recently, the south china morning post reported that the number of soldiers in the taiwan military has been reduced to a "worrying" level! it is expected that the number of active volunteers in the taiwan military will drop sharply to 160,800 in 2025, which is less than 80% of the required number. and this number will continue to drop as the birth rate in taiwan plummets and more veterans choose to retire early! this will not only lead to fewer and fewer "cannon fodder" for the "taiwan independence armed forces" to "refuse unification", but also the huge amount of weapons and ammunition purchased from the united states for self-protection over the years has fallen into an embarrassing situation where no one can operate them skillfully due to the loss of veterans and the short service period of new recruits!

the current manpower shortage of the taiwan military is still large. due to factors such as personal studies, employment, and fear of being "cannon fodder" on the battlefield, the recruitment results of the taiwan military in recent years have been very unsatisfactory. after the number of taiwan troops reached a high of 165,000 in 2022, it dropped sharply to 155,000 in 2023. and the front-line troops can only reach 80% of the full quota.
