Taiwanese stage protests vs Phl fisherman slay
(Associated Press) | Updated May 13, 2013 - 4:22pm

Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-cheng's boat（洪石成）, the Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28, is checked by Taiwanese officers after arriving at Liuqiu port in Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, Saturday, May 11, 2013. Taiwan said that the Philippine Coast Guard opened fire Thursday on the 65-year-old fisherman in waters claimed by both governments. The Philippines acknowledged the Taiwanese claim, but said its personnel were acting in self-defense. The shooting death of Kuang by the Philippine coast guard became the latest incident to roil tensions over territorial disputes in and around the South China Sea, with Taipei calling Friday for Manila to apologize for the shooting

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Some 200 Taiwanese have shouted angry slogans outside the Philippines representative office in Taipei to protest last week's killing of a Taiwanese fisherman by the Philippines coast guard in disputed waters.

Monday's demonstration comes one day before the end of an ultimatum imposed by Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou for the Philippines to apologize for the incident and provide compensation to the dead man's family.

If the Philippines refuses, Ma says he will order Taiwanese representatives in Manila back to Taipei and deny Filipinos permission to work in Taiwan.

The Philippines coast guard has admitted it fired the shots that killed the Taiwanese fisherman in the Bashi Strait, between Taiwan and the northern Philippines, but said it acted in self-defense because the Taiwanese vessel was about to ram it.（这段的说法大致就是菲律宾海岸警卫队方面声称自己是出于自卫，因为台湾渔船要冲撞海岸警卫队的船只）


另外一个和台湾有关的是提到台湾军队的志愿兵的日益短缺，大意是说台湾军队出现了志愿兵员短缺的现象。有些台湾年轻人赞同老一辈人的说法：“好男不当兵”（台湾的兵员早有草莓化趋势，现在越来越多的年轻人不愿当兵，估计马娘娘着急也没用）



Taiwan short of volunteers for the military

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A Taiwanese plan to end mandatory military service and shift to an all-volunteer force is running into a problem: Not enough volunteers.

Such forces are generally considered superior to conscripted ones, because those serving want to be there. Taiwan wants to field a leaner and meaner military of 176,000 volunteers by 2015, in place of its current compliment of 235,000 volunteers and conscripts.

But the military fell 4,000 short of its goal of 15,000 volunteers last year, and likewise was 2,000 short of its much smaller target of 4,000 in 2011.

Recruitment is proving difficult in a prosperous society that offers young people alternatives and doesn't glorify military service. Unlike in the United States, political candidates here almost never mention military service when campaigning, almost as if it were a badge of shame.

"I pretty much agree with that old Chinese saying that good people don't go into the military," said Yen Shou-cheng, 28, who manages a food shop in downtown Taipei. "I myself did just a couple of weeks of training and it was a total waste of time. There are far more important things in life than serving your country in the army — earning good money to take care of your wife and kids, for example."

Some young people also question the need for a strong defense, because of Taiwan's rapidly improving relations and expanding trade with its once implacable foe on the Chinese mainland. Moreover, given China's growing military strength, some think resistance would be futile.

World ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1 "I think Taiwan has no chance of winning in a fight against China," said Wang Yen-zhou, 19, a student at Taipei's Taiwan National University. "We are not strong enough. So fighting doesn't make sense."

Gone are the days when Taiwan could recruit soldiers with martial music and patriotic slogans about retaking the mainland. Today, hip depictions of soldiers dressed as funky cartoon characters are a dominant theme at the Keelung Street military recruiting center in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei, one of four such centers spread around this island of 23 million people.

Taiwanese defense experts say the government also needs to offer higher salaries. All-volunteer militaries may be more professional, but they're also more expensive.

"The budget to sustain the force is not enough," said Lin Chong-pin, a former deputy defense minister. "Many people believe the Ministry of Defense should rethink the entire concept."

The ministry insists it can reach its recruiting targets, though Col. Hu Zhong-shi, the deputy director of the ministry's military recruiting effort, concedes that a strong economy is making it difficult.

"In 2010, when the economy was bad, we did very well," he said. "Now that it is improving we are facing more of a challenge."

The basic salary for a voluntary recruit is around 30,000 New Taiwan dollars ($1,000) a month, with bonuses for service in combat arms — the infantry, armor and artillery — and for extended periods of enlistment.

Alexander Huang of Taipei's Tamkang University believes the government needs to raise defense spending from its present 2.2 percent of GDP to about 3 percent to meet the 2015 all-volunteer force goal. But that seems unlikely under President Ma Ying-jeou, who has focused on improving relations with China and sanctioned a cutback in military exercises.

The struggle to recruit worries some U.S. defense experts.

While an attack may seem unlikely, China has never renounced the use of force in its bid to bring Taiwan under its control. It has an estimated 1,500 missiles aimed at the island across the 160-kilometer- (100-mile-) wide Taiwan Strait.

William Stanton, the former head of the de facto U.S. embassy on Taiwan, told a China-wary audience in Taipei in March that declining military budgets and other signs of a weakened commitment to military readiness have left Taiwan vulnerable to Chinese attack and made it easier for mainland spies to penetrate its armed forces.

"I worry (about Taiwan)," he said, "because I sometimes think the Taiwanese people do not worry enough."

One Taiwanese proudly bucking the trend is Kung Yun-ru, 22, a recent university graduate in design. She said her family's deep-seated military tradition — both her grandfather and uncle served in the army — helped cement her decision to report to one of Taipei's two main recruiting depots and volunteer to become an officer in the military police.

"My motives are entirely patriotic," she said, filling out her enlistment forms with a friend. "I love Taiwan. And I'm definitely not afraid of the Chinese Communists."

But Taipei university student Zhuang Ming-zheng, 20, questioned the whole idea of military readiness: "We have good economic relations with the mainland, so there's no reason to think that an attack will ever happen."
