Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen called for civil efforts to defend the country against the increased authoritarian threat, referencing the Ukraine war, as she visited training army reservists.

“The recent situation in Ukraine once again proved that to protect the country, in addition to the assistance from the international society, depends on the unity of the whole people,” Tsai said on March 12 as she observed reservists undergoing training led by army veterans at the Nanshipu firing range outside the capital Taipei.
