摘要:
雖然台灣面臨著可能被迫與中國統一的威脅，但在目前的威脅面前，其軍事硬件和戰略已經過時了。目前的台灣軍事領導人仍然抱著一種過時的、奪回大陸的進攻性心態，而不是以台灣在現有邊界內的生存為重點的防禦性心態，這一點從購買發動兩棲行動所需的武器裝備就可以看出。相反，台灣應該購買能夠削弱解放軍空軍、海軍和網絡攻擊的防禦性武器。台灣軍事組織在ˋ定國防政策時缺乏安全研究專家，政界和公眾對軍隊的不信任，以及其內部不斷的醜聞和腐敗。這些問題導致台灣軍事組織在制定國防政策時缺乏資訊，其軍事政策受到更多限制，許多人對軍事生涯缺乏興趣。 

Summary: 
Although Taiwan is threatened with a possible forced reunification with PRC, its military hardware and strategies are obsolete in the face of the current threat. Current Taiwanese military leaders still have an outdated, offensive mindset of retaking the mainland rather than a defensive mindset focused on the survival of Taiwan within current borders, demonstrated by the purchase of weaponry required to launch amphibious operations. Instead, Taiwan should purchase defensive weapons that can cripple PLA's air force, navy, and cyberattacks. Taiwan's military organization faces a lack of security studies experts when formulating defense policies, distrust among politicians and the public with the military, and constant scandals and corruption within its ranks. These problems led to a lack of information when devising defense policies, more constraints in military policies, and a lack of interest in military careers.
