US Special Forces secretly deployed to Taiwan: Report

US Special Forces and Marines have been secretly training Taiwanese forces for at least a year, US media reported Thursday.

“A US special operations unit and a contingent of Marines have been secretly operating in Taiwan to train military forces there,” The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed American officials, adding the deployment is “part of efforts to shore up the island’s defenses as concern regarding potential Chinese aggression mounts.”

The report comes amid soaring tensions as China has sent warplanes nearly 150 times into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the past few days.

The ADIZ is a buffer zone outside a country’s airspace where it has the right to ask incoming aircraft to identify themselves.
