President Tsai Ing-wen said on Tuesday
Taiwan will extend compulsory military service to one year from the current four months due to the increased threat it faces from China, President Tsai Ing-wen said on Tuesday.
"As long as Taiwan is strong enough, it will be the home of democracy and freedom all over the world, and it will not become a battlefield," Tsai told a news conference announcing the decision. (Reporting by Yimou Lee; Writing by Ben Blanchard Editing by Shri Navaratnam)
