 KOUMINGTANG ARMY KMT-1
Because the military played an integral role in the governance of Taiwan for approximately fifty years, the restructuring and reinvigoration of the civil-military dialogue is of substantial regional importance.
Military morale was so low, in fact, that the execution of regular peacetime mobilization drills resulted in circumstances where reserve soldiers disputed orders from their commanders.(Chieh-cheng Huang, 2) The need for this particular type of reform is therefore critical to the cultivation of military professionalism, combat efficiency, and stable civil-military relations.
During the Chinese Civil War (1926–1949), Chiang attempted to eradicate the Chinese Communists but ultimately failed, forcing his government to retreat to Taiwan, where he continued serving as the President of the Republic of China and Director-General of the KMT for the remainder of his life.

China's military is proposing officer exchanges and other confidence-building measures with the U.S. Army and may be inching closer to setting up a "hotline" for emergency communication with Washington, the top U.S. general said Friday.
Military exchanges were largely suspended following a collision between a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese jet fighter over the South China Sea in 2001.
"The Chinese military understands as well as I do that the opportunity to pick up the phone and talk to somebody you know and smooth out misunderstandings quickly is a very important part of relations between two countries," Pace said.

In conrast to traditional secrecy surrounding the country's military affairs, Beijing chose to publicise its new downsizing campaign by selecting two experts from military-backed think tanks to be interviewed on the Chinese Central Television on what the new cuts mean for China's ambitions to build a slimmer and more mobile force.
Both military experts took pains to emphasise that the top-to-bottom modernisation drive aimed at forming a skilled and lean army was as important as the purchase of sophisticated weapons China wants to acquire.
