@godfat @chasewnelson Yeah, it's a pretty confusing situation.
I also wonder were the loyalties of the ROC army lie in all of this. It's pretty hard to find good information about his in English, but I have noticed that the DPP in almost 8y in power has never appointed one of their own as Defense Minister. Instead they've picked a series of what appear to be KMT-sympathising former generals, the incumbent being a particularly obvious example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiu_Kuo-cheng#Language_dispute_in_the_Legislative_Yuan
