SOFX The Crossroads of Special Operations
Democracy protests throughout China have been regularly making international news.

These protests are creating more tension between the renegade republic island and mainland with Taiwan’s presidential election coming up next year. A gray zone currently exists between the island and their fate, with China chomping at the bit to reunify it with the mainland despite the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.
