TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's Naval Command on Monday (Nov. 9) confirmed media reports that a contingent of U.S. Marines have arrived at the invitation of Taiwan's military and will begin training Taiwanese troops for four weeks starting that day, marking the first public acknowledgment of U.S. Marines training in Taiwan in over 40 years.
Starting on Monday, the Marine Raiders, the Marines' special operations soldiers, will begin training Taiwanese Marines in assault boat and speedboat infiltration operations at the Tsoying Naval Base in Kaohsiung, reported UDN. This is the first interaction between Taiwanese troops and those of an allied country since the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) put a halt to such exchanges about seven or eight months ago.
The Navy Command stated that this case is a 'routine Taiwan-U.S. military exchange and cooperation training." It said that it hopes that through this exchange with U.S. Marines, it can improve the combat capabilities of its own troops.

WW3 fears surge as China ‘obstructs’ Taiwan from key WHO meeting amid soaring tensions
TAIWAN has said China is obstructing the country from receiving an invite to an important World Health Organisation meeting which is expected to focus on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the island's foreign ministry has said.

On Sunday evening, Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said it had not yet been invited to the virtual WHO meeting of 194 member states.
It said: “The Foreign Ministry expresses strong regret and dissatisfaction at China’s obstruction of Taiwan participating in the WHO and the WHO’s continuing to neglect the health and human rights of Taiwan’s 23.5 million people.”
The ministry added that the WHO’s refusal to invite Taiwan to the meeting due to the political situation makes a mockery of the organisation’s claim to promote “health for all”.
The independent island has been blocked from most global organisations due to China’s political objections.
