Secure Taiwan Monthly

Secure Taiwan Monthly is written by members of Research Project on China’s Defense Affairs (RCDA) at the Security Taiwan Associate (STA). It analyzes key military developments in China and the Indo-Pacific region relevant to Taiwan’s security over the past month, available in both Traditional Chinese and English versions.

STA is a nonprofit public organization. Its mission is to unite the intellectual resources of Taiwan’s academic community with the energy of civil society, focusing on security issues that are crucial to Taiwan’s survival and development.

The English name, Secure Taiwan “Associate,” rather than the typical term “association,” highlights that we are a group of partners, rather than just being an organization.

RCDA conducts research on Chinese military affairs and issues related to People's Liberation Army’s aggression against Taiwan, while engaging in exchanges with experts around the globe.

Main members of RCDA:

    Director: Chengkun Ma

    Deputy Director: Tai-yuan Yang

    Research Associate: K. Tristan Tang

    Interns: Thomas T. Kao & B. Rex Chang
