Annual Taiwan-US Military Dialogue -Monterey Talks and intelligence collaboration【台美蒙特瑞會談】軍情局長楊靜瑟首獲邀列席 CIA盼與台合作對中國情戰 Up Media: Geostrategery and Taiwan Republic classrooms

據指出，楊靜瑟就任軍情局長後，其管理方式是尊重並傾聽各專業單位的意見，再彙整意見後才會提出其作法，在人事管理上也是尊重專業與績效來考量其升遷，在這一連串的「安內」作法後，軍情局內部躁動的氣氛逐漸平靜下來。不過，因近來中國對台軍事動作頻繁，加上美CIA高層釋出，中國國家主席習近平告知解放軍，要在2027年發展出武統台灣的能力，反觀軍情局在之前內耗太嚴重，一時間對於中國對台的情勢研析，無法提出有質量與前瞻性預判，時常就被部長邱國正數落責難，讓楊靜瑟的壓力不少。據了解，這次美國CIA提出直接與軍情局情報對接，希望能以直接合作模式，對中國的研判能更精準；不過，國防部最後考量其情報來源的保護，最後還是裁示軍情局可與美國CIA直接進行情報合作與交換，還是先由聯二次長室審核後才可予以交流。

If this report is accurate, that the US (CIA) invited Taiwanese Military Intelligence to collaborate directly with the CIA, then this is good news. The Taiwan Ministry of National Defense is the least democratized and most requiring of revolutionary changes in Taiwan’s national government, and the intelligence agencies are even more so. Anything that key democratic allies of Taiwan can do to help Taiwan’s national security apparatus democratize and modernize will do as much to deter a Chinese communist invasion as weapons and increased defense spending. This is also where strategic clarity on the part of the US will help greatly. 21.9.2022
