Americans have been secretly training Taiwan's forces

The WSJ is out with a story that could have geopolitical repercussions. They report that a small group of Americans has been training local forces.

About two dozen members of U.S. special-operations and support troops are conducting training for small units of Taiwan's ground forces, the officials said. The U.S. Marines are working with local maritime forces on small-boat training. The American forces have been operating in Taiwan for at least a year, the officials said.
