According to an article from Taiwan's Want Daily, a Taiwanese scholar says Chinese Navy is capable of searching for the Chinese mainland tourists. He points out Taiwan's relevant authorities should not refuse Chinese mainland's proposal of supports in rescues. He says this kind of cooperation doesn't involve defense secrets and military security, but could promote mutual understanding and learning.

According to the scholar, rescue is not the main task of Taiwan's troops. The structure and capability of Taiwan's military force don't fit rescue work.

The Taiwan's military force will face tougher challenge from constant natural disasters after troops are further cut in the future. Therefore, on the one hand, Taiwan's military force should focus on improvement of rescue equipment and rescuing capability. On the other hand, Taiwan should actively take cooperation of humanitarian rescues into consideration.

In this regard, he thinks the military mutual trust system across the Straits could start from humanitarian rescues.

Could humanitarian resuce be a start for military mutual trust across the Straits?
