With Chinese leader Xi Jinping repeatedly stating his plans to take Taiwan—by force if necessary—many are wondering: what might such an invasion look like and how prepared is Taiwan to defend itself and withstand such an assault? 

Enoch Wu is working to tip the balance in Taiwan’s favor. Born in Chicago to Taiwanese parents, he decided to quit his lucrative career as a finance executive in Hong Kong to join Taiwan’s special forces in his early 30s. And he’s since devoted his life to preventing Taiwan from being wiped from the map by its large totalitarian neighbor. 

In 2020, he founded Forward Alliance to train ordinary Taiwanese in trauma medicine, search and rescue, setting up communication networks, and organizing shelters in a crisis. 

The group has now trained tens of thousands of ordinary Taiwanese to become de facto first responders through partnerships with local churches, schools, and other community groups. 

Wu explains his philosophy that while the military acts as a country’s sword, societal resilience acts as a country’s shield. 

At the heart of our conversation is an urgent message: “The whole point of living in a democratic society,” Wu says, “is that we are all owners, and we have to take responsibility. We can’t treat democracy like a heritage that’s just passed down. You can’t take it as a given. You have to continue to nurture it. You have to invest in it. You have to improve it.”
