In my capacity as a university professor and Director of the Tucumán Research Center (CIT) of the Federalism and Freedom Foundation, I participated between March 15 and 30 in the National Development Program of Higher Level, organized annually by the National Defense University of Taiwan for Hispanic American officers, researchers, and university professors.
This program included training sessions on the history, culture, society, democratic regime, technological advances, and development of freedoms of the Republic of China (Taiwan); as well as the issue of the constant threat looming over that island by the Chinese Communist Party.
The visit also included tours of the most relevant military units of that country, corresponding to the three armed forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force), to various cultural and research entities (the National Palace Museum, the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial, the National Defense and Security Research Institute, among others).
Attendees also had the opportunity to visit porcelain and knife-making craft workshops, as well as distilleries and technology development companies, to learn about the economic potential of that Asian tiger.
