Formosa Outlook Hinted United States and Nationalists Team Up
Maj. Gen. William C. Chase, head of the U S Military Advisory Assistance Group on Formosa, said in a New Year statement that the United States and Nationalist China are equal partners in fighting Communism. He urged closer coordination to keep the team ready for action on Formosa or elsewhere. The Nationalists face a potential Red push as they rebuild morale and combat effectiveness toward a possible return to the mainland, aided by U S ECA and overseas supporters. The Seventh Fleet’s role remains to guard Formosa, with three key expectations: no major invasion, if any then a thrashing outcome, and no attack without Soviet approval.
