Quemoy as Taiwan's Symbol of Defiance and Defense
A St Louis Dispatch report tours Quemoy Island near the Mainland, detailing its heavy fortifications and propaganda role. It notes six hour revolts promised by Nationalists, the island’s tunnels, bunkers, and a theater carved in rock used for morale. It also recalls past Communist attempts, limited shelling, and the view that symbolism outweighs military leverage.
