[edit] Name change and/or moving of page?

The department has been officially re-named Chinese People's Armed Police Force (or CAPF, as written on their arm patches). Suggest we move the page, anyone agree? -- Seng Yew, 23:58, October 27th, 2006 (UTC +8)

[edit] The Taiwan Situation

It has been speculated by various elements of the media that the People's Republic of China would use the armed police force to occupy Taiwan, should it deem this necessary, instead of using the People's Liberation Army. This is because the armed police force receives training similar to that of the regular army, has advanced equipment, and more importantly, the use of the police force would make the situation an "internal affair" and would make foreign intervention more difficult politically.
