REUTERS/Angie TeoTAIPEI, June 13 (Reuters) - Taiwan's military released an updated civil defence handbook on Tuesday that for the first time includes a section on how to tell the difference between Chinese and Taiwanese soldiers based on their uniforms, camouflage and insignia. One of the changes includes illustrations of Taiwanese service personnel and "enemy soldiers" wearing Chinese military uniforms. The Taiwanese soldiers are shown smiling, whereas the Chinese ones have downturned mouths and a severe expression. It's actually quite hard to distinguish them," All-Out Defence Mobilisation Agency Director Shen Wei-chih told reporters at the defence ministry.
