The intelligence and security services of the Republic of China on Taiwan have been transformed by democratization and Taiwanization. After decades as â political policeâ answering to the Nationalist Party, in the 1980s they began to focus on threats to the state, ending the use of coercion, and accepting external supervision. Like all aspects of political change on Taiwan, however, institutional reform of these agencies, particularly the National Security Bureau, became caught up in the islandâ s unresolved dilemmas of national identity and its precarious relationship with the Peopleâ s Republic of China. Such conflicts threaten to undermine the effectiveness of these agencies
