Historical:

Beginning in the 1940s and throughout the next three decades the U.S. sold hundreds of M8 and M20s to smaller countries because they were well suited for the duties smaller militaries would need plus the price was very affordable. After the M8 was deemed unsatisfactory for military purposes the Taiwan military supplied some of these vehicles to various Police Departments who used them for crowd and riot control. Into the 1980s and 90s the Taiwan Provincial Police had a detachment stationed in Taipei and at the airport.
