Military Conscription Rules for Dual Nationality Chinese

Does anyone know if a Taiwanese national can avoid conscription by simply apply for a PRC (Chinese) passport?

That would make you a defector…

Yes that is fine, my spouse is the Taiwanese citizen and is becoming American. We have nothing to do with Taiwan, he was actually born in Taipei but raised in Shanghai. However he does have some relatives there and would like to see them after he becomes American citizen.
