US Secretary of Defense Austin has recently emphasized that due to the rise in mainland China, the United States will provide Taiwan's self -defense capabilities in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Law; at the same time, the number of people in Taiwan in Taiwan and Taiwan -US military exchanges are frequently reported to the camp level to camp levels.The scale, the US military's reserve ammunition in East Asia and storing information on Taiwan.Under the leadership of the Biden government, "pure military" has become the main axis of the current US -Taiwan relations. The DPP government blindly conforms to the United States and shouts to prepare for war.The library "is only separated by the front line, but it is the division of peace and war.

Limited effect on land military deterrence

Austin pointed out in a memo issued by the Ministry of Defense's personnel that in response to China's "step -by -step challenge", it is still the priority task of the US military. The international rules of Chinese attempts that meet authoritarian preferences are "challenges of generations."When referring to strengthening the deterrent situation of the Indo -Pacific region, he first named Taiwan. In addition to showing the United States' security commitment to Taiwan, the real meaning is that the United States will intensify the Taiwan card.

Under the encouragement of the United States' expansion of bilateral military cooperation, coupled with the "anti -China -China -protecting Taiwan" thinking, the Cai government believes that the U.S. umbrella can ensure the safety of Taiwan.Minister of Defense Qiu Guozheng told the Kuomintang legislator Jiang Qichen that the ascetic storage of U.S. forces in Taiwan is still discussing, but the DPP government is unlikely to tell the United States that it is very small, otherwise he will be trapped in "suspicious beauty".

On the occasion of China ’s anti -Chinese flames, the New York Times, foreign policy, national interests and other mainstream American media and professional publications have recently essays.Warning with the Chinese war is not a matter of easy to do, far from that the United States can be comparable to the frustrations suffered by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan.Even the world's largest power in the United States has this sense of crisis. The DPP government and the Ministry of Defense are more responsible for clearing and understanding that the risks and potential damage of the Taiwan Strait War are not complacent because of the US security commitment.

The basic thinking of the United States and Taiwan cooperation is to deter that Beijing does not dare to use martial arts against Taiwan. Effective deterrence basic elements are energy, credibility and communication, but the U.S. military, which has caused enthusiastic discussions, plans to rename Taiwan in East Asia.Building Taiwan as a military arsenal, enhanced the level of military exchanges in the United States and Taiwan, and expanding the US military's staff in Taiwan are all local and small -scale actions, which is not enough to change the military forces on both sides of the strait, and it is more difficult to achieve a deterrent effect.

Remember the lessons of the Russian and Ukraine War, the United States has strengthened Taiwan's military backup, and the deployment of Taiwan as a thermal tank has been discussed since last year, but the most fundamental problem isAt 19 billion US dollars, Taiwan ’s asymmetric combat needed thorns carried air defense missiles, javelin anti-armored missiles, MQ-9B dead god drones, and Hamas high-performance multi-tube rockets cannot be determined as scheduled.

The Cai government chooses the most dangerous road

Now discuss the filtering of the inventory weapons of the U.S. military in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. In addition to weakening the energy reserve energy of the local U.S. military, giving people the feeling of digging the east wall and complementing the West Wall, how can the types of weapons and ammunition be transported to Taiwan, Disted storage locations and facilities, and how to effectively protect, avoid becoming the target of attack, and extend more complex and sensitive issues.

The real crisis of the current Taiwan Strait is that all parties have lost strategic mutual trust. Under the strategic competition structure, the United States will no longer propose cross -strait peace to resolve each other's differences.At the same time, the military force for Taiwan is improving the military forces to prevent the US military from intervening. The United States has interpreted that Beijing will replace and peace with martial arts. It must improve Taiwan's self -defense capabilities. US -China confrontation has fallen into a vicious spiral that is constantly increasing.

The Chinese balloon floating to the United States was shot down. Russia's invasion of Ukraine's anniversary triggered a new round of US -China confrontation. The United States immediately announced that it was high -profile military sales and expanded military cooperation with Taiwan.obvious.The edge of the Chinese Red Line that currently traveled to China has not taken actions that recognize Taiwan as the country.Vulnerability is an indisputable fact.

Due to racial, religious, geopolitics and other factors, there are often conflicts. They are called "European Grifuls". Economist magazines call Taiwan the most dangerous area of the earth.It should be the primary responsibility of the governor, but the DPP government is obviously more enthusiastic about preparing for war, creating Taiwan as an arsenal, and choosing the most stupid and dangerous road for the people of Taiwan.
