Whether it is McCarthy, the president of the US House of Representatives, who meets leader Tsai Ing -wen, or McCull, chairman of the House Foreign Council, who came to Taiwan, emphasized and accelerated the delivery of military sales weapons to scare mainland China.Essence
But the people of Taiwan care about is that the United States will support the United States with military power in case of the two -strait war?The Taiwan Relations Law only clearly states that once the two sides of the strait are facing war, what role the United States wants to play, according to the interests of the United States, gives the US government a considerable flexibility.
Recently, Mainland China announced a circular exercise. The United States Association in Taiwan (AIT) issued a statement emphasizing that the United States has the confidence to ensure that the Taiwan Strait is peaceful and stable, and fulfill its national security commitment.However, from the United States repeatedly emphasized that in accordance with the Taiwan relations law and the "six guarantees", the US focus is only to strengthen Taiwan's self -defense forces.
The most important thing in the Taiwan Relations Law is Article 3 of the Law. The United States ordering the United States will enable Taiwan to gain sufficient self -defense ability. If Taiwan is threatened, it will endanger the interests of the United States.Appropriate actions should be taken.
