The United States announced on July 28th that it would provide Taiwan's US $ 345 million ($ 459 million) military aid, including the supply of spot military products and professional training to strengthen the current combat power of the Taiwan army, but did not provide it in the memorandum of memo, but did not provide it in the memorandum of memo.Detailed list of military products.This is the first time that the United States has stopped supporting military aid for free military in Taiwan 50 years ago.The security risks of the Taiwan Strait that may cause the US military in the United States, and the Tsai government should accurately grasp and respond.

This time is the first time that the United States has used the "Presidential Dialing Right" military to help Taiwan, and it provides military aid to Taiwan from the existing inventory extraction of the United States.In response, Chen Binhua, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Mainland China, said on the 29th that the DPP officially insisted on the separation of Taiwan independence, trying to "rely on the beauty of the beauty" and "conspiracy with martial arts" to strengthen the linked to the US military.If the Democratic Progressive Party walks to black, young people can only be used as cannon fodder.

The nature of the United States' exception to the Taiwan military is the nature of rescue rather than the poor. The main reason is that the PLA's combat power has expanded rapidly in recent years.To induce the mainland to solve the problem of unity with military means.Furthermore, Taiwan has recommended a lot of weapons and equipment under the United States. However, due to the Russian and Ukraine War and other related factors, it takes a considerable time to be delivered to the army.The gap between Taiwan's backwardness can also successfully connect to the use of new equipment operations in the future.

For the US military aid in the United States, the mainland official media immediately released the "Southern Minnan coastal helicopter drill to hit the sea to fight against the island" film.With real bomb shooting exercises, and continuously launched multiple air -to -ground missiles to complete the strike of targets.It is not difficult to see that Beijing's first statement of the United States' first restoration of Taiwan's military aid has not changed, but how does Taiwan strengthen the specific combat power after obtaining military aid and the result of the 2024 presidential election is the real.Focus.

The foundation of the three -party interaction of the United States and Lutai is mainly the three joint communiqués in the United States and China, the Taiwan relations law of the United States, and the "six guarantees". The United States has strengthened Taiwan's military backup in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Law.However, in the past few decades, the effects of Taiwan's military strength have been very limited. The amount of defense budget has limited the scale of military power, and the recruitment of personnel, personnel quality, military training, organizational culture, joint combat power integration of the three armies, and the guarantee of logistics supplies guaranteeAbility, troops morale, the degree of implementation of the national defense, and the trust and support of the army in the society, etc., the gap between the actual situation and the ideal standards is too large, so it has aroused worry in the United States and Western countries.

In recent years, the mainland sea and the Air Force have normal activities around the Taiwan Strait, including warships' combat police patrols, fighter aircraft often fly over the middle line of the Taiwan Strait to the neighboring area.For Taiwan's military exercise or missile test firing, aircraft carrier to the east of Huadong for take -off and landing training, etc., too many military activities have compressed Taiwan's strategic depth, causing Taiwan's military buffer and insufficient security.The military pressure and qualitative changes in Taiwan are alternately.

Since the reform of the mainland, the PLA has been required to actively prepare for the war. Taiwan has faced the military pressure of the mainland, and its frequency, breadth, and strength will only increase.Strengthening the specific combat power is a very serious issue. Otherwise, the military aid cannot be improved to actual combat power, but it has become an excuse for military pressure on the mainland.
