Taiwan has a Trump problem |
◆
The Atlantics,
2024-10-25 |
The shortcomings of Taiwan's
military lend some validity to Trump's
complaint that America's
allies don't pay enough for
their own defense and dump too much of the
responsibility onto the United States—a burden that a
second Trump administration might not be committed to
bear. |
◆
New York Times,
2024-10-26 |
Mr. Trump criticized Taiwan,
saying that “they stole our chip business”,“They want us to protect,
... They don't
pay us money for the protection...
The mob makes you pay money, right?”America's heavy reliance on Taiwan's semiconductors has been a growing
source of concern among U.S. officials, given China's ongoing threats to
invade the self-governing island. |
◆
NY
Times, 2024-10-22: The frequency of the exercises suggests that China is stepping up its
intimidation efforts: The Chinese military has held two such large-scale
exercises since Mr.
Lai took office in May, the same number that it held over the
previous eight years.◆
Wall
Street Journal, 2024-10-17:
China practiced a military blockade of Taiwan that is an all
too real future possibility.
Short of Taiwan's surrender, a blockade may be President Xi Jinping's
preferred option.
All underscores the urgent need to buttress deterrence against
a blockade or invasion. This means more civil defense training and
military spending in Taiwan, and
faster U.S. weapons delivery...The next U.S. President could easily face a Taiwan
crisis◆
Foreign Affairs, 2024-10-16:
By almost universal agreement, the
Taiwan Strait has emerged as the most
combustible flash point in the world. Some
have called on the United States to make an unequivocal
commitment to defend Taiwan.
Others have focused on enhancing Taiwan's
defenses. A much smaller number of
analysts have advocated cutting a deal with Beijing in which
Washington ends its commitment to defending Taiwan and the
island is left to fend for itself.◆
Council on Foreign Relations, 2024-10-16:
Taiwan and other U.S. partners
will need to contend with an increasingly capable and
aggressive China and rising
isolationism and protectionism in the United States. Trump's
foreign policy pronouncements reflect sentiments held by many in
the United States.
China's
response to a speech by President Lai Ching-te
in Taiwan's national day |
◆
New York Times, 2024-10-13 |
China began holding military drills in areas
surrounding Taiwan, a response to a
speech by President Lai Ching-te of Taiwan, who said that China had “no
right to represent” the island and China and
Taiwan were “not subordinate to each other” .
China did not say when the exercises would conclude. |
◆◆New York Times, 2024-10-16 |
David Sacks, a fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations, said PLA's activities are coming
closer and closer to Taiwan shores.
China's military drills were aimed at demonstrating its
potential to choke Taiwan's access to food and fuel and block the skies
and waters from which the United States and its allies would presumably
approach in coming to the island's defense.
The drills send the message that Taiwan remains so sensitive, so
important and crucial for the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist
Party”, said Bonnie Glaser. |

China threatens Taiwan with more trade measures after
denouncing president's speech |
◆
The American Conservative
, 2024-10-11:
Although there is widespread agreement in
Taiwan that avoiding war is
desirable, there is no consensus on whether deterrence through
militarization is the best path forward. Conscription, currently
set at a year, is far from adequate in preparing Taiwan's
youth for the type of civic and military readiness found in
nations like Israel or South Korea. There
is a prevalent assumption, that America will
unquestionably intervene in the event of an invasion. A
comprehensive strategy must also aim at fostering political
unity, morale, and military readiness in Taiwan
◆
United
States Institute of Peace, 2024-10-9: Bloomberg Economics has estimated a war
with Taiwan would cost equivalent to 10% of global GDP —
China's GDP would suffer a 16.7% blow
compared to 40% for what would be a devastated Taiwanese economy.
With a far bigger economy than Russia's, China would have
more leverage than Moscow to resist U.S.-led efforts to isolate it after an
attack on Taiwan.
◆
Chicago Council on Global Affairs
, 2024-10-8:
Should China invade, Americans support
arming Taipei but oppose direct military intervention.。A
narrow majority of Americans (51%) say the United States should encourage Taiwan
to maintain the status quo rather than move toward independence (36%) or
unification (4%).

Beijing could wage an economic and cyber war to force a

Brookings,
2024-10-3 |
China's leaders appear determined to show directional
progress toward their goal of asserting control over Taiwan. Beijing is pursuing
two parallel paths, significant military build-up
and "coercion
without violence" to compel the people of Taiwan
to accept some form of
union with the People's Republic of China as
a least bad option for Taiwan's future. Harris said in
2022 that the United
States would “support Taiwan's self-defense, consistent with our
longstanding policy.”. Trump's disdain for
alliances and security partnerships, though, negatively impacted Taiwan by
calling into question the reliability of America's
security commitments. The common thread among these utterances is
Trump (team) suggestion that
Taiwan is too small and far away for the United States to feel obliged to
defend. |

Wall Street Journal,
2024-9-21:
Supply bottlenecks had delayed delivery of weapon systems to Taiwan
valued at more than $20 billion. Unlike Ukraine or Israel, Taiwan's geography as an island makes
resupplying its military a bigger challenge. Military experts in the West
are particularly concerned that China could try to force Taiwan to capitulate
with a blockade.Taiwan needs to be as independent as
possible to be able to replenish its weapon systems.◆
