¡»¡»Wall Street Journal, 2025-5-10 | Taiwan's leaders have embarked on an urgent overhaul of the island's defenses to prepare for what they see as the possibility of a Chinese invasion by 2027. The purpose: be able to hold on long enough for the U.S. to come to the rescue. the deputy foreign minister said: Taiwan will also need to know if U.S. forces will show up. |
¡»¡»New York Times, 2025-5-6 | China's military is now the world's largest armed force and rivals the United States in air, naval and missile power. Xi Can't Trust His Own Military. Taiwan should radically increase spending on weapons such as anti-ship cruise missiles, sea mines and drones. The US should deploy more long-range missiles... |
¡»¡»Foreign Policy, 2025-5-1 | Lai Ching-te gave several speeches that went significantly further than his predecessors in positioning Taiwan as a sovereign state that is separate from China. The Trump administration should rein in Lai before he mistakes Washington's passivity for approval and entangles the United States in a potentially calamitous war. Polls show that scarcely more than one-third of Americans would favor going to war for Taiwan. Taiwan must not assume the US will fight World War III on its behalf. |
¡»¡»Economist, 2025-5-1 | A blockade could provoke an American military response without forcing Taiwan to surrender. That is why a quarantine is more likely. Elbridge Colby has long argued that America should concentrate on containing China, not least by explicitly guaranteeing Taiwan's security. Now he says Taiwan is not an ¡§existential¡¨ matter for America and suggests the island cannot be defended at acceptable cost. economist.com/briefing/2025/05/01/chinese-military-exercises-foreshadow-a-blockade-of-taiwan |
¡»¡»Deutsche Welle (DW), 2025-5-5 | Energy would be Beijing's first target in case of a blockade or invasion. The water supply is powered by electricity, communication is based on electricity and the military would not be able to function without it. |
¡»¡»The Diplomat, 2025-4-29 | Taiwan was not taking defense reform more seriously, and responding to calls for a dramatic increase in defense spending with a less than credible ¡§counteroffer¡¨ to make incremental increases. PS: War on the Rocks, 2025-4-16: Taiwan's military remains a profoundly unserious organization. It is not ready to wage war. |
¡»¡»Brookings, 2025-4-25 | Only 37.5% of respondents in Taiwan believed in March 2025 that it is ¡§likely¡¨ or ¡§very likely¡¨ that the United States would intervene in a military conflict. Across almost all measures on the survey, the United States is seen as a less reliable partner, Taiwan and South Korea both feel less confident that the United States will assist them in the event of a conflict with their respective authoritarian neighbor.brookings.edu/articles/the-trump-effect-on-public-attitudes-toward-america-in-taiwan-and-south-korea/ |
¡»¡»TIME, 2025-4-26 | Why China-Taiwan relations are getting so tense? Lai Ching-te's DPP lacks a parliamentary majority, and he can't be sure the Trump Administration has his back. Whatever his political intent, Lai has become more strident on cross-Taiwan Strait questions in recent weeks. |
¡»¡»Reuters, 2025-4-18 | the Republican Senator Pete Ricketts said that although administrations change, the bipartisan support for Taiwan in Congress continued; The US will keep helping Taiwan in its self-defence. |
¡»¡»The Hill, 2025-4-19 | The commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, gave testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee: In 2024, the People's Liberation Party demonstrated growing capabilities through persistent pressure operations with military pressure against Taiwan increasing by 300%¡¨, ¡§China's increasingly aggressive actions near Taiwan are not just exercises, they are rehearsals¡¨. |
¡»¡»The Insider, 2025-4-19 | The commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command: China could stop US airpower from achieving air superiority in the first island chain, China's fighter fleet, bombers, and missiles are enough to cause problems. "their advanced long-range air-to-air missiles also present a tremendous threat.". Researchers have said that China could more easily devastate American airpower than the other way around. |
¡»¡»PBS, 2025-4-7 | Taiwan's financial systems, energy and communications are vulnerable to Chinese blockade and cyberattack, and critics worry Taiwan isn't doing enough to prepare for social and economic disruption. On paper, Taiwan's reserves appear large. But these men say military training is insufficient, Many young people today are reluctant to join the armed forces. There's also a general lack of awareness among civilians about the importance of national defense. |
¡»¡»Washington Post, 2025-3-21 | ¡§We are moving toward conflict escalation with China, that's for sure,¡¨ said a professor at National Chengchi University. |
¡»¡»Wall Street Journal, 2025-3-17 | Taiwan envisions Chinese assaults on the island to potentially come by land, sea, air and space as well as through cyberattacks, among others. China could launch a rapid invasion or blockade Taiwan to try to pressure it into submission. |
