Taiwan Lawmakers Brawl Over Controversial Bills |
|
| ◆ Bloomberg, 2024-12-20 | A new wave of political wrangling between Taiwan's ruling and opposition parties that has involved street protests and lawmakers tussling adds to questions about President Lai Ching-te's ability to govern one of the world's most dangerous geopolitical hotspots. |
| ◆ Newsweek, AP News, France24 2024-12-20 | The dispute centers on three bills pushed by the Nationalist Party (KMT, the opposition), including one to redistribute tax revenues, allocating a greater share to local governments; another one to raise the threshold for removing elected officials. A DPP leader said that the party's actions were extreme but that it had no other options. KMT said it would prevent the power of recalls from "being abused" but some DPP lawmakers said they fear the move would revoke rights to remove unfit officials. |

about China's ability to invade Taiwan |
|
| ◆ USNI News, 2024-12-19 | The Pentagon's report recognizes that China has “both the will and capability to alter the international order in its favor”; but Xi Jinping's goal of having his military ready to carry out a “short, sharp invasion” of Taiwan by 2027 “is not possible right now”; the force has not yet demonstrated the type and scale of sophisticated urban warfare or long-distance logistic capabilities that would likely be required for operations against Taiwan or major contingencies overseas”. |
| ◆ Financial Times, 2024-12-13 | US nuclear build-up would not help deter China from using atomic weapons in Taiwan, war game finds; Unclassified exercise by CSIS and MIT suggests Washington should not go beyond current modernisation plans... only five of 15 iterations of the nuclear game ended with a withdrawal of the PLA. |
| ◆ Economist, 2024-12-5 |
American military officials have
long worried about a “window of vulnerability” before new weapons enter
into service in the 2030s. But
corruption in the PLA is changing the calculations of analysts;
China's economic woes and social
discontent mean that Mr Xi is turning inward. The views (the period of greatest danger has probably been pushed out for several years) are not universally shared, in or out of government. “Xi has his foot firmly on the accelerator and a full tank of gas". |
| ◆ Breaking Defense, 2024-12-6 |
The head of the Defense
Intelligence Agency: China did
appear to be on track to meet Xi's 2027 preparedness goal. House intel's Himes: You could implement a blockade. You know, what? If you invade Taiwan, what happens? A. You may lose. B. You may reduce the place to smoking rubble, what have you really achieved economically? |
| ◆ Newsweek, 2024-11-20 | U.S. Pacific Commander Samuel Paparo: a cross-strait invasion executed by the Chinese military would be "exceedingly difficult" given the advantages of the U.S. and allies. |
| ◆ Washington Examiner, 2024-12-4 |
Chinese leaders have said
they want their military to be prepared to invade Taiwan by 2027, though
U.S. defense leaders have said the date does not guarantee a decision to
carry out such an operation has been made.
War with China would exhaust munition stockpiles "very rapidly", national security adviser J. Sullivan acknowledged that China has "the single biggest advantage", "God forbid we end up in a full-scale war with the PRC" . |

China's largest deployment around Taiwan since 1996 |
|
| ◆ Fox News, 2024-12-10 | After Taiwanese president visits Hawaii and Guam, Chinese military makes massive deployment around Taiwan to send 'very simple' message: "The Taiwan Strait is ours"; Taiwan defense officials are raising concerns ..., saying the build-up could eventually lead to war as tensions continue to rise in the area. |
| ◆ Financial Times, 2024-12-15 |
Big Chinese naval exercise
to
"punish" its
president, Lai Ching-te, for a trip abroad (included
U.S.)
leaves Taiwan and US struggling
for response. Taiwan: the manoeuvres involved all three of the PLA's coastal theatre commands for the first time, a demonstration that they can lock down the First Island Chain. The US: Taiwan may have become overly alarmed ... was trying to “wake up the public". A senior Japanese official: “China has crossed some new line in every of their past exercises”; now they can do manoeuvres of this size without announcement. |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-12-10 | Taiwan says China has deployed largest fleet of ships in decades, which could block American allies in the region from coming to Taiwan's defense. Speculation had been growing for days that China would launch war games in retaliation for visits made by Lai Ching-te to Hawaii and Guam last week; The surge in Chinese ships could also be a signal to the incoming Trump administration, which has yet to indicate how it will deal with Taiwan. |
| ◆ AFP, 2024-12-11 | Taiwan security official : the sea drills were "significantly larger" than Beijing's maritime response to then-US House speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei in 2022, which was China's largest-ever war games around Taiwan. China's massive maritime operation began in October were aimed at demonstrating that Beijing could choke off Taiwan and also to "draw a red line" ahead of the next US administration. |
| ◆ EuroNews, 2024-12-11 |
Expert:
"They were practicing to seal off Taiwan” , referring to a scenario
whereby the Chinese coast guard ships could block Taiwan's ports while
the navy would form an outer barrier at sea. Asked whether he would commit to defending Taiwan against potential Chinese aggression, Trump told NBC “I never say, because I have to negotiate things, right?" “We talked about other things” ,“But I have a very good relationship, and I hope he doesn't do it" |
| ◆ Reuters, 2024-12-11 | China says it takes 'necessary measures' to defend sovereignty over Taiwan |

Taiwan Prepares for Trump's Return. |
|
| ◆ CNN, 2024-12-15 | one thing's for sure: Trump is a less vocal supporter of Taiwan than Joe Biden. That's why Taiwan is buckling up for what could be a far more volatile relationship with Washington. Trump's remarks have prompted jitters that Taiwan would need to move more of its critical chip supply chain to the US at a faster pace, that could affect the island's economic security and dismantle the very “silicon shield” ... |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-11-24 | Taiwan is ready to defend democracy. Is Trump? Maybe he will strike some sort of bargain with Taiwan. But whatever Taiwan can offer him, Beijing can easily top. More and more, there are those in Taiwan who say we are an “abandoned chess piece,” no longer valued by the United States. China amplifies these fears... |
| ◆ Wall Street Journal, 2024-11-18 |
Some in Taiwan say its survival as a self-ruled democracy is
at stake, that it
can't afford to spend what Trump demands on defense and that it would wither in
the crossfire of a U.S.-China trade war. Taiwan's military spending is currently at 2.45% of GDP—a lower share than Singapore's 2.8% and South Korea's 2.7%; In Washington, the percent of GDP is really seen as a proxy for your seriousness. |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-11-10 | Taiwan's leading chip makers may face demands from the Trump administration to locate more production in the United States. Taiwan has already been raising its military spending, partly under pressure from Washington. But Mr. Trump has said that Taiwan should raise military spending to 10 percent of its gross domestic product (from about 2.6 percent). Sharply increasing military spending could be politically difficult for Taiwan's president. Beijing, for its part, appears poised to exploit any signs of discord between Washington and Taipei. |
| ◆ Fox News, 2024-11-10 | Trump's public comments might suggest that he would not be willing to put boots on the ground to face another global superpower in defense of a tiny island democracy (Taiwan). there is hope among restraint groups that Trump will be focused on economic warfare with China – rather than military. "We don't have that alliance with Taiwan, ... the Taiwan issue is a powder keg — it's exceedingly dangerous. " |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-11-6 | Some diplomats in Asia expect China to intensify pressure on Taiwan, if not invade the self-governing island it claims as its territory; and China may calculate that Mr. Trump would not go to war for a democracy that he has accused of “stealing” the microchip industry from the United States. “With Donald Trump, there are large amounts of uncertainty,” said Lev Nachman, a political scientist, “And it's a matter of uncertainty that comes with great risk for Taiwan.” |
| ◆ Washington Post, 2024-11-6 | Trump's statements this year that raise doubt about his willingness to come to the island democracy's defense and his misleading assertion that Taipei needs to pay the US for defense. Such rhetoric could “fan the flames of skepticism” about American intent at a time when the Taiwanese are “directly threatened by CCP disinformation aimed at undermining U.S. credibility” |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-11-6 news briefing |
Many
believe Trump's
foreign policy changes could have a greater impact than anything since
the start of the Cold War. Trump could decide to do the true “America First” thing and withdraw completely, and basically say, "defending Taiwan is not in our interest.” But I doubt he's going to actually do that... |
| ◆ Business Insider, 2024-11-9 | In 2025, Taiwan will have to contend with uncertainty on whether the US will protect it, or play it. |
| ◆ Bloomberg, 2024-11-5 | Taiwan's Economic Affairs Minister acknowledged that Trump could introduce measures that might prove harmful for Taiwan's semiconductor industry. But the impact will not be as severe as some anticipate. |
| ◆ Reuters, 2024-11-6 | From Taiwan to trade, China braces for more rivalry as close US presidential race ends. Trump might try to use the Taiwan issue as a bargaining chip to gain leverage in other areas, such as offering to restrain Taiwan's provocative actions in exchange for Beijing's compromise on trade. |
|
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. |

Taiwan's pres. Lai flies to US, angering China |
|
| ◆ AP, Washington Post, 2024-12-4 | Taiwanese President Lai reportedly has phone talks from Guam with US Congress leaders; their talks seemed designed to underscore the bipartisan support for Taiwan in the U.S. Congress. |
| ◆ Wall Street Journal, 2024-12-2 | Trump has publicly called for Taiwan to spend more to defend itself and has accused Taiwan's world-class chip makers of stealing American jobs. In a closed-door speech delivered in English, Lai appeared to address some of those criticisms, outlining plans to bolster the country's self-defense. Lai promised deepening cooperation with the U.S. in the semiconductor industry. |
| ◆ New York Times, 2024-11-30 | Taiwan's government tries to fathom what changes President-elect Donald J. Trump will bring to U.S. dealings with Taiwan。In uncertain times, Taiwan needs every edge of international advantage that it can get. Taiwanese leaders have used their brief stops to promote stronger ties with the United States; This time, Mr. Lai will not set foot in the continental United States, reducing opportunities for high-profile meetings. |
| ◆ Wall Street Journal, 2024-12-1 |
Taiwan's President begins Hawaii
stopover
and sends a firm but conciliatory
message to both China and the incoming Trump administration: While
Taipei doesn't seek a war with Beijing, it is
counting on U.S. support to deter any aggression from its larger
neighbor.
"Transits" are part of careful arrangements made between Washington and
Taipei to allow its leaders to engage with each other on American soil
after the two severed formal diplomatic ties in 1979. |
| ◆ CNN, 2024-12-1 | Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te in Hawaii: A stopover that speaks volumes. |
| ◆ BBC, 2024-12-1 | The trip is amid long-running tensions between the US and China and growing concerns about the possibility of conflict over Taiwan |
| ◆ CNN, 2024-11-30 | Chinese government labeled Lai's visit as "a provocative act", and could respond by staging a fresh round of military drills near the island democracy. China hopes to create an incident during the transition period in the United States to create pressure on the incoming Trump team by drawing a red line. |
| ◆ AFP (France), 2024-11-30 | President Lai Ching-te's trip has ignited fiery threats from Beijing. Bonnie Glaser: Lai's tour of the Pacific was an opportunity for him "to show those countries and the world that Taiwan matters". China always wants to leave the impression that Taiwan is isolated and it is dependent on the PRC. |
| ◆ Deutsche Welle (Germany), 2024-11-30 | China has slammed the trip as a step toward independence from Beijing, and described Lai's planned stopover in the US territory of Guam as "separatist actions." |
◆ Brookings, 2024-11-22: To many in Beijing, Taiwan's leaders are testing the boundaries of China's tolerance by incrementally advancing efforts to permanently separate Taiwan from China. American officials generally do not judge that Taiwan President Lai Ching-te has taken steps to undermine peace and stability. ◆ Daily Mail (UK) , 2024-11-23: In a war simulation by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)showed devastating costs for all involved. The grim war simulations come at a time of political upheaval, with Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te taking a tougher line with China.
◆ New York 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” . |
| ◆◆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. |

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.

| ◆ Foundation of Defense of Democracies, 2024-10-4 | the “most likely” scenario: Sometime in the next decade, China will combine economic coercion, malicious cyber activity, and limited military moves short of kinetic attacks to break Taiwan's societal and/or economic resilience and force a major adjustment in its policy toward unification. fdd.org/analysis/2024/10/04/targeting-taiwan/ |
| ◆ 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. |

Taiwan most fears—an amphibious invasion—is currently
beyond the PLA's
