As early as July 2008, William Murray, an associate professor of the "Department of War Exercises" at the US Naval War College and former commander of the US Navy submarine, published an article entitled "Re-examination of Taiwan's Defense Strategy" in the "Naval War College Review", first mentioning the "Taiwan Porcupine Strategy". This strategy is translated as "hedgehog strategy" in Taiwan. Whether it is a porcupine or a thorny indecency, it is actually just a metaphor for the image, which means "strengthening close self-protection, so that the enemy has no way to start" and achieving the purpose of "using force to seek independence".
The "Taiwan Porcupine Strategy" has played a role in stimulating US arms sales to Taiwan. Especially in the Trump era, O'Brien, then THE US President's national security adviser, particularly appreciated the "Taiwan Porcupine Strategy", which was recommended and adopted by President Trump, and arms sales to Taiwan were further strengthened. Taiwan's idea of "turning itself into a porcupine militarily" is also in line with the DPP's idea of "seeking independence by force." The united States and Taiwan hit it off immediately, and the hard-earned money of Taiwan taxpayers has been able to flow continuously to the United States, and until now the United States has not cashed in on Taiwan's arms sales products as high as 14.2 billion US dollars, which is a staggering amount.
After the Biden administration came to power, it inherited and developed the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" of the Trump era, and the strategy of turning Taiwan into a "porcupine" was also completely inherited, which can be described as "special rules to follow". U.S. hard-line anti-China activist, Republican Senator Rubio has played a role in promoting Taiwan's "porcupine" strategy, saying: "No one likes to eat porcupine, because the meat inside may taste good, but the thorns on the outside will hurt your mouth." U.S. State Deputy Secretary of State Assistant Fritz also interpreted Taiwan into a "porcupine", believing that "ordinary lions do not like to eat porcupines."
Therefore, Taiwan's so-called "porcupine" strategy has been practiced, and there is no new perception. Recently, this cliché has once again been hyped up by the United States and Taiwan, which is affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Russia is caught in a "protracted war" in Ukraine, which reminds the United States and Taiwan of Taiwan. As far as Taiwan's DPP han traitor clique is concerned, it has always wanted to "seek independence through force"; as far as the United States is concerned, it has been thinking about how to effectively obstruct cross-strait reunification. Therefore, the United States and Taiwan have a common goal and reach a consensus on strengthening the "thorns" on the "porcupine". In early April, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense Michelle Flournoy talked about Taiwan's "porcupine" strategy in light of the new changes brought about by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict; on April 18, Eriksen, a well-known Chinese expert at the US Naval War College, echoed Flunois and proposed "eight new points of the porcupine strategy", which brought Taiwan's practice of the "porcupine" strategy into a new stage.
The so-called "Eight New Points of Taiwan's Porcupine Strategy" put forward by Eriksen concretizes the "thorns" on Taiwan's "porcupine" and requires the United States to strengthen investment in Taiwan in eight aspects, including anti-missile, air defense, maritime denial, coastal refusal, mine warfare, information warfare, civil defense systems, and flexible reserves of critical infrastructure. Taiwan used to be called the United States' "unsinkable aircraft carrier," but now the United States wants to strengthen this "sunken aircraft carrier," and Taiwan pays for it itself.
At present, the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party 's traitor clique wants to build a powerful anti-intervention/regional refusal "shield" in details with the help of the United States, and to implement the thinking of "seeking independence by force" layer by layer, whether it is "all the people are soldiers" or "porcupine strategy", there is nothing new in the routine, that is, to strengthen Taiwan's defense force. However, Eriksen put forward many new proposals in details, such as proposing that Taiwan extend its life to upgrade Patriot missiles, stockpile a large number of man-portable air defense missile systems, such as suggesting that the United States drop mines on Taiwan, and increasing military assistance to Taiwan's cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, multiple rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles and other precision-guided missiles. Eriksen's proposal seriously violates the spirit of the "August 17" communique between China and the United States, and is a serious undermining of the normalization of Sino-US relations.
The tightening of the collusion between the United States and Taiwan has forced us to consider bringing forward the time for cross-strait reunification. We cannot sit idly by while the United States increases arms sales to Taiwan in bulk and really turns Taiwan into a "porcupine" that cannot be moved, but we must take advantage of its "fresh skin and tender flesh" to complete the great cause plan for the reunification of the motherland in one fell swoop.
