According to the latest news from the Global Times, the "Taiwan military" recently revealed that the United States has agreed to sell additional "Stinger" missiles and "Haimas" multiple rocket launchers to the Taiwan region. In addition, before that, the United States had just put pressure on the Taiwan authorities to extend the service period of the "Taiwan military" and decided to sell Taiwan the M136 "volcano" minelaying system worth $180 million.

Taiwan media pointed out that judging from the scale of arms sales and weapons specifications of US arms sales to the Taiwan authorities, once there is a major change in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, the US side will "set up the battlefield on the main island of Taiwan."
In other words, with the manipulation of the US side and the cooperation of the Taiwan authorities, Taiwan Island may become a battlefield in the future, rushing to the front line of encircling the mainland. You know, in the middle of last year, then US House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi rushed to Taiwan, and in response, the PLA launched a "Taiwan-locking military exercise" that lasted for more than half a month, during which the powerful ability it showed shocked the Taiwan authorities and the United States and the West.

Since then, the frequency of PLA military aircraft circling Taiwan has surged, and the Taiwan authorities have become even more worried, and the United States has also become a little anxious. In order to increase the number of "Taiwan Army" reserves and have more time to train qualified soldiers, the US side asked the DPP authorities to extend the service time of the "Taiwan Army" from the original three months to one year.
However, despite the extended service time, the increase in the number of "Taiwan military" reserves, and the DPP authorities are constantly "catching strong soldiers" on the island to bolster themselves, what is lacking in modern warfare is not "cannon fodder," but military-technical personnel who can operate high-precision weapons.

Judging from the series of performances of the US side, the US side does not care how many "Taiwan troops" die, but only wants to arm Taiwan Island and "go head-to-head" with the mainland. As a result, the 23 million islanders were almost roasted by the United States on fire, becoming a "meat shield" used by the DPP authorities against the PLA.
In addition, judging from the specifications of US weapons sold to Taiwan, in fact, the purpose is not simple, 14 sets of "volcano" minelaying systems are vehicle-mounted mine-laying systems, used to blow up vehicles, but whether it is on the beach shore or town mobile mine-laying, the location is on the island.

The Stinger missile is a portable anti-aircraft missile and a sharp weapon for urban combat. The 29 sets of "Hymas" multiple launch rocket launchers are very effective as cross-zone reinforcements, which can be shelled on the island or placed on the shore of the beach to aid the outer islands.
It is worth mentioning that the method of laying landmines is very easy to accidentally injure the people, and once it covers a large area on the island, it is difficult to avoid causing innocent casualties, but the US side and the Taiwan authorities do not seem to consider this, but only blindly arm the "Taiwan army" and try to prevent cross-strait reunification by training the "Taiwan army" to fight street battles. In fact, the Taiwan authorities' approach has already met with opposition from a large number of people on the island, and the voice calling for peace on the island has become increasingly loud.

It is not difficult to see that the US side is only using the Taiwan authorities, not "helping and supporting" as it says. Once a conflict really breaks out between the two sides of the strait, the US side is likely to only supply weapons to the island while stirring up public opinion to fan the flames, for fear that the war will not burn strong enough. If you think about it, how familiar is this pattern? In order to safeguard its own hegemony and eliminate dissidents internationally, the United States ran to other people's doors to stir up right and wrong, instigated the Taiwan authorities to resist the Chinese mainland stubbornly, and waited to reap the benefits.
But it is such an old-fashioned trick, but the Tsai authorities are endless, and for their own selfish interests, they willingly serve as gunmen for the United States. In the end, it is the people on the island who suffer, and it is Taiwan itself that suffers.
