According to opinion polls published by the Taiwan media, the support rate of Lai Ching-te, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate who advocates "Taiwan independence," has dropped in recent times, and the support rate of Lai Ching-te and Kuomintang candidate Hou You-yi has begun to fall into the range of statistical error, and the possibility of Lai Ching-te winning by lying down no longer exists.
In order to ensure that the "Taiwan independence and pro-American" forces will remain in power in China's Taiwan region for a long time, the DPP's American father has taken action!
According to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao", the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), a subsidiary of the US Department of Defense, announced in a press release on its official website on Friday: The US State Department has approved a new arms sale to Taiwan, which will be used to maintain the command, control, communication and computer (C4) system life cycle of China's Xun'an system in Taiwan, including the previously purchased multi-functional MIDS-LVT terminal and Joint Tactical Intelligence Distribution System (JTIDS) equipment, which is expected to cost $300 million.
In connection with the implementation of this arms sale, 26 U.S. government personnel and 83 contractor representatives will be sent to Taiwan to provide engineering and technical assistance and evaluation.
The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency pointed out that this arms sale will promote U.S. foreign policy and national security goals by supporting China's Taiwan region to continue to modernize its military and maintain a credible defense capability, and will also help improve Taiwan's security and maintain regional political stability, military balance and economic progress, which is beneficial to U.S. national, economic and security interests.
The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the arms sale will enhance Taiwan's ability to face current and future threats by strengthening its operational readiness and the tactical information security exchange capabilities needed to maintain existing C4s and develop a common image of the battlefield.
In order to exert influence on the upcoming election of the leader of China's Taiwan region, there are two special aspects of the arms sales announced by the United States.
First, the timing of the announcement of the arms sales bill.
The Americans, of course, know how to influence elections in China's Taiwan region through arms sales.
If they want to be seen as outsiders by Taiwanese voters and neutral about China's Taiwan elections, the U.S. government may choose to announce the arms sale sooner or later. They deliberately chose to announce the case about a month before the election, making it clear that they wanted to express their support for "Lai Xiaopei".
Second, it has publicly stated that it will send government officials to the island to participate in the completion of this arms sale.
In a statement released on its official website, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency made it clear that 26 U.S. government personnel and 83 contractor representatives will come to Taiwan to provide engineering and technical assistance and evaluation.
In the past, during US arms sales to Taiwan, many staff members of US officials and contractors went to Taiwan to handle relevant technical matters, but US officials have always been secretive and have not publicly explained the relevant situation.
But this time it was different, they made it clear that there were US officials who landed on the island to participate in relevant affairs, frantically testing the mainland's red lines, and cheering for the DPP election.
Less than a month after the US President made it clear that he "does not support Taiwan independence," he immediately announced a new arms sale to Taiwan, and before that, he made it clear that he would send government personnel to assist in the implementation of this arms sale.
We should no longer spend energy discussing any topic about Taiwan with the Americans, resolutely advance preparations for military struggle, and firmly grasp the initiative to realize cross-strait reunification!
