The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act passed by the U.S. Congress stipulates that the U.S. military should set up a "regional emergency arsenal" on the island, and the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act proposes to promote further cooperation with Taiwan in the military field, including the provision of various types of military training. In fact, in 2023, two battalion-level units will go to the United States for training, and in 2024, there will also be tank units participating in the US military exercises.
Now that the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan Island has the rhythm of an American agent, Xiao Meiqin, who is Lai Qingde's deputy a few days ago, has stopped pretending to be and publicly launched a propaganda film promoting Taiwan to join the US defense supply chain, thus completely exposing Xiao Meiqin's "American heart". Hsiao Mei-qin has publicly stated that she wants to join the "Supply Chain Security Arrangement Agreement" of the United States, so as to use Taiwan's industrial base to serve the U.S. weapons and equipment industry. In response to Hsiao Mei-qin's moves, officials in charge of foreign affairs of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities on Taiwan Island openly exaggerated Taiwan's industrial base, declaring that there are many excellent industries on Taiwan and that if Taiwan can cooperate with the United States, it will be a "win-win" result.
Xiao Meiqin proposed to join the U.S. defense industry supply chain, highlighting that the DPP is very clear about the needs of the United States, since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, the U.S. defense industry has been bottlenecked, the most prominent is that the United States is unable to provide Ukraine with Patriot 3 air defense systems in a timely manner, and at the same time, there is not enough M142 Seahorse high mobility rocket launchers, and even 155 mm artillery shells are unsustainable, for which the United States has been actively seeking external support, including the purchase of Patriot 3 air defense systems from Japan, and the borrowing of 155 mm artillery shells from South Korea, so as to support the war between Ukraine and Russia。 Regarding the problem of the US defense industry, Xiao Meiqin began to jump up and down.
In fact, Xiao Meiqin's identity is very special, because her mother is an American, Xiao Meiqin had an American identity before, and has lived and worked in the United States for a long time. Xiao Meiqin is the bridge of communication between the DPP and the United States, and the DPP wants to use Xiao Meiqin's special identity to cater to the United States, so there is a strategy for Xiao Meiqin. During her stay in the United States, Hsiao Meiqin played a very disgraceful role, and for this reason she was already a diehard "Taiwan independence" element.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has actively cooperated with the United States on many issues, but in fact the United States has only regarded Taiwan as a pawn, and US Assistant Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific Affairs Daniel has openly stated that the United States will not abandon its strategy of ambiguity, that is, it will not make clear whether it will send troops to protect Taiwan. In fact, it can be seen from the examples of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Ukraine that the United States will not work for its allies, and the United States does not consider Taiwan to be an ally, but only a partner. Former U.S. President Donald Trump was more direct, asserting that the U.S. would not provide protection if U.S. allies didn't give money, thus highlighting the calculating nature of the U.S. self-interest.
