Comprehensive Taiwan media reported that on November 4, local time, the US Department of Defense released a report on China's military strength. In recent years, China has rapidly promoted military modernization, with the goal of having the ability to confront the US military in the Indo-Pacific region by 2027 to force the Taiwan authorities to negotiate. The report also claims that the US side will continue to sell arms to Taiwan, so that Taiwan can maintain the so-called "defense capability."
U.S. defense reports show
The mainland is ready to deal with emergencies in the Taiwan Strait
The report pointed out that in recent years, the so-called "political and military pressure" imposed on Taiwan by the Chinese mainland has intensified, and the People's Liberation Army has frequently conducted "island landing operation exercises" around the Taiwan Strait and has repeatedly sent military aircraft into Taiwan's so-called "air defense identification zone." All of the above shows that the Chinese mainland is preparing for possible contingencies in the Taiwan Strait, while deterring external forces that attempt to intervene in the Taiwan issue.
The United States predicts that the mainland target will be in 2027
Force Taiwan to accept the negotiations
The report emphasizes that the Chinese government has never promised to renounce the use of force against Taiwan, and that the PLA continues to promote military modernization with the goal of having the ability to confront the U.S. military in the Indo-Pacific region by 2027 and forcing the Taiwan authorities to negotiate.
The US side reiterated that it will continue to sell arms to Taiwan
to maintain so-called "defense capabilities"
The report repeats the same tune, saying that the United States will scrupulously abide by the one-China policy guided by the three Sino-US joint communiques and the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and strive to deepen the so-called "relations" with Taiwan. The US side will continue to sell arms to Taiwan so that Taiwan can maintain its so-called "sufficient defensive capability," oppose any so-called "coercion of force" that endangers Taiwan's security, and support the "peaceful settlement" of the Taiwan issue in a manner that "conforms to the wishes of the Taiwan people."
