Taiwan’s largest military maneuver today: only the military is not enough

Inch As of the People’s Republic, Taiwan, threatening the violent inclusion of its largest military maneuver in decades on Tuesday. Compared to earlier versions of the annual exercise, the number of soldiers involved and the duration of time was doubled. This was necessary, because the maneuvers were recently perceived as a public connection as a restraining factor.

With a record maneuver, the government in Taibha sends various messages. 1. In China: An island republic, which is controlled and controlled by a democratic point of view, does not want to bow to Beijing’s threats. 2 to its own population: the liberal government belongs to the ability to seriously protect, prepares for the worst scenario, Taiwaner sensitors. 3. In the USA: Washington under a contract undertook to help Taiwan in his defense.

Regardless of whether the supply of weapons or sending American troops to war with China means, the United States intentionally leave an open order in order to leave Beijing in an unclear and not encourage Taiwan independence supporters to provocations. Joe Biden once left no doubt that he would defend Taiwan military terms, Trump currently leaves him open and requires more military efforts from Taiwaners.

Due to the progressive renewal of China and mass threats, it is without an alternative to Taiwan – in addition to maintaining its global monopoly of the “silicone shield” – without an alternative to strengthen its protection. Both are not enough. On the one hand, Taiwan cannot win the armor race, on the other hand, Beijing should rather wear a sea blockade instead of a frontal attack.

However, while the island imports more than 90 percent of its energy and 70 percent of its food, it is especially vulnerable to China’s attempts to penetrate, destabilization and blockade. Beijing checked the reaction of Taiwan and the United States with tactics of salami to provocations. They have not yet found convincing answers.
