Trump unveils strategy to prevent China conflict over Taiwan
The strategy emphasizes preserving military overmatch and calls on allies like Japan and South Korea to increase defense spending to deter Chinese aggression near Taiwan.
- On Friday, the White House released a 29-page National Security Strategy dated November prioritizing deterring conflict over Taiwan by preserving military overmatch.
- Beijing's stance toward Taiwan and expansive maritime claims have intensified regional risk, as China views Taiwan as its own and asserts nearly all South China Sea claims, which neighbors dispute.
- The strategy presses allies to shoulder more defence spending and operational access, urging Japan and South Korea to boost defence and partners in the first island chain to grant the U.S. military greater access while strengthening naval capabilities.
- Reuters reported more than 100 vessels deployed by China, prompting Japanese Minister of Defense Shinjiro Koizumi to watch movements `with great attention` while President William Lai, Taiwan, ordered full military situational awareness.
- Public opinion data show broad bipartisan support for protecting Taiwan, with the National Security Strategy mentioning Taiwan eight times versus three in 2017, based on a survey of 2,507 respondents .
