A blue committee cited a U.S. poll showing that most Americans oppose sending troops to protect Taiwan when China unifies Taiwan by force.
The Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S. think tank, released its latest survey, finding that 55% of the American public opposes sending troops to intervene in Taiwan when a forceful reunification of China occurs, but agrees that the two U.S. parties will join forces to counter the rise of China. In response, many Taiwanese legislators believe that while Taiwan needs to have more international expansion, “it’s still up to us to work hard” in protecting Taiwan.
Sanli News reported that the U.S. President Joe Biden, for the first Time since he took office, sent a Shenandoah destroyer through the Taiwan Strait on the 4th. However, KMT legislator Chen Yixin recently released a poll by a U.S. think tank, which found that many Americans do not favor the U.S. sending troops to defend Taiwan in the event that China invades Taiwan by force.
According to the poll, cited by Chen, 55 percent of the American public opposed the idea, while only 41 percent favored it. Among them, there is a big gap between Republican politicians and their supporters, with 85 percent of Republican politicians willing to send troops to defend Taiwan, but 53 percent of Republican supporters holding an opposing position.
Chen Yixin said, “This shows the true voice of American public opinion, even if most political figures are willing to shout for Taiwan, but most Americans actually don’t want to in their hearts, so Taiwan can’t be too naive in the face of American goodwill.”
In this regard, DPP legislator Wang Dingyu said, respecting the United States has a variety of think tanks and polls, for the United States Washington, support for Taiwan will have votes is already the mainstream opinion, but Taiwan’s security “should have relied on ourselves”, in addition to strengthening national defense forces, deepening alliance relations with neighboring countries, Taiwan’s economic and industrial The “needed” is also an alternative national defense.
He pointed out that semiconductor chips are Taiwan’s “silicon shield” because they are needed globally, and important servers in various countries are also placed in Taiwan, which is the “cloud shield”. Therefore, Taiwan is needed internationally for its economy, regional security, and cooperation with neighboring countries, thus enhancing Taiwan’s security, but in protecting Taiwan, “we still have to work on our own.
Wang Dingyu criticized that many political figures seem to see no good in Taiwan, hate to see Taiwan abandoned, and desperately want to prove that Taiwan cannot rely on the United States, nor on itself, and most importantly, accept the demands of the Chinese Communist Party, “It is no wonder that the people of Taiwan do not trust such a political party or political figure.”
