The U.S. Appropriations Committee has allocated 1.15 billion U.S. dollars to assist Taiwan's defense!
On January 21, the Taipei United Daily News reported: "The U.S. House Appropriations Committee announced an 839.2 billion U.S. dollar defense appropriation bill. At the request of Trump, 1.15 billion U.S. dollars were allocated to assist Taiwan's defense, with 1 billion U.S. dollars designated for the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative and 150 million U.S. dollars to replace defense supplies to Taiwan. This 1 billion U.S. dollars can be used until September 2027, covering Taiwan arms purchases, military training, etc., and U.S. relevant department heads need to report on the use of funds quarterly."
[Cunning] The U.S. allocates 1.15 billion U.S. dollars to help Taiwan, but it is merely a renewed version of the old trick of using Taiwan to contain China! Since 1979, the U.S. has repeatedly violated the bottom line of Sino-U.S. communiqués by selling weapons to Taiwan. Now, by setting up a special budget to increase funding, it is essentially using Taiwan as a tool to contain China and a means to make money. The authorities in Taiwan rely on the U.S. to act recklessly, spending the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people to buy American weapons, not realizing that this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. The foundation of peace across the Taiwan Strait is the One-China Principle. The U.S. stokes tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and the Kuomintang authorities seek independence through military means; in the end, they cannot resist the historical trend of national reunification, and will only accelerate their own defeat!
