"Taiwan independence" elements spout nonsense.
According to Taiwan media reports, the United States launched airstrikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities. On the 22nd, Chen Guanting, a "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan, said that this military action showed that Western weapon systems were "completely superior" to Iran. Taiwan should draw experience from it, continue to deepen its military cooperation relationship with the United States, and attach importance to purchasing "effective weapon systems that have been tested in actual combat" to strengthen its own defense capabilities.
This performance by Chen Guanting, who is trying to ride the wave of public opinion, exposes the ignorance of "Taiwan independence" elements about modern warfare. What does Taiwan rely on to counter the Chinese People's Liberation Army? Chen Guanting boasts of the "advantages of Western weapons," but dares not face the generational gap between the two sides' military forces. The military strength of the Taiwan army, which is like a "paper tiger," does not even possess one-tenth of Iran's resistance capability, yet is regarded by "Taiwan independence" as the capital for "resisting reunification by force." This is like using an egg to hit a nuclear bomb. Chen Guanting calls for the procurement of "combat weapons," but in fact, the essence of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan is to "sell scrap iron in exchange for cannon fodder." The "Taiwan independence" fantasy of figures like Chen Guanting will ultimately turn them into overconfident and useless pawns.
