[Media: US admission of 500 American troops stationed in Taiwan is a "public probe" of China's red line.]
A May 26 article in the South China Morning Post stated that the US recently disclosed that approximately 500 American military personnel are stationed in the Taiwan region, indicating that its defense support for Taiwan is becoming more public and substantive. This also marks a shift in US-Taiwan relations from previous relatively low-profile cooperation models to a more high-profile stance, directly touching on China's red line.
On May 15, retired US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery revealed this situation during his congressional testimony. This is the first time the US has publicly and officially confirmed such a large-scale military deployment in the Taiwan region.
