is highly regarded by public opinion on the island. The first "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Forum" appeared on Kaohsiung yesterday (5.10). This is the first time that US-Taiwan defense manufacturers have public exchanges in Taiwan, affecting the sensitive nerves of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although it is known as "civil exchange", the island also has the participation of Taiwan's "Economic Minister" Shen Rongjin, former "Defense Minister" Yang Nianzu and senior authorities of the US Chamber of Commerce Han Rubo. The US side is the former commander of the US Army Pacific Command, Wilsinsky, who is most attracted by it.

Lockheed Martin, , Thor, Cube and other major American arms dealers, , who have shown few appearances, have come one after another, just to take a fancy to Tsai Ing-wen's "unity alliance with the United States to resist the mainland" and grab the "national defense" policy of being the sucker, and to slaughter it hard, and strive to share the "arms cake" of 600 billion yuan (NT$).

The entire forum is similar to a "performance of Western arms dealers rushing to collect protection fees and helping 'Taiwan independence' to be brave."

And the person who "induces wolves into Taiwan" and "dances with wolves" is this - Han Bixiang, chairman of Taiwan CITIC Shipbuilding. It is him who led to this so-called "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Forum" .
"Anti-arms purchase, people's livelihood"
"No amount of arms will only destroy Taiwan"
"American shells, please get out"...
In response to the US-Taiwan Defense Forum, Taiwan's newly established political party "Left-wing Alliance" and unification groups gathered off the court on the 10th to protest, criticizing the United States for exploiting Taiwan through arms dealers, accusing the "Taiwan independence" forces of playing with fire, and asking for "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to get out of Taiwan, and demanding that "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait be one family, peace and security are guaranteed."
Convener of the protest and vice chairman of the Workers' Party of Taiwan Wang Juanping asked the Taiwan authorities, "Why do you want to cut the pension for military and public education? You want to cut the pension for labor. Isn't it better to leave the 600 billion (defense) pie for these elderly people? In terms of education, some schools have to leave, and students have no school to study. Isn't it good to use the money for education funds?" Wang Juanping said that under the principle of one China, the two sides can sit down and talk to talk about peace. Now the Taiwan authorities are trying to engage in military confrontation with the mainland by buying arms, which does not help cross-strait relations at all. It is impossible to "Taiwan independence" and will only cause disasters to the people of Taiwan.

Founded in May this year, Lin Shenjing, a spokesperson for the "Left Alliance" event of the new leftist party called for the working class, said that the military purchase budget of this meeting was conservatively estimated to be NT$600 billion, which was already exceeding Chen Shui-bian's special budget at that time. It was simply to use the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people and conduct "gang transactions" with the United States. He angrily accused the Tsai Ing-wen administration of buying weapons from foreigners, which was too generous and too arrogant. He said "We are absolutely unwilling to use foreign underworlds from the United States to exploit Taiwanese hard-earned money, and give it to Americans as protection fees."

is a member of the Kuomintang city council in Kaohsiung. former chairman of the Kuomintang Hung Hsiu-chu said in an interview with a special correspondent in Kaohsiung today's Straits, . Seeing so many arms dealers come to grab big cakes, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Today's era should not be handled in such a way as weapons and arms. Moreover, Taiwan does not have the ability and capital to have an arms race. Taiwan's defense budget depends on cross-strait relations. If cross-strait relations are harmonious, it can save a large amount of budget. She bluntly said that , in the name of "US-Taiwan Defense", the so-called "Taiwan independence" reality is probably the main purpose of the DPP.
Is it safe to hug the American thigh? "Alliance between the United States and the Mainland" to engage in independence? This idea is not only ridiculous, but also quite dangerous!
Taiwan current affairs commentator Lee Kongzhi said when he was visiting the Taipei studio of "Today's Strait" that the Tsai Ing-wen administration took advantage of the "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Forum" to enhance the so-called US-Taiwan Alliance. In the sensitive period when the Sino-US trade war has not yet ended, the "Taiwan Travel Law" has just been passed, and the new location of the US in Taiwan Association was opened in June, etc., the DPP authorities took the initiative to request the convening of the "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Forum" to give the outside world a lot of imagination. constantly provokes the most sensitive nerves of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which will inevitably cause harm to cross-strait relations. Taiwan's willingness to be a piece of American chess piece actually exposed its biggest danger. because Taiwan can never become a bargaining chip for US-China relations, but it is just a piece of American chess piece. This piece is thrown away without any need. If Taiwan does not understand this truth, the future development will be very dangerous.
Taiwan's China Times said on the 10th that the United States only has eternal interests and no eternal friends. At present, Northeast Asia has revealed a dawn of peace, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait is relatively dangerous, becoming a gunpowder depot. Faced with the current situation, the DPP government needs to change its mind and think. In addition to seeking a way to reconcile with the other side, it must also be cautious and not be a leader to avoid becoming a pawn for a great power to fight.
The United States not only beats Taiwan’s quarrel, but also regards Taiwan as a stumbling block and pawn to curb the development of the mainland, and is willing to be a pawn in the United States. If the Tsai administration attempts to develop and establish a military industry dependent on the United States through military purchases against the United States and engage in a military confrontation with the mainland, the consequences will be very dangerous. "The deeper the link between Taiwan and the United States, the stronger the mainland's position" , Taiwan's "Central Daily" online newspaper warned the Taiwan authorities that the United States regards Taiwan as a bargaining chip, and as long as it is beneficial to the United States, it can sacrifice Taiwan's interests at any time; while the mainland regards Taiwan as a core interest, and under no circumstances will the mainland compromise on this. Is the DPP authorities still not clear about such simple and obvious truths and international reality?
And just today (5.11), the Air Force spokesperson just announced at an airport in South China: The Air Force organized a coordinated operation of the Eastern and Southern Theater Command Air Forces on the 11th to dispatch bombers and reconnaissance aircraft to cruise around the Taiwan Island in both directions. The Su-35 fighter jet flew across the Bashi Channel with the H-6K fighter jet for the first time, achieving a new breakthrough in the island cruise mode, demonstrating a new improvement in the combat capabilities of the air force system. Air Force spokesperson Colonel Shen Jinke said that commanders and fighters at all levels of the Air Force keep in mind the mission and tasks of the new era, improve their ability to win in the new era, and defend the air and space security in the new era. The Air Force must also continue to organize multiple fighter jets to cruise around the Taiwan Island in accordance with the established plan. The Air Force has firm will, full confidence and sufficient ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
