Former President of Taiwan Tsai: Ukraine needs weapons from US more than Taipei
Former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen believes that in the near future, the United States should give preference to helping Ukraine with weapons rather than Taiwan.
She said this while speaking at the International Security Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Censor.NET reports citing European Pravda.
Tsai Ing-wen emphasized that "the United States should do everything possible to help Ukrainians." "We (Taiwan) still have time," she said.
"Ukraine's victory will be the most effective deterrent to future aggression," the former Taiwanese president said, implying that the US military support for Kyiv will help deter China from attacking Taiwan.
China regards Taiwan as its own territory, and there are fears that it will try to regain control of the island by force. The United States is Taiwan's most important international supporter and arms supplier, despite the lack of official diplomatic recognition.
Recently, the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Paparo, acknowledged that assistance to Ukraine and Israel has begun to strain the U.S. military's ability to prepare for a potential conflict in Asia.
