Dr. Shen Ming-shih: Trump Emphasizes Confrontation with China and Analyzes the US-China Military Gap
Dr. Shen Ming-shih commented on China's dual aircraft carriers approaching the Second Island Chain, noting that the Chinese Navy's aircraft carriers are still significantly behind the US Navy in terms of long-range operational capabilities and power systems. He pointed out that their activities within the First Island Chain expose them to US military strikes.
Regarding Taiwan's defense strategy, Dr. Shen emphasized that this strategy is not without flaws, as long as Taiwan's will and determination to resist are strong enough, along with the rapid response of US and Japanese allies, they can effectively deter any Chinese invasion.
Additionally, after Trump targeted Iranian facilities, Dr. Shen believes this has two significant implications: Trump's reliability in keeping promises and the US's strategic focus shifting towards the Indo-Pacific region. For more details, please watch the full program report.
