Former president of #Taiwan #Tsai_Ing_wen emphasized the importance of the #US. support for #Ukraine, urging #Washington to prioritize helping #Kyiv despite the rising threat of a #Chinese invasion of #Taiwan.
"They should do whatever they can to help the #Ukrainians," she said during the #Halifax International Security Forum. "We [#Taiwan] still have time."
Ms. #Tsai added that #American support for #Ukraine would help deter #China from an attack.
Former Taiwanese President #Tsai #Ing-#wen emphasized the importance of U.S. support for Ukraine during the Halifax International Security Forum on Nov. 23,
🔥urging Washington to prioritize helping Kyiv despite the rising threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
"They should do whatever they can to help the Ukrainians," Tsai said, according to a Politico report.
♦️"We [Taiwan] still have time."
Tsai’s comments came after U.S. Indo-Pacific Command chief Adm. #Samuel #Paparo acknowledged that
⚠️aiding Ukraine has begun to strain the U.S. military’s capacity to prepare for potential conflict in Asia.
❌Paparo highlighted the depletion of critical weapon stockpiles, including Patriots and air-to-air missiles.
⭐️During her Halifax appearance, Tsai argued that Ukraine's success against Russian aggression would serve as a global deterrent.
"A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression," former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said during the Halifax International Security Forum on Nov. 23.
Taiwanese senior officials repeatedly questioned members of a visiting U.S. congressional delegation on what stalled aid to #Ukraine means for U.S. commitments to defend the island from potential #Chinese #aggression.
The Senate last week passed the national security supplemental — which includes $1.9 billion in U.S. funding to restock arms bound for #Taiwan — but House Speaker Mike #Johnson has vowed to block the bill unless it includes provisions to tighten border security.
Taiwan is extremely interested in Ukraine, and extremely worried that we might walk away from Ukraine,” Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), chair of the House Select Committee on China, told reporters on Friday at the end of a three-day Congressional Delegation to the self-governing island.
The issue of U.S. support for Ukraine came up repeatedly in meetings that Gallagher and CODEL members including committee ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) had with senior officials including Taiwan President #Tsai Ing-wen and President-elect #Lai Ching-te.
“They are watching the supplemental requests for Ukraine like hawks and they view Ukraine prevailing against the criminal invasion by Russia as incredibly important in sending a message to the Chinese Communist Party,” Krishnamoorthi said.
The potential for a Trump victory in the U.S. presidential election and the possibility that it might result in a change in traditional U.S. support for Taiwan is also worrying its leaders.
The CODEL tried to ease those fears by assuring their Taiwanese hosts of the strong bipartisan congressional support for the island.
