[Reporter Xie Junlin/Report from Taipei] The British "Financial Times" disclosed that the US military delegation visited Taiwan late last year in a low-key manner to evaluate the three armed forces of my country's land, sea and air forces, and pointed out the problem of the Chinese military's "tactical skills but insufficient strategic thinking" .

In this regard, DPP legislator Wang Dingyu said that this means that the military cooperation between Taiwan and the United States is becoming more open and normalized; we are happy to see Taiwan and the United States fully cooperate. Regarding their suggestions, I believe that the Ministry of National Defense and national security units will carefully discuss and think about it .

Wang Dingyu pointed out that the disclosure of this information by the Financial Times has several special meanings.

Wang Dingyu said that in the past few years, the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan has also seen such actions. This time, they are more open. They also particularly affirm President Tsai Ing-wen's dedication to improving Taiwan's national defense capabilities during his term of office. and resources, which will be of substantial help to enhance Taiwan's national defense capabilities.

In addition, it is also assessed that Taiwan as a whole is tactically adequate to deal with the current threat, but its long-term strategic thinking is slightly insufficient. All parties have their own interpretations of this.

Wang Dingyu said that Taiwan is currently following the traditional way of combat preparation. For the current CCP’s invasion of the southwest airspace, military exercises around the island, and missile threats, Taiwan’s military is still capable of responding to the threat. deter.

Wang Dingyu explained that strike at the source is to build a long-range precision strike capability. For the Communist army to threaten Taiwan, whether it is the massing of materials or the threat to the frontline rear of all parties, it can make it retreat. The time and strategic space for Taiwan's response are important. Right way.

In addition, multiple layers of deterrence are to use layers of strike force to weaken China's military threat to Taiwan, and let Beijing understand that using force against Taiwan will pay a heavy price, and it may not win.

Wang Dingyu believes that although Taiwan's current strategic layout cannot be wrong, there are still shortcomings in the US assessment. For example, Taiwan's command system is still the same as in the past when building an army. Is it flatter and more dispersed?

In addition, in the face of China's massive investment in defense resources, huge sums of money in establishing amphibious landing and airborne capabilities, and its military threat continues to rise, how can Taiwan have new strategic thinking and cooperation methods to maintain its military advantages.

Wang Dingyu said that the above are the parts that the United States thinks are insufficient, so we are happy to see the normalization of Taiwan-US military cooperation and the United States' assessment of Taiwan. Regarding their suggestions, I believe that the Ministry of National Defense and national security units will carefully discuss and discuss them. think.

Wang Dingyu emphasized that it is our own responsibility to defend Taiwan, and the stability and peace of the Taiwan Strait can maintain Taiwan's democratic way of life, economic prosperity and prosperity, and the power of self-defense is the foundation of Taiwan's peace and prosperity. Compassion is not enough to be a soldier. It depends on the cooperation of oneself and international forces. Regarding the military assessment of Taiwan by the US military delegation, we are happy to see the full cooperation of Taiwan and the United States.
