35. Americans Want to Defend Taiwan. The Pentagon's Budget Should, Too
DefenseOne.com, Nov. 23 (1658) I Chet Lee
In recent polling, a greater share of the American public than ever supports using the U.S. military to defend Taiwan
from China's aggression. More Americans than ever believe Taiwan should become a treaty ally of the United States. But
more than ever, Americans also believe the U.S. military is incapable of matching up to China's People's Liberation Army.
This rising tide of public support for Taiwan presents an opportunity for lawmakers to close the gap between the U.S.
military budget and arsenal that we have to what is needed to balance and compete with that of China.
