- The top U.S. admiral in the Pacific, Samuel Paparo, told the Washington Post that if Beijing invades Taiwan, the United States will unleash an unmanned “hellscape” in the Taiwan Strait with an army of drones. He says the plan is designed to distract China and buy the U.S. time to respond. U.S. President Joe Biden also reiterated commitments to Taiwan's defense in an interview with Time magazine. It's the 5th time that he has said the U.S. would help to defend Taiwan in the event that China attacks. What is the U.S.’ role in Taiwan's defense?

For those in Taiwan banking on the U S A, ask why did they run away from Afghanistan Vietnam Cambodia Laos, do you think they don't die from wars, they do that's why they keep running from wars.
The difference is that Taiwan is essential to the American economy. The countries you mentioned had no impact on American prosperity. The USA will always fight for money.
@@elefnishikot In Reality , No Taiwan Is Not essential to the 🇺🇸 economy in the Long Game. Do People really believe the 🇺🇸would allow someone(ROC) that type of strategic leverage over them…
YES it’s a fact the ROC 🇹🇼 is the world’s leader in chip manufacturing by a large margin…but They(TSMC) Do Not design the chips they manufacture. Like SAMSUNG or INTEL. Not mention SAMSUNG is expanding, building more Fabs as well as INTEL.
The point being the 🇺🇸 has other options just like when the EU🇪🇺 cut ties on RUSSIAN 🇷🇺 Gas. The 🇺🇸 might take a hit but it would only be very short term.
Those Wars(countries) Did have an impact on the 🇺🇸 in Blood , Treasure and Defeat. That took years to recover from and still are.
No , Us 🇺🇸 only fights for its self interest.
People have very very short term memory and seem to forget that the Us 🇺🇸 is reason why the ROC(Taiwan)🇹🇼 Lost its seat at the UN 🇺🇳 and it’s permanent seat on the Security Council 🇺🇳
The US didn’t run away from Afghanistan. They signed the Doha agreement. The US signed the 1973 Paris Peace accords with North Vietnam. I believe North Vietnam betrayed that agreement with South Vietnam and then in turn was attacked by China.
The United States didn't run away from any war. When was the Last war China fought and won? China hasn't tested their tofu weapons which are as good as their tofu buildings and bridges.

PRC fought US in Korea in 1950s. It fought India in 1962. It fought Soviet at border in 1969. It fought Vietnam army at its peak in 1979. After PRC fought with all the most powerful neighbors + USA, no one dare to test PRC again.
Another interesting fact is that PRC did not fight any war with its other weaker land neighbors and settled the border peacefully with all of them.
I dont think so, just look at Afghanistan and Ukraine when will you learn?
Afghanistan are peaceful now and ukraine received lots weapon on US and Allies
Oh yes, us is turning tw to hellground
Taiwan is not the island of the USA
Taiwan has it's own admin & jurisdiction separated from Beijing...
Taiwan has always been an Independent Country.
China is not invading Taiwan Taiwan is China’s territory China has the sole absolute right to defend and exercise its sovereignty over Taiwan it is not the business to get involved in the internal affairs of China
Taiwan is the original Democratic China that fled the Mainland & have established their own independent governance separated from Beijing...
Taiwan has always been an Independent country…😂
If Taiwan is part of communist China then North Korea must be part of South Korea right ??
@@toppy_ctpyes just like south and North Koreas
🤡
Chinese do not attack chinese
Like North Vietnam after they won the war and didn't do what China wanted, THEY ATACKED, 🎉🎉🎉
Taiwan and Penghu are leftover issues from World War II. See Treaty of San Francisco.
At the time, the U.S. government helped the Chinese Nationalist Party (Republic of China), which had been defeated in the Chinese Civil War, escape to Taiwan, which was then a Japanese colony. Look at Formosa betrayed. Formosa is the original name of Taiwan.
After the Chinese Kuomintang came to Taiwan, it still maintained dictatorial rule, but moved towards democracy under pressure from the United States, and the Taiwanese entered the Republic of China to fight for their rights.
The Chinese who lost their privileges in Taiwan united with the People's Republic of China to steal Taiwan and Penghu.
Americans might be hesitant, they tried to help south veitnam and got hammered for it even a assassination, and then they with draw like Afghanistan, Taiwan should not rely on the USA, they have to be strong enough themselves, wishing them all the best, God bless and protect them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂during the Vietnam War. USA was not defeated by Vietnam.
They are defeated by American people for non stop protest in Street and Congress to stop the War watch and read a true documentary not on vlogger docu. hahahaha
US will honor it's defense treaty with Taiwan (The TRA signed & approved by US Congress dated July 1979). Seeking mutual benefit & regional security with Allies is a matter of integrity & dignity.
Ok , Just remember this , that the Us 🇺🇸 is reason WHY the ROC(Taiwan) 🇹🇼 LOST It’s seat at the UN 🇺🇳 and it’s permanent seat on the Security Council 🇺🇳. The Us 🇺🇸can change it’s mind on a whim. The “TRA” is Not a defense Treaty by any means.
Do you mean that US actually lost all its integrity, dignity etc. when it broke that defense treaty with ROC in 1980 after US established diplomatic relationship with PRC?
@@qingzhou9983 Establishing diplomatic relations with the ROC doesn't have to mean helping China in the invasion of Taiwan. What do u think Commie Boy?
Xi has a black heart.
jesus loves xi
@@paulzhang1310 no no Jesus love you
@@lorjin007 he loves xi more
Taiwan has always been an Independent Country…😂
I am pretty sure you know no history. Before WW II, Taiwan was ruled by Japan AND was give to Japan by Qing Dynasty as compensation because Japan defeated it.
@@qingzhou9983whatever!!! It should stay an independent country…that’s what Taiwanese wants!!🙄
@@toppy_ctp
You are assuming in an independent movement only local people decides the outcome. This has never been true in Human History.
@@qingzhou9983 And it’s never been true that 1.4B mainland chinese supports your China CCP…the way we see it…it’s not the case now…Again Taiwan is an Independent Country and No amount of threat, bullying & harassment from China CCP can make them lose that right!!!all your surrounding nations and US will gang up against China CCP and you will not like the result of it…🙄💩🙄💩🙄

US is not helpful to interfere in China’s interior affairs and violate its One China Policy agreement while ignoring the needs of Americans at home.
The U.S. can do whatever is necessary to defend Taiwan.
You mean like in Ukraine or Korean or Vietnam?
@@qingzhou9983 Of course a Commie would always support a Commie even if Communist Korea or Vietnam invades Democratic neighbors.....
@@qingzhou9983 doesn't matter where unleash hell
Of the USA
Silly discussion.
PLA always plans US military involvement if it unifies Taiwan with force. And if US really increases its capability, like double its military budget to build a much stringer Navy and Air-Force, PRC will match it easily with its own arm-building (PRC currently only spend 1.5% of its GDP on army vs US's 3.7%).
The only questions about Taiwan is: whether it becomes Macau, Hong Kong, Ukraine or South Vietnam.
Of course u are in favor for Taiwan to surrender it's freedom & that the mainlanders would take every resources in Taiwan as their loot....
It is not only about budget, but about law and democratic principles. It would be about China vs US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, India, EU, Canada, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and most the rest of the world. If China is good in mathematics, it knows too how to evaluate both sides of the equation equation.
@@tubefm01
I am afraid you are looking at the Wrong Math.
First You need to study why US lost Vietnam War and why PLA drove back US Army in Korean War.
Second, all the world navies, except US, add together is No Match to PRC around Taiwan Straight.
Even US Navy is no Match to China's Navy + land-based missiles and air-force near Taiwan.
Dream on 😂
@@qingzhou9983 Well, let your paper tiger try to invade Taiwan. Did you know a battalion of Filipino soldiers repelled attacking 40,000 Chinese communist forces in Battle of Yultong during Korean war? Read Battle of Yultong in Wikipedia.
Asean NATO
so very true,,, we hope,start negotiations soon
Also indonesia we can send help to taiwan❤
Taiwan is a sovereign nation and the US has no mutual defense clause with Taiwan. They should invest heavily in their defense now and/or form a mutual defense alliance with countries from ASEAN.
TAIWAN IS NOT CHINA. Japan surrendered Taiwan and other territories to the US led Allied Forces in 1945. ROC accepted the surrender on behalf of the US. Taiwan is under US custody until its status is finalised. PRC/mainland China was never in the picture and has no claim over it. So, the best people to decide Taiwan's future are the Taiwanese.
