Taiwan is raising the defense budget for 2023 by 13.9%, expanding mandatory military service from four months to a year, and buying from the United States advanced weapons systems. But it still has a long way to go before it can credibly deter China. https://t.co/NrY2BHSHwL — PolitiTweet.org

Taiwan and China are in a race to modernize their armed forces—and the better-funded PLA is winning. Taiwan will have to accelerate its buildup if it is to deter that threat—and the United States will have to mount its own buildup of forces in the Pacific. https://t.co/NrY2BHS9Hd — PolitiTweet.org
