US Representatives conducted a war game that simulated a Chinese invasion of
Taiwan, with results showing that the US must arm the island and boost
production of long-range missiles.
The US must clear a US$19 billion weapons backlog to Taiwan, conduct enhanced
joint military training, and reinforce the US military in the region.
The war game's conclusions included high US losses if Washington did not
shore up basing agreements with regional allies, rapid depletion of long-range
missile stockpiles, and world markets in "absolute tatters".
China has never renounced the use of
force to bring Taiwan under its control, and the US is Taiwan's most important
arms supplier, but the island has complained of delayed weapons deliveries. |
