U.S. Wants to Turn Taiwan Into a Porcupine on Steroids

We forecast that just as Beijing has clamped down on Hong Kong protests and taken full control, so, too, it will take control of Taiwan when they are ready

Last October, we reported that it is the Biden administration’s goal to turn Taiwan into a “porcupine” so if China invades, it will be a bloody conflict that drains Chinese resources.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin addressed a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this month and said the U.S. will begin using the same drawdown authority that armed Ukraine to the teeth in its fight against Russia for Taiwan, so Taipei could stand up to a Chinese invasion. 

“The United States will soon provide significant additional security assistance to Taiwan,” Austin said.
