According to a recent report by Intelligence Online, Taiwan’s deputy defense minister secretly visited Israel to seek help in developing the T-Dome.
The outlet says Israel has been providing defense technology and expertise to Taiwan under the guise of civilian programs.
Except the overwhelming majority of Taiwanese people do not want to be free of China, they want the status quo to remain exactly as it is.
They want the status quo because China has officially stated they’ll invade if Taiwan declares independence.
I think the main reason they want the status quo is that they are already effectively an independent nation (just not “officially”), and that any change to the status quo is simply a significant risk to the continued functioning of their effective independent status.
Well yeah if it doesn’t remain the way it is then their country will be invaded. Tons of them will die. Really understandable why they prefer the status quo. Which which is a de facto, if uneasy and probably nerve wrecking, from of freedom.
