“利”！美一边说“无力保台”一边炒作战争，岛内舆论发现背后原因

Core Viewpoint - The Pentagon's 2025 "China Military and Security Development Report" continues to amplify the so-called "Chinese military threat," particularly regarding Taiwan, which has garnered significant attention in Taiwan's media [1][2]. Group 1: Military Capabilities - The report claims that China possesses a large and growing arsenal of nuclear weapons, naval power, conventional long-range strike capabilities, cyber capabilities, and space capabilities, which pose a direct threat to U.S. security [2]. - The Chinese military is reportedly making steady progress towards its 2027 goals, which include achieving a "strategic decisive victory" over Taiwan and establishing a "strategic balance" against the U.S. [2]. Group 2: U.S. Military Limitations - U.S. military intervention in the Taiwan Strait is acknowledged to be limited, with internal documents indicating that the U.S. military may be unable to defend Taiwan effectively [3]. - Advanced U.S. weaponry may be destroyed by the Chinese military before it can reach the Taiwan Strait, as indicated by multiple failed military simulations [3]. Group 3: Military-Industrial Complex - The U.S. military's portrayal of external threats is seen as a strategy to secure increased military funding, with China being the primary focus since the dissolution of the Soviet Union [5]. - A coalition of U.S. military officials, think tanks, politicians, and arms dealers is accused of exaggerating the "China threat" to justify military expansion and budget increases [5]. Group 4: Taiwan's Military Purchases - Taiwan's military procurement decisions are largely controlled by the U.S., with local officials admitting that the U.S. plans their military purchases [5]. - The Taiwanese government often accepts U.S. military sales without question, leading to issues such as inflated prices, delayed deliveries, and subpar quality, resulting in a "low quality, high price" reputation for Taiwan's military purchases [5][7]. Group 5: Political Dynamics - The military procurement process has become a means for certain Taiwanese and American politicians to gain political and economic benefits, described as a "bad play" that does not enhance Taiwan's security or contribute to cross-strait peace [7]. - The Taiwan issue is framed as an internal matter for China, with the Chinese military asserting its commitment to defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity without external interference [7].
