There’s a broader philosophical-political point Taiwan neglects here. As Taiwan strategist Elbridge Colby put it, “If Taiwan is so blithe about its own defense, why should Americans stick their necks out? How much should Americans be willing to suffer if Taiwan isn’t even prepared to advocate for its own defense? Taiwan’s defense is already a tough case. She’s making it a lot tougher.”
