Taiwan boosts defense to avoid conflict
Taiwan's leader aims to prevent the outbreak of war by increasing defense spending, amid the ongoing military threat from China, which considers the island part of its territory and threatens to use force to reclaim it. Taiwan has allocated 1.1 trillion Taiwanese dollars (34.5 billion USD) for defense in 2027, exceeding 3% of its GDP, to strengthen its military capabilities and demonstrate its seriousness in defending itself to the United States. These steps come in the context of rising tensions between China and Taiwan, with Taiwan indicating its readiness to defend its sovereignty.
