  • DPP authorities reportedly mull arms purchase from US

    Taiwan authorities are considering an arms purchase package worth billions of dollars from the US, according to a Reuters report, which Chinese mainland experts regard as a proactive move of the island authorities aimed at currying favor from the Trump administration in terms of both easing tariff pressure and attempts to “resist reunification by force.” However, in the face of firm resolution and strong capability of the Chinese mainland to achieve reunification, any more arms purchases are nothing but self-consolation to the island, experts said.
