Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng is calling on Taiwan’s people to have confidence in the military. Chiu was responding to a statement earlier in the week from a top US military commander.
Philip Davidson, the commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, said Tuesday that China could attack Taiwan in six years’ time. He said that the US will provide all necessary defensive resources and services to Taiwan so that Taiwan can defend itself.
Defense Minister Chiu called on Taiwan’s people to avoid panicking and trust in the capability of Taiwan’s military. Chiu said Taiwan is prepared for war and will make appropriate adjustments according to the situation.
