If there is a war in the Taiwan Strait, will the United States send troops to "aid Taiwan"?
According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network", Taiwan's "Defense and Security Research Institute" previously conducted a poll in which it asked, "If there is a war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, do you think the United States will send troops to help Taiwan?" 55% of respondents think it will, 37% think it will not. In this regard, former captain of the Taiwan Navy Huang Zhenghui asserted on the 6th, "What qualifications does Taiwan have to say that the United States will save us? There is nothing in Taiwan that is worth the United States to linger on, and this poll is just a cognitive war".
Huang Zhenghui said, "How come so many people still believe that the US military will definitely come?" Of those who believe, 55%, "I really find it unbelievable when I see it.". Huang Zhenghui emphasized, "I used to say it was impossible, even if he came, what would happen?"
Huang Zhenghui cited a poll done by Japan as an example, "If there is a war in the 'first island chain', the U.S. military will definitely help Japan fight this war, the poll is very high, but the Japanese poll is quite credible, because Japan has more than 140 U.S. military bases, that can simply be said to be U.S. land, so if there is a war in the 'first island chain' today, will the U.S. be willing to retreat? He won't go, not likely." Huang Zhenghui mentioned, "South Korea also has more than 70 US military bases. What qualifications does Taiwan have to say that the United States will save us?"
