Will the United States send troops to Taiwan? – The notes of a Yu – am730

Taiwan's media reported that Taiwan's Ministry of Defense revised the "Taiwan Defense Operation Plan", saying that if the two sides entered a war, the United States would not go to war. would not send troops to help Taiwan. After the publication of the news, President Tsai Ing-wen did not admit and did not deny, but said that national security is "our responsibility".

"Will the United States send troops to defend Taiwan?" The proposal is very old, and the old one was created 60 years ago. The Golden Gate artillery that shocked the world, also known as the "August 23 artillery war," erupted on August 23, 1958 and the Kuomintang Army and the 39th. army were all sent. The number of shells fired by the People's Liberation Army in Kinmen, the shine used by the local population to make kitchen knives, is quite famous.

When the Golden Gate artillery was the most intense, the United States sent warships to escort Taiwanese ships. The "People's Network" of China recorded this: Ye Fei, the first political commissar of the Fuzhou Military District, asked Mao Zedong, Mao said that "only Jiang's ship, not the ship American." Ye again asked, "If the American ship fires at me, are we fighting?" Answered Mao, there was no order to refuse to fight back. "And wait for the Beijing order to fire." "People's Network" stated that after the two PLA struck the Taiwanese ship, the escorted US ship sank on the high seas.

Before the Ship's Escort American Secretary of State Dulles said: "If you must intervene, you must use small atomic weapons." The United States is equipped with Taiwanese troops, including howitzers of 203 mm and air-to- air. Missile Especially the latter, the Golden Gate artillery was the first war in the world to shoot down enemy planes with air-to-air missiles. In 1974, United Press stated that US military generals wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons during the Golden Gate artillery, but that they were eventually vetoed by President Eisenhower.

The Golden Gate Artillery War does not only underscore the political and military considerations of China and the United States at the time, but the attitude of the third country, l & # 39; 39, Soviet Union, also deserves mention. During the Battle of the Golden Gate Artillery, the battle group of US aircraft carriers in the Taiwan Strait rose to six, and after preparing for the transfer of three land warfare officers from Okinawa to Taiwan , the Soviet Union immediately sends Foreign Minister Gromyko to Beijing. After all, China and the United States fought in the Western Pacific and the interests of the Soviet Union in the region can be guaranteed, which is the greatest consideration of Moscow.

Chinese Defense Minister Peng Dehuai released the "Report to Taiwan Compatriots" on October 6, when both sides gradually maintained the "peace" of the army. On 1 January 1979, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Taiwan and established diplomatic relations with Beijing, China and the United States successively signed three communiques, but, as in the practice of artillery, the United States United never sell weapons to Taiwan. The parties to the Golden Gate Artillery War have already died and, if the Second Artillery War broke out, the judgment and decision on the situation will be applied again in the past.
