China, which claims the island as its territory, has poached Taiwan\u2019s diplomatic allies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/china\/2023\/03\/01\/china-sends-25-planes-3-ships-toward-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">sent military planes and ships<\/a> toward the island on a near-daily basis. It also held <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/2022\/08\/08\/china-extends-threatening-military-exercises-around-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">large-scale drills<\/a> modeling a blockade and simulated strikes on important targets on the island twice within the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at a public forum in Taiwan\u2019s capital Taipei, retired Lt. Gen. Steven Rudder said the U.S. wants to be part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2023\/02\/01\/taiwan-activates-defenses-in-response-to-china-incursions\/\" target=\"_blank\">defense capabilities of Taiwan<\/a> and improve the supply chain resilience of the island. He also emphasized how critical the island\u2019s position is for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor the Asia-Pacific, I would offer there\u2019s not another more important area in the world to maintain peace,\u201d Rudder said Wednesday morning at the Taiwan-U.S. Defense Industry Forum. \u201cSo [when] you hear \u2018a free and open Indo-Pacific,\u2019 this is a small part of ensuring that shared vision remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to be part of the self-defense capabilities of Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to follow through on the nearly $19 billion in military sales items they say were approved but not yet delivered to Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rudder, who was in charge of Marine Corps operations in the Pacific, said the visit was within the United States\u2019 multiple agreements with China and laws related to Taiwan, such as the Taiwan Relations Act, which requires Washington to ensure Taiwan can defend itself. The legislation was enacted decades ago when the U.S. government first recognized China and broke off official diplomatic relations with Taipei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was co-hosted by a trade group from the U.S. and another from Taiwan as the public-facing portion of the defense contractors\u2019 visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s unclear whether the groups will sign specific deals, local media reported the United States was looking at cooperation in production of certain products. Part of that cooperation would be ensuring both sides can work together to use the weapons systems Taiwan bought alongside the island\u2019s existing self-produced defense capabilities. Washington is Taipei\u2019s largest unofficial partner and the supplier of a vast majority of Taiwan\u2019s defense purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll say it very simply: The endgame is joint interoperability,\u201d Rudder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A group of about 20 activists protested outside. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/04\/23\/lawmakers-war-game-conflict-with-china-hoping-to-deter-one\/\" target=\"_blank\">American warmongers<\/a> are a scourge on Taiwan,\u201d read one of the banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6000\" height=\"3965\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg 6000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg?resize=300,198 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg?resize=768,508 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,677 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1015 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23123101310241.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1353 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6000px) 100vw, 6000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Protesters shout and hold posters outside the Taipei International Convention Center during the Taiwan-U.S. Defense Industry Forum in Taipei, Taiwan, on May 3, 2023.

The drone encircled the island, according to a flight map from the ministry, while seven maritime vessels sailed the waters close by. It was the second time in the past week that a drone circled the island, in what appears to be a new tactic for China to exert military pressure on Taiwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delegation of United States defense contractors and a former senior leader of the U.S. Marine Corps are pledging deeper cooperation with
