The recent escalation in Southeast Asia showed that the region is on the verge of political and economic crises through the United States and its allies imposing economic sanctions against China, and a military escalation that may begin with China’s invasion of Taiwan, especially since two-thirds of the American forces in the world are located in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.
The United States claims that it is ready to defend the island of Taiwan in the event of the start of Chinese military operations, but the reality shows that the United States supports Taiwan militarily by equipping it with modern weapons to defend itself. Supporting Taiwan economically by engaging it in trade agreements with US allies in the region, such as Japan, South Korea and Australia, to deter Chinese strategic trends in the region. Politically, Congress passed a law to restore contacts with Taiwan, and the evidence is the visit of US House Speaker (Nancy Pelosi), which almost ignited military confrontations between the United States and China.
