Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump recently said Taiwan needs to do more for its defense. And he’s right.

In an interview with Bloomberg, the former president was asked if he would defend Taiwan against China. The Chinese Communist Party routinely violates Taiwan’s sovereignty and has threatened to take over the island nation. CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping has called for the Chinese military to “be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027” — a move that could spark a Sino-American war.
