China Panic: The US Opens a new base in Taiwan island closest to China

In his article Deterring the Dragon, Capt. Mills says the U.S. must consider basing ground forces in Taiwan "if it is committed to defending Taiwanese sovereignty." He said deploying U.S. ground troops was necessary since the regional balance of power in East Asia was shifting away from the U.S. and Taiwan and toward mainland China.

He said the U.S. should re-establish bases in Taiwan to draw a clear line for China. U.S. forces should be based in Taiwan to prevent any attack by China. Deploying U.S. troops will also make it evident the U.S. "will defend Taiwan in the clearest terms."
