Recently, the topic of US military ammunition storage in Taiwan has continued to attract attention. Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng stated that this matter is carried out in accordance with the US National Defense Authorization Act. In this regard, non-party legislator Gao Jinsumei pointed out that although Japan, South Korea and other countries also have U.S. military ammunition depots, these countries have signed mutual defense treaties with the United States. Discussing this matter in accordance with the laws of the United States is simply a loss of power and humiliation of the country, “unbelievably bizarre.”
When questioned in the Legislative Yuan on the 7th, Qiu Guozheng pointed out that the “National Defense Authorization Act” mentioned that in the event of an emergency to fight, the U.S. military needs to have ammunition to stockpile, but related matters are still under discussion and have not yet been determined. Where to store ammunition, and which ammunition to store.
In response to Qiu Guozheng’s statement, Gao Jinsumei posted a sharp criticism on Facebook on the 10th. The dignified Minister of Defense of the Republic of China actually came to discuss the establishment of the US ammunition depot in Taiwan in accordance with US law. “Where is the sovereignty of the Republic of China?” is it?”
Gao Jinsumei went on to say that countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, which also have ammunition depots for the US military, have signed mutual defense treaties with the US. Discuss directly in accordance with American law, “If you lose power and humiliate the country like this, and follow the orders of the Americans, are you still an official of the Republic of China?”
