[NTD News September 28, 2021, Beijing time]In view of Beijing’s escalating “armed control of Taiwan” speech and military development, former US Department of Defense official Elbridge Colby recently issued a warning that the CCP is likely to try to invade Taiwan , The United States must be ready to use force to fight back.

On Sunday (26th), Colby, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategy and Military Development of the Department of Defense during the Trump Administration and the author of “Strategy of Denial”, accepted the host of Fox News (FOX NEWS) Hilton The interview with (Steve Hilton) pointed out that the United States must take military measures to defend Taiwan.

“To be honest, I think China is the most likely. If it really wants to solve the Taiwan issue, I think they are likely to invade. I really think that this does have a concrete impact on the interests of the United States.” Colby said Hilton said, “If China (the CCP) is really serious, it will attack, it will invade, take over, and then just show us an irreversible reality.”

Colby emphasized that Taiwan is very important to the United States and is “related to what I think is the destiny of our Asian alliance.” If the CCP dominates the world, “our lives will be fundamentally changed.” The key for the CCP to do this is to dismantle the countries in the region that are trying to prevent it from achieving its goals, including countries such as Japan, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, and Australia.

Colby further analyzed that if the CCP tries to dismantle the US-led Asian alliance, it must strike a fatal blow to the alliance members. To do this, Taiwan has a lot of meaning. There are two reasons: US Army “Five-Star Admiral” Douglas MacArthur once called Taiwan an unsinkable aircraft carrier. If the CCP obtains Taiwan, it will control the Central Pacific region.

The second reason given by Colby is that Taiwan is related to the credibility of the United States. For Japan, the Philippines, or an archipelago in the Western Pacific, if the Americans retreat from the defense of Taiwan, the consequences will be serious. Therefore, “we must find a way to defend Taiwan in a way that suits our interests.”

When talking about what the United States should focus on now, Colby said: “We should really make sure that we have what I call denial defense, and we should basically stop doing everything else.”

“In the final analysis, it’s basically defeating the invasion I’m talking about. Sinking the fleet, killing the air fleet, killing, capturing or wounding the soldiers who landed in Taiwan,” Colby added, this is actually a fairly low standard. , But it’s enough.
