Taiwan's military would last "only two weeks" in a cross-strait war with China, a former naval commander for the island said on Monday.
Lieutenant General Yeh Jen-wen, who served in Taiwan's navy for 32 years, warned President Tsai Ing-wen that her government was "playing with fire" with its escalating weapons procurement policy.
Yeh's comments, made in an interview with Hong Kong's China Review News Agency, came after the Trump administration announced two arms sales to Taipei in the space of a week, including an estimated $2.37 billion in Harpoon missile systems.
On Tuesday, Election Day in the U.S., the State Department approved another deal, this time for four armed Reaper drones worth $600 million. It is the 10th weapons transaction between Washington and Taipei since President Donald Trump took office in 2017.

Well, if/when slo’jo gets it they will receive zero help from US.
May as well preemptively surrender, like Bush League Republicans are doing now in the face of fraud.
Once Biden sells them out to the Chicoms for $1 billion plus three strippers and a baggie of crack rocks for Hunter, yeah they won’t last long....
Make that one week, if HideyHo successfully steals this election. Oh, and expect the ChiComs to make their move in 2021 as the light will be green. Who is going to stop them?
Yep. It's going to happen.
Dems and GOPe prefer optional NATO-centric wars instead of fighting actual communists.
Isbthat a preexisting condition? Uncle Joe will take care a that..
Today is 476 AD again. Barbarians are in charge.
I’m not in the advice business, but if I were I’d advise both Taiwan and Japan to develop, beg, borrow or steal nukes. The Chicoms own America come January and you need to count on yourself.
Oh jeez. So many people are sucked into the idea of Chinese invincibility. They don’t need to attack Taiwan at all with so many “Frenchmen” who are supposed to be on Taiwan’s side ready to give up.
You forgot that Hunter needs a few 10 year old children included in that sell-out package.
I was thinking that same thought this morning as well.
GMTA.
If it comes to that, then DJT should transfer some nukes to the ROC as part of "burning down the house". Nominate a SCOTUS replacement for Thomas. Pardon Flynn, Assange, Snowden. Etc.
Won’t even last a minute.
Knowing that Joe and democrats won’t be helping, Taiwan will surrender immediately.
Bye-bye world.
Trump could give them nukes in the next couple months, win or lose. That would ensure they are never invaded.
Yeah, Taiwan is finished...probably over run before Fall 2021...Biden payback for the election...
I’m actually impressed if they could last two weeks against the mainland on their own. They should start looking into alternative alliances, if they haven’t done so. Pacific free countries such as Japan and South Korea would be a good start.
IF Biden wins Hunter sells a few Carriers to the Chicoms.
SOROS new will never even mention it.
Happy I’ve visited Taiwan before the virus and Biden. It was a nice country.
Live free or die someone once said.
