In a recent visit to Taipei, former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence urged President-elect Donald Trump to strengthen American support for Taiwan due to rising threats from China. Pence highlighted that a Chinese takeover of Taiwan could have significant repercussions for global trade and technology, potentially igniting a new nuclear arms race as neighboring Asian nations might seek to develop their own nuclear capabilities, fearing a decline in U.S. deterrent power.

Pence reminded attendees that the United States is Taiwan's primary arms supplier and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of power between Taiwan and China. Despite this, China has repeatedly threatened to assert control over the island, even resorting to military force if necessary. He recounted how Trump previously questioned the U.S. commitment to Taiwan during the campaign, suggesting that Taiwan should compensate for American military protection, a statement that raised concerns in the region.

At the Taipei event, Pence expressed his belief that the U.S. would remain loyal to its allies in the Pacific. He called on the new administration to fortify its stance on Taiwan’s defense and independence while promoting discussions for a free trade agreement with Taiwan—a proposal that has strong backing from U.S. and Taiwanese leaders but could lead to friction with China. Pence also observed a shift in U.S. perceptions of China since Trump’s first term, with a consensus forming around China being a primary strategic and economic challenge to the U.S. and its allies in the 21st century.

Following his speech in Taipei, Pence participated in a business event in Hong Kong, where he advocated for the release of Jimmy Lai, a jailed publisher and media mogul.
