TAIPEI: A senior United States lawmaker pledged on Saturday (Apr 8) to help provide training for Taiwan's armed forces and to speed up the delivery of weapons, as China began three days of military exercises around the island. China announced the drills the day after

Speaking at a lunch in Taipei hosted by Tsai for his bipartisan delegation, Michael McCaul, chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, said they visited Taiwan in a show of strong support of the island and that it was important both sides stood together.

Since last year, Taiwan has complained of delays to deliveries of American weapons, such as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, as manufacturers send supplies to Ukraine to support its defence against Russia. "And we will provide training to your military - not for war, but for peace," he added, without giving details."Projecting weakness only invites aggression and conflict. Projecting strength provides deterrence and promotes peace."

The US has long offered some degree of training on weapon systems, as well as detailed advice on ways to strengthen its military to guard against a possible invasion by China's People's Liberation Army.The US is set to expand the number of troops helping train Taiwanese forces, two American officials told Reuters in February.
