Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen confirms small US troop training presence, hopes the US would support defending the island if necessary against China

President Tsai Ing-wen comments are the first time a Taiwanese leader has publicly made such an admission since 1979. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's comments to CNN during an interview aired on Thursday are the first time a Taiwanese leader has publicly made such an admission since the last US garrison left in 1979 when Washington switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing."We have a wide range of cooperation with the US aiming at increasing our defence capability," she said.

The presence of US troops was first confirmed to AFP news agency and other media by a Pentagon official earlier this month. "We have personnel exchanges and they would be here for military cooperation, but this is different, according to my definition, from having 'troops stationed' here," Chiu said.

Tsai reiterated her offer of talks with Xi to "reduce misunderstanding" and address the differences in their political systems- something Beijing has so far rebuffed.

Blinken urges all U.N. member states to support Taiwan participationWASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday called on all United Nations member states to support Taiwan's 'robust' participation in the U.N. system, contesting ongoing pressure from China to block the self-ruled island's access to international organizations. Taiwan held the Chinese U.N. seat until Oct. 25, 1971, when it was voted out as representative of the country in favor of the People's Republic of China, which had won a civil war in 1949 and forced the republican government to flee to Taiwan. China says Taiwan is one of its provinces and so it has the sole right to represent Taiwan internationally. Truly appreciate the bravery and honesty people to stand up against the Chinese Communist Party. the UN resolution 2758 states, China cannot represent Taiwan, Don’t be mislead by China again!
