Taipei said it welcomes pro-Taiwan initiatives in the NDAA and would conduct its own assessment about appropriate areas for cooperation with the U.S.
and Taiwan's reserves, which will be an important component of any sustained effort to fend off a future Chinese attack. Additionally, the NDAA expresses the non-binding sense of Congress to invite Taiwan to the Rim of the Pacific Exercise in 2022. RIMPAC—hosted from Hawaii every two years—is the world's largest maritime exercise.
China was twice a participant in 2014 and 2016, while Taiwan previously expressed a desire to take part., a Taiwanese defense spokesperson referred to remarks by Taiwan's Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng, who told reporters on Wednesday that he welcomes support in any form. Taiwan would"do its best" and"is happy to cooperate," Chiu said ahead of a parliamentary review of next year's defense budget."Cooperation doesn't mean accepting [every proposal] in full," he said."We will carry out assessments."
Chiu revealed that exchanges with the National Guard were already being discussed with the U.S., although he could not disclose specifics. Cooperation with the reserve element of theChiu—Taipei's former head of intelligence—said the island was facing increasing threat and pressure from the Chinese military. Taiwan was"duty-bound" to prepare, he said.
