said on Thursday that Taiwan should be more concerned about increasing its defense system as depending on the U.S. commitment to Taiwan’s security is not enough amid an increasingly complex situation between China and Taiwan.
According to the Central News Agency, Moriarty asked Taiwan to invest more in its defense ability and garner more strength as the current situation is not helpful enough to withstand the opponent and falls short of what is required to be able to maintain peace and stability in the region.
“While we commend Taiwan for the considerable strides it has made, it can and must do more as the security threat against it continues to evolve,” Moriarty said at a forum held by Brookings Institution as quoted by CNA. [FULL STORY]
