If there is a war in the Taiwan Straits, whoever owns the
Straits will have a big influence on whether China gets her
supplies.
I'd bet that in such an event, we might see PLAN warships trying to
secure the Straits for their own purposes, thus possibly setting us
Malay Archipelago states into a conflict with her.We are very tied
into the fate of North Asia, if you look really hard enough into
the political and military dimensions are work here, plus taking
into account our relationship with the United States, which sees us
as a vdery important forward logistics HQ in South and North
Asia.
They are basing more troops and aircraft at Guam these days..And
it's definitely due to the rising tension.
Take a look at our RSN's increasingly bluewater plans and
strategy.Add in our air-to-air refueling capability, which only we
have amongst our neighbours..throw in the fact that we are getting
our Frigates anti-missile missile capability..
We're definitely trying to be a force capable of defending the
Straits.Whoever the enemy might be...we won't know for sure..but I
think if there is an external military threat to the Straits, I'd
be glad to see RSAF Eagles and Vipers flying CAP alongside RMAF
SU-30s and F/A-18E Super Hornets in the South China Sea
