共40个导弹旅，每个基地控制6到8个，像小型基地，有自己通讯、作战和综合支援营
每个旅有

12-24个中程弹道导弹MRBMs
18-36个中远程弹道导弹IRBMs
36-48个短程弹道导弹SRBMs&地面发射巡航导弹GLCMs

Key provisions to highlight (1/🧵):
Key provisions to highlight (1/🧵):
1) Foreign Military Financing program for Taiwan, first introduced in @SenatorRisch's #TaiwanDeterrenceAct in Nov 2021 & incorporated into TPA. It is a sliding scale that provides $6.5b in grants & $2b in loans over next 5 yrs, contingent on increases in Taiwan's defense spending
2) Regional Contingency Stockpile. Unlike Ukraine, Taiwan must ensure it has the capabilities (both in terms of defensive weapons, protective gear, & medical supplies) on-island from day 1 of a potential contingency. We cannot wait and react after the fact, we must prep now.
1. #NixonMao #rapprochement 50th ANNIVERSARY: SOME FACTS & LESSONS.

3. In the following decades, the relationship was not void of tensions. However, strategic interests were important enough to save it from #TaiwanRelationsAct, #Reagan anti #communism and support for #Taiwan; #TiananmenSquare; #StraitCrisis 1995-1996; #Belgrade bombing
