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

Proud to have worked on the #TaiwanPolicyActof2022 and getting it passed through @SenateForeign yesterday! The manager's package [note: diff from intro'ed text] can be found here: bit.ly/3LjfcEx. [Final text to be posted soon].
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.

2. In 1972, China needed to avert a terrestrial invasion from #USSR. The #UnitedStates was keen to gain a heavy-weight partner to checkmate #Moscow; but the long-term objective was to bring the most populous country into a rising US-led global economic order for the US to profit
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
