4:50Now PlayingTensions in the Taiwan Strait escalated sharply as President Lai Ching-te pressed lawmakers to pass a stalled $40 billion defense budget, warning delays could weaken deterrence against mounting Chinese pressure. Beijing responded with a stark warning, saying any attempt by “Taiwan independence” forces to launch pre-emptive strikes using U.S.-supplied HIMARS systems would trigger “catastrophic disasters.” The threat comes amid near-daily PLA gray-zone incursions around Taiwan. Security analysts caution that rising military activity and hardened rhetoric are narrowing the margin for miscalculation, raising risks of a broader U.S.-China confrontation.
