2018 Pacific Rim military exercise data map
It is worth mentioning that although the US Senate passed the "2021 National Defense Authorization Act" on July 23, the bill "recommended to invite Taiwan to participate in the Pacific Rim military exercise", which attracted the Democratic Progressive Party authorities at the time. Thanks again and again." However, Taiwan’s defense department recently admitted that it had not received the news of an invitation from the US military to participate, so Taiwan "has no chance to participate this year."

At the same time, the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center Commander Chen Shizhong, who is deeply involved in the controversy of "Taiwan's unpopular screening is because it is cheap to see a doctor", reported another piece of "bad news" ". Regarding the vaccine issue that has received the most attention after the US Secretary of Health Aza’s visit to Taiwan, Chen Shizhong admitted for the first time that the US side has no consensus on whether to provide vaccines to Taiwan first. The pace of Taiwan’s self-produced vaccine is relatively slow, and the second phase of the trial will only be possible at the end of the year. Even if the research and development goes well, "it may come out in April or May as soon as next year."
Hearing these news, some netizens on the island ridiculed the Taiwanese military’s “Hankuang Exercise” incidents over the years, saying: “Participating in the military exercise is to perform a landing craft capsize? A helicopter fell? Missile shooting? A tank fell into a ditch? Which one? "Some netizens also said bluntly, "You are a pen tip, just an abandoned child, and you still participate in the exercise?" "Isn't it the best Taiwan-US relationship ever? How can you not even get an observer status."

The media is even more reminiscent of the "Joint Statement on Epidemic Prevention Partnership" signed between Taiwan and the United States in March this year. At that time, Wu Zhaoxie flaunted that the US "has reserved 300,000 protective clothing materials for Taiwan," and Taiwan will also provide 100,000 masks to the US every week in the future. Afterwards, it was revealed that it was true that Taiwan sent masks to the United States free of charge every week. The United States reserved 300,000 protective clothing materials for Taiwan, but it was very informative, because not only did the United States give it away for free, Taiwan had to pay for it, and the United States did not say for sure. Will give to Taiwan.

Not long ago, American pharmaceutical companies could not even sell 1,000 copies of the antiviral drug Remdesivir to Taiwan. Can a vaccine be expected?
In recent years, the DPP authorities have always sought to participate in the Pacific Rim military exercises. As early as 2018, the director of Taiwan’s defense department declared that they "have been fighting." However, the phrase "still missed this year" can be said to have overturned again and unveiled the "best relationship history" between the "US and Taiwan". Although the U.S. speaks to the DPP authorities and always talks about "real friends, real progress" and other scenes, real problems can only be the feeling of "the heart is separated from the belly, and the heart will change overnight" and "being used as a gun". Destined to not be wonderful.
