China Concerned Over Taiwan-Israel Military Cooperation
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, China is increasingly wary of the military collaboration between Taiwan and Israel.
Reports from Chinese security and intelligence agencies suggest that Taiwan and Israel are expanding their military and defense cooperation to develop the “T-Dom” air defense system.
The “T-Dom” system aims to strengthen Taiwan’s defense capabilities against potential missile threats from China, mirroring the functionality of Israel’s “Iron Dome” system.
Chinese officials point to discreet visits by high-ranking Taiwanese officials, including François Wu, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Taiwan, to Tel Aviv as evidence of deepening military ties between the two entities.
Taiwan seeks to acquire or transfer advanced radar and missile technologies from Israel, including the “Arrow” system and other components of Israel’s multi-layered missile defense, to integrate them into the T-Dom architecture.
Beijing views Tel Aviv’s approach as a violation of the “One China” principle and an interference in its internal affairs.
China insists that any official contact or military cooperation between Taiwan and other countries, especially Israel, constitutes an infringement on China’s national sovereignty. Chinese political and military bodies consider the overt or covert cooperation between Taiwan and Israel a direct threat to China’s national security.
