This study aims to analyze international policies, especially the military and politics of major countries, including the US and China. It should be noted that several months ago US government representatives made political visits to Taiwan, even as much as 2x, this is very sensitive regarding the heating up relations between China and Taiwan. Plus the Chinese Government expressed anger at the United States defense law that increased military assistance to Taiwan. Meanwhile Taiwan supports the new US law because it helps improve the security of the island. China, which regards democratically-ruled Taiwan as its own territory, expressed "strong dissatisfaction and firm rejection" of the US National Defense Authorization Act, said China's Foreign Ministry in a statement as reported by Reuters news agency, on Saturday, December 24, 2022. The law provides for a US$ 858 billion military spending budget, which includes up to US$ 10 billion in security assistance and fast-track weapons procurement for Taiwan. China says the law contains provisions that cause serious harm to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
