US 'Nuclear Umbrella' to Cover Taiwan? | China In Focus

#Weapons of mass destruction may be on the table for a certain Indo-Pacific #island. Reports say Taiwan could be in talks to come under Washington's "nuclear umbrella." That would trigger the United States to retaliate in kind if Taiwan were to come under nuclear attack from Beijing. For decades, the U.S. nuclear umbrella has shielded Japan, South Korea, and Australia. There are mixed reactions to the reported proposal, with some saying it would help boost Taiwan's security while others are more cautious.
