Taiwan is set to increase its defense budget by 7.7% next year, a rate that exceeds its expected economic growth. This decision comes as the island seeks to enhance its military capabilities in response to escalating tensions with China. The additional funds will be allocated towards acquiring more fighter jets and missiles, aiming to strengthen Taiwan's deterrence capabilities. This move mirrors China's own defense spending increase of 7.2% this year, highlighting the growing military competition in the region. Taiwan's government is prioritizing its defense to safeguard against the rising threat from Beijing, signaling a significant shift in its strategic priorities.
