Taipei, 2024 June 14 - American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Sun Xiaoya is set to leave office soon and held her final press conference yesterday. She emphasized that supporting Taiwan's self-defense capabilities is not only one of AIT's goals but also aligns with U.S. priority policies, as peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are crucial for the prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region. Sun stated that Taiwan, with its advanced manufacturing, high-tech, and electronics sectors, would inevitably play a role in the increasingly high-tech defense industry, such as a components supplier. The recent visit of former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger to Taiwan expressed support for Taiwan's participation in the U.S. defense supply chain.
