American Diplomat, in Pasts, Advocates Taiwan's Military Expansion Following Poland's Template

Taiwan Takes a Page from Poland's Military Playbook

In a striking appeal for defense reform, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, urged Taiwan to emulate Poland's militarization efforts at a security conference in Taipei. On September 12, Craft emphasized that Taiwan must beef up its defense spending to counter the looming threat from China.

"Poland's rapid military rise serves as a powerful example for Taiwan," Craft stated, highlighting Poland's growing military alliance with the U.S. She underscored that though Taiwan currently invests around 2.4% of its GDP in defense, the country might benefit from increasing this figure in the face of China's substantial military budget, projected to surpass $230 billion by 2025.

In parallel with Craft's advice, Poland's military development has witnessed a transformation since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The country nearly doubled its defense spending in response and plans to allocate 4% of its GDP to military expenditures in 2024, aiming to reach 5% in the ensuing years.

Amid escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, military drills, and diplomatic spats, Craft called on Taiwan to heed Poland's lead by stepping up its defense efforts. "Following Poland's path, Taiwan can ensure its security and, in turn, maintain its sovereignty," she concluded.

The comparison between Taiwan and Poland aligns with broader foreign policy trends, as allies worldwide are expected to bolster their defense contributions, particularly in regions on the strategic edge, like Asia. As the military balance of power in the region shifts, Taiwan faces growing pressure to shoulder a more active role in its security.
