Taiwan is equivalent to 20 aircraft carrier fleets to defend the free world.
About FRA(Formosa Republican Association): Taiwan, aka Formosa (beautiful island in Portuguese) is a nation belongs to the people of Taiwan, whose government is run by the people and for the people. China, across from the Taiwan Strait is not. Taiwan definitely is not part of China.
Formosa Republican Association (FRA) 福和會 was founded by a group of Taiwanese elites led by Elder Robert Lee (李席舟長老) with help from Mr. Stephen Yates, an Idaho prominent Republican, on December 10, 2018 in Taipei, Taiwan. FRA is the first political organization based on Christianity and American Conservatism as most of political parties in Taiwan are more or less socialism (left). Most of Taiwanese do not fully understand what the American Conservatism (right) is. There are less than 4% of Taiwanese are Christians and most political leaders are not except the late president Lee Deng Huey. This is the main reason FRA was founded for. FRA was also approved by the late president Lee. Many member of FRA are American citizens and there are hundred of thousands Taiwanese-Americans and most them do not fully understand American Conservatism as well. Robert Lee also founded the FRANA (FRA of North America) 北美福和會 in Los Angeles, trying to educate the Taiwanese-Americans to understand what the American Conservatism really is and bring them back to Taiwan because he believed that Taiwan has to be built as a nation under GOD as the Bible said: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." (Psalm 127:1) Unfortunately, Robert Lee passed away on September, 2020 in Houston, Texas unexpectedly. The V.P. of FRANA, Jack Jeng is the acting president now.
FRANA has participated CPAC since 2019 for three consecutive years. FRANA attended the J-CPAC (Japan)-2019. FRANA also heavily involved in Trump's MAGA campaign 2020/2021 and supported local Republican candidates for the 2020 elections.
Taiwan is equivalent to 20 aircraft carrier fleets to defend the free world: As the late US five-star general Douglas MacArthur said: Taiwan was viewed as an unsinkable aircraft carrier arrayed as a link of the first island chain in the West Pacific in order to contain the expansion of communism. Years ago, some U.S. Admiral even said : Taiwan is equivalent to 20 aircraft carrier fleets in military force power. Surrounding by Taiwan Straight (where Taiwan set apart from mainland China in 100 miles), Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean, Taiwan has the excellent geographic strategic advantage to defend herself. But with China “Peaceful Rising” and increasing military power by many folds since “The Third Taiwan Straight Crisis (1995-1996)”, CCP has tipped the military force imbalance by large to his favor.FRANA is promoting the concept of: "Defending Taiwan is Defending Japan and America" and the "Porcupine Missile Defense Systems" for Taiwan. And We would like U.S. to help Taiwan to defend itself such as the Taiwan Deterrence Act.
U.S. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and his colleagues in introducing the Taiwan Deterrence Act, legislation to bolster deterrence across the Taiwan Strait and strengthen Taiwan’s ability to defend against Chinese aggression and coercion. “The defense of Taiwan is critical to the future peace and security of the entire Indo-Pacific region,” said Risch. “This legislation authorizes $2 billion a year in Foreign Military Financing for Taiwan, but it is not a blank check. This funding is contingent on Taiwan’s commitment to further advance initiatives championed by President Tsai to build a credible defense.
