A defense official from Taiwan confirmed on April 19 that it is looking to acquire long-range, air-launched cruise missiles from the United States. The confirmation comes amid the island’s efforts to bolster its defenses in the face of increasing pressure from Beijing.

Taiwan is already developing its own long-range missiles as it seeks to gain the ability to strike back deep into China in the event of war. That said, it has also looked to the United States to help provide it with more advanced weaponry.
Talking to parliament about which weapons systems Taiwan wants to buy, Lee Shih-chiang, head of Taiwan’s defense ministry’s strategic planning department, named Lockheed Martin’s AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) as the missile Taiwan is looking to procure.
But whether it can purchase the missiles is up to the United States.
“We are still in the process of seeking it,” Lee said. “Communication channels are very smooth and normal.”
Taiwan seeking long-range missile that can hit far inside China
Taiwan’s armed forces are in the midst of a modernization program. The program is meant to turn it into a more effective deterrent against Chinese aggression. As part of this, the country is looking to gain the ability to hit back at bases far from China’s coast in the event that war breaks out. This is where the JASSM comes in.
The JASSM can have a range of up to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), depending on the model. It can be deployed on various aircraft, including the Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon, which Taiwan operates.

According to Lockheed Martin, the missile is designed to destroy high-value, well-defended targets while having the range and accuracy to be launched far from enemy air defense systems.
The missile’s air-launched nature also falls within Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s desire to develop an “asymmetrical” deterrent. This involves using mobile equipment that’s not only capable of hitting targets far away from Taiwan, but is also hard to find and destroy.
The sale of the missiles still requires approval from the United States. That said, the latter has been eager to create a military counterbalance to Chinese forces. It has been building on an effort known within the Pentagon as “Fortress Taiwan.” (Related: U.S. Admiral expresses worry about communist China’s future invasion of Taiwan.)
China continues to view Taiwan as part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under control. It has, as of late, stepped up military activity near the island in an effort to force the Taiwanese government to accept Beijing’s claims of sovereignty.
Taiwan also developing its own missiles
Even as it seeks to purchase the JASSM, Taiwan has also been hard at work developing missiles of its own. Last March, a senior official confirmed that it had begun mass production of its own missile.
Taking questions from Parliament, Leng Chin-hsu, deputy director of the state-owned National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology confirmed that one long-range, land-based missile has already entered into production while three other long-range missiles are in development. Leng refused to give details of the missiles’ range.
In recent months, the institute, which leads Taiwan’s weapons development efforts, has carried out a series of missile tests off its southeastern coast. Taiwanese media have published images of missiles launching and aircraft have been given instructions to stay clear of the test area. But details of the tests themselves remain undisclosed.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
