The separatist "government" of Taiwan is paying for it. They are trying to give the impression Taiwan is a country.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has approved the possible sale to Taiwan of M1A2T Abrams tanks, Stinger missiles and related equipment at an estimated value of $2.2 billion (£1.76 billion), the Pentagon said on Monday, despite Chinese criticism of the deal.
China's Foreign Ministry said last month when the possible sale was first reported that it was seriously concerned about U.S. arms sales to self-ruled Taiwan, and it urged the United States to halt the sales to avoid harming bilateral ties.
The sale of the weapons requested by Taiwan, including 108 General Dynamics Corp M1A2T Abrams tanks and 250 Stinger missiles, would not alter the basic military balance in the region, the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a statement.
DSCA notified Congress on Monday of the possible arms sale, which it said could also include mounted machine guns, ammunition, Hercules armoured vehicles for recovering inoperative tanks, heavy equipment transporters and related support.
The United States is the main arms supplier to Taiwan, which China deems a renegade province. Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said in March that Washington was responding positively to Taipei's requests for new arms sales to bolster its defences in the face of pressure from China. The United States has no formal ties with Taiwan but is bound by law to help provide it with the means to defend itself.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry confirmed it had requested those weapons and that the request was proceeding normally.
The U.S. commitment to providing Taiwan with the weapons to defend itself helps Taipei's military raise its combat abilities, consolidates the Taiwan-U.S. security partnership and ensures Taiwan's security, the ministry said last month in a statement.

You don't need to station troops if you supply the current existing military with your top shelf hardware, with a commitment to provide immediate aid if they are attacked.
How would the US respond if Russia provided Cuba with it's most modern military equipment to the extent that Cuba became a Russian military base?
The last time Russia tried that, the world was within hours of a nuclear showdown.

If China attacked Taiwan, the US would consider it an attack on US "interests", and respond accordingly.
We should not forget that Chine may have 1500 missiles aimed against Taiwan, but the US has thousands aimed at China.

That's different from Taiwan though. Britain handed HK back to China in 97. HK seems to be pissed off that China has been eroding freedoms that were guaranteed in the Basic Law.
What China should have done with HK was a partial retrocession of sovereignty. Let Britain maintain the economy, the political system and legal system, with no military control. The PLA could have maintained that.

They knew China can't be trusted..
Britain didn't fight hard enough for the people of Hong Kong..
And if there were happy, prosperous people that wanted to maintain Chinese rule of law on the Isle of Wight, I think Britain would not only entertain the idea, they would insist upon it..
But, we can see from East Turkestan and Tibet, that China is anything, but a benevolent colonial power.

Would you prefer to have them turn Hong Kong into a battlefield? The law of contract which they were bound by was clear; the colonial agreement expired in 1997. Their only option was to try to negotiate, which they did. And you would know better than I that you cannot negotiate with China.
Their hands were tied. The fact that Hong Kong has some semblance of self rule is because the UK was able to get China to at least agree to that.
And there is NO way any country would agree to a colony of a hostile power within swimming distance of its shores. No matter how happy the people in the colony were.

Britain sold them out..Quote from: "Fashionista"
Britain abided by the rule of law in keeping to the terms of an agreement to govern Hong Kong until 1997.
Britain attempted to negotiate a new agreement to maintain their role, but China, understandably, would have none of it.
Would Britain entertain the idea of a Chinese colony on the Isle of Wight?
Britain knew the legislature would not remain democratic..
They knew that China would impose a handpicked Chief Executive..
They knew China can't be trusted..
Britain didn't fight hard enough for the people of Hong Kong..
And if there were happy, prosperous people that wanted to maintain Chinese rule of law on the Isle of Wight, I think Britain would not only entertain the idea, they would insist upon it..

What the UK should have done was held a referendum in Hong Kong. Ask the people what they want from China before the handover. But, China would have had a shit fit at the thought of getting people's assent to changes. And they probably would not have honored the referendum results anyway. Which seems to be a British thing.

That name, Chinese Taipei, that Taiwan is forced to use in international sports is so insulting.

That is petty bullying. And I would guess it does not win many hearts in Taiwan.

But, pan blue supporters say this is happening in Jong Kong because the people are seditious..
Demanding fundamental human rights is sedition to KMT supporters.
