Taiwan has announced plans to develop a new advanced air defence system, known as the T Dome, to protect against potential military threats. The initiative comes amid ongoing tensions with China, with President Lai emphasizing the need for increased defence spending and enhanced military readiness. While the government frames the T Dome as a crucial step for national security, critics argue it is being used to bolster political support and warn of significant financial and logistical challenges. Analysts note that building such a system will take years and require substantial investment, raising questions about its feasibility and political motivations.
