Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a national speech on the morning of February 24, ordering the army to launch a "special military operation" in the Donbass region, and it was also in the morning that Ukraine was rocket-bombed, military bases were bombed, Russian troops began to land from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and then quickly entered the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, Ukraine was caught off guard by Russia's "blitzkrieg" overnight, while some people in Taiwan began to worry about how the cross-strait situation developed.
Zhang Yazhong also warned: Ukraine's current situation is a good lesson for Taiwan. Ukraine and Taiwan have similarities but are not identical, the first is a geopolitical issue, and the second is the "national identity" issue. Relative to Russia, Russia will not allow Ukraine to join NATO, which is very likely to damage Russia's border security, and relative to China, Taiwan is an indispensable piece of China's territory, so China will not allow other countries to split Taiwan. The United States uses Ukraine to create trouble for Russia, so it has hyped up that Russia will send troops to invade Russia, thinking that it will make its own profits from it, and this can also be projected on the Taiwan issue, the United States uses Taiwan to delay the pace of China's reunification, ensure its status as a world hegemon, and sell military weapons to Taiwan to make money.
But what makes the "Taiwan independence" elements even more desperate is that when US Secretary of State Blinken took the initiative to call Wang Yi, he made a statement that Blinken expressed his opposition to "Taiwan independence" and that the United States had no intention of creating a new Cold War or to have a conflict and confrontation with China. In a certain sense, this sentence has already sentenced "Taiwan independence" to death.
Taiwan media personality Zhao Shaokang expressed his opinion on Blinken's remarks: If Blinken really speaks out about "opposing" Taiwan independence, this will be a huge blow to the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island, because the "Taiwan independence" elements have always regarded the United States as a "savior" and have done their utmost to curry favor with the United States.
For some time now, the DPP authorities have frequently provoked the mainland. In a Feb. 22 conversation with Esper, Mr. Wu said Taiwan needs to develop asymmetric combat capabilities so that it can defend itself when the mainland militarily offends Taiwan. It can be seen from his words that he also hopes that external forces will continue to sell weapons to Taiwan, which can be said to be a dead duck's mouth.
Some netizens on the island said: If the mainland and Taiwan go to war, the number one war criminal must be Tsai Ing-wen, the second is none other than Wu Zhaoxie, and Taiwan will not be a provocateur of the conflict. Who to fool? "It is true that Taiwan has repeatedly touched China's bottom line, doing things that should not be done and saying things that should not be said.
As Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, peace in the Taiwan region depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, rather than wagging its tail and begging for mercy on external forces to send weapons or provide military support. It is impossible to hope that the United States and Japan can assist Taiwan, and it is hoped that the Taiwan authorities will understand this point at an early date.
