With the independence of Uzbekistan and Eastern Ukraine, after being publicly recognized by Putin, the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine immediately escalated. On February 24, the Russo-Ukrainian War was on the verge of breaking out, and Ukraine fell into isolation and helplessness in the face of the United States.
Today's Russian troops have continued to attack several Ukrainian cities along the eastern front. Subsequently, the decline in the stock market, the surge in energy and gold prices began to appear, and the "war effect" became more and more obvious. However, as the world speculates about how the war will affect Russia's economy, more Chinese turn their attention to the mainland's cross-strait reunification.
Even many people are very curious, can we learn from Putin's current treatment of Ukraine to solve the Taiwan problem on the mainland? Or is it that after the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine turned into war, what enlightenment did they have for the reunification of the two sides of the mainland? These three key points are important.
The United States can be said to have made an indispensable contribution to the current level of Russian-Ukrainian relations. It is said that Ukraine played a good hand of cards, and this "rotten" began when it was related to the United States and wanted to be the "little brother" of the United States.
Ukraine's NATO dream has been the main plan for its diplomatic development. First in 2016, the "non-alignment" rules were abolished, and then in 2019, Ukraine's main diplomatic direction for the next few years was to join the European Union and NATO. This step-by-step operation is undoubtedly telling Russia that Ukraine will have the support of the United States in the future.
As for the "friends" who are sent to the door and can help the United States realize the eastward expansion plan, the United States will naturally not refuse. However, due to the strength of Russia, the United States does not dare to directly agree to Ukraine's entry into NATO. It has been half-hanging on Ukraine, giving it enough hope.
Ukraine has also always believed in its good big brother, until it has been hit hard in many places in the country, but only got the "prayer" of American netizens to realize that the clown is actually himself.
There are also certain similarities between the Ukrainian issue and the Taiwan issue. For example, the two sides have a very high degree of trust in the United States before Russian tanks enter Ukraine. Therefore, it has led us to speculate about the possibility of whether today's Ukraine will be the Taiwan of the future.
However, as far as the grand plan of cross-strait reunification is concerned, what we need to pay more attention to is the essential difference between the two.
First, territorial sovereignty is different; although Ukraine and Russia have always been considered to be of the same origin, and because they once belonged to the Same Soviet Union, they have received a lot of materials and equipment after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but they belong to different countries, which is beyond doubt. Therefore, although the Russian army marched into Ukraine, in Russia's view, it is behind Ukraine's insistence on joining NATO, an act of "self-defense", still received many condemnations, Russia is also defined as an "aggressor".
On the other hand, taiwan, who belongs to China, there is no doubt that it was, is, and will be. Although the people of Taiwan are separated from the mainland by a bay, we have always belonged to the Chinese nation. Therefore, if we copy russia's current approach to Ukraine, it is to go back to the civil war before the liberation of Hainan Island in June 1950, when our own people fought our own people, which is obviously not what we want.
Second, the goals are different; the contradiction between Russia and Ukraine has turned into war, and Ukraine's accession to NATO is the fuse, just to make Ukraine abandon this plan, not to "annex" Ukraine. Conversely, as long as Ukraine chooses neutrality between the two, Russia's attitude will inevitably change.
Looking at the Taiwan issue, whether it is resolved by peaceful means or by force in the future, the purpose is to achieve one and only goal: cross-strait reunification. China is regarded by some countries and organizations as a "thorn in the eye", which is the inevitable result of China's growing strength. It also stems from this that the Taiwan issue, which has been pending, has become the existence of some countries and organizations that want to make a big fuss. Therefore, if we want to calmly face and solve some conspiracies that should not exist, the reunification of the motherland is the primary prerequisite. At that time, China can seek better and more comprehensive development.
Third, the geographical location is completely different; Russia and Ukraine have a long border line, and Ukraine's military strength can not be compared with the Russian army, there is not only the Russian army into ukraine is easy, Russia does not have to worry about the absolute advantage of logistics and supply.
Moreover, not to mention that NATO did not intend to offend Russia for Ukraine from the beginning, because of the border problem, even if some countries want to intervene, they will have to enter from the west, which will take a certain amount of time. Therefore, since the explosion of the Kiev airfield and the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the Russian offensive road along the Eastern Front has been relatively easy.
On the other hand, Taiwan is an island that exists independently, and will the United States today not offend Russia for Ukraine, and will it offend China for Taiwan in the future? Today's Ukraine has a very high reference value. Even if the United States does intervene in China's reunification plan, it will not only be subject to endless condemnation, but also in terms of distance, even if we have solved all the problems, the US military has not yet reached the Taiwan Strait.
Of course, this is the case except for air raids. After all, the Taiwan issue, rising to the point where the armed forces of two countries are about to carry out large-scale air strikes, is small for now.
The One Bay Strait has blocked many ties between the two sides of the strait, and there are many concerns about "armed reunification" in the spirit of compatriotism, but we have never promised not to use force. It's just that we prefer to solve the problem in a peaceful way. Therefore, I also hope that some eyes that are obscured by darkness and light will be able to see the light again as soon as possible.
