The recent Russian-Ukrainian conflict has made many countries begin to reflect on their shortcomings, for example, India has summed up the lesson of "we must use indigenous weapons to fight future wars" from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In addition, European countries have also begun to find ways to improve their military strength. However, the United States wants to take advantage of the situation in Russia and Ukraine to "teach China a lesson" in an attempt to prevent China's reunification.
According to reports, in a video dialogue held by a certain research institute of the US Air Force Association a few days ago, The air force commander of the US Pacific Command, Welsbach, fabricated "three lessons" in an attempt to take advantage of the situation in Russia and Ukraine to warn China.
In this dialogue, Wilsbach preached the strength of the United States and its allies while at the same time singing about the decline of the Sino-Russian partnership. He said that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the advantages of the United States and its Pacific allies have gradually emerged, while the joint activities between China and Russia have decreased significantly.
He also said he hoped China would learn "three lessons" from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, one of which was that the international community would oppose any country's "unwarranted attacks against its neighbors," and that Russia had been subjected to economic sanctions for such behavior.
Willsbach said he hoped That China would recognize that if it took similar actions against its neighbors, it would be strongly responded to by the international community, and countries would unite against similar acts in all regions.
The second is that as long as there is an "unwarranted attack" in the Indo-Pacific, the countries of the region will unite against such actions. Even if there is currently no such organization as NATO in the Indo-Pacific region, if there is an "unprovoked attack", countries will form an "Indo-Pacific version of NATO" or similar temporary organization.
The third is to hope that China can see the huge losses suffered by Russia from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and understand that topographical factors will make it difficult to achieve the goal of "aggression".
Although Wilsbach did not name names, it can be seen from his words that what he is saying is some practical actions that China may pay to complete the reunification.
Obviously, he wants to use the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to warn China to abandon the use of special means to complete reunification, in other words, he and the strength behind him are trying to prevent China's reunification, but this is obviously impossible.
In fact, since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the international community, especially Western politicians and media, have repeatedly compared the Taiwan issue with the situation in Ukraine in an attempt to confuse the public and interfere in China's internal affairs.
However, the Chinese side has stressed at the outset that the situation in Ukraine and the Taiwan issue are not the same thing at all. The situation in Ukraine is a matter between Russia and Ukraine, and a peaceful solution requires the efforts of both sides.
However, the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and no matter what way China adopts to complete reunification, other countries are not qualified and should not interfere in this matter, so it is unrealistic for the international community to unanimously oppose it.
Second, China has always been very friendly to its neighbors. On the contrary, the United States is struggling with its "Pacific neighbor" because of its own strength.
Therefore, China does not need to worry about being jointly opposed by neighboring countries. Instead, the United States should worry about whether it will be unanimously opposed and condemned by other countries.
As for the failure caused by the terrain problems that Wilsbach said, it is even less likely to happen in China. The main reason why the Russian military's special military operations in Ukraine exceeded expectations was not the terrain problem, but the assistance of Western countries to Ukraine.
It is reported that since the outbreak of the conflict, Western countries have provided Ukraine with billions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment and other military materiel. But even so, Ukraine has far lost far more than Russia.
The situation in China is completely different, Not only is Taiwan small in size, but the strength of the Taiwan military is also very worrying, and it is not an opponent of the People's Liberation Army at all.
If Wilsbach had a good understanding of China's topography and history, I am afraid he would not have said such an ignorant thing. On the Taiwan issue, China has always reminded all countries to remain sober and not to interfere in China's internal affairs.
However, the United States has always ignored China's opposition and interfered in the Taiwan issue, either explicitly or implicitly. During the recent high-level Meeting between China and the United States in Rome, the Chinese side has clearly expressed its position and attitude to the US side, hoping that the US side can clearly understand the seriousness of the Taiwan issue, otherwise the Chinese side will certainly take effective measures to safeguard its own interests.
