Just as the world's attention is drawn to the Conflict in Ukraine, the U.S. government is trying to create new incidents in the Asia-Pacific region. On April 7, according to a number of media disclosures, Pelosi, president of the US House of Representatives, will lead a delegation to visit Taiwan on the 10th of this month.
The news quickly spread internationally, and some reactionary forces with bad intentions rejoiced and announced that a major readjustment had taken place in the US strategy toward Taiwan. As for the US government's use of mainland sovereignty, Chinese people were extremely angry, and the official level reacted quickly.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the United States' blatant trampling on the "one China" red line is a malicious provocation to China's national sovereignty. At the same time, he stressed that this move has sent an extremely dangerous signal to the outside world, and if the United States insists on going its own way, the Chinese side will certainly make a resolute response, and all the consequences will be borne by the United States.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the United States had new news. On the evening of the 7th, Pelosi's spokesperson revealed that Pelosi's trip to Asia has been postponed due to Pelosi's positive covid-19 test.
As soon as the mainland issued a stern warning, she was positive, I am afraid it is not so coincidental, the US government found itself under the steps of the clumsy performance, suddenly became people's laughing stock. However, while the crisis is over, it is also necessary to see that the matter is far from over, because the United States can claim that Pelosi's physical condition has returned to normal at any time, and then continue to advance the visit plan.
This reminds us that the situation in the Taiwan Strait is far more complicated than it seems on the surface, and the United States is always looking for opportunities to test the mainland's reaction on the Taiwan issue. Therefore, it is necessary to reassess the new trend of the United States on the Taiwan Strait issue in the current situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
First of all, Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a fire reconnaissance of China's bottom line by the United States. In the course of decades of dealings between China and the United States, the Taiwan Strait issue has always been a core topic that cannot be avoided. We have stated our position countless times, and no country in the world has let China negotiate and explain it over and over again like the United States. So the U.S. government knows China's position better than anyone.
Under these circumstances, however, it intends to arrange for the speaker of the House of Representatives to visit Taiwan Island for the first time in 25 years to directly challenge the red line. If the visit is reached, it will send a signal to the outside world that the United States has changed its position on Taiwan, which will be a great encouragement to the separatist forces, and the next step is not to rule out declaring support for "Taiwan independence."
However, it can also be seen from the fact that the United States immediately found an excuse to postpone the visit that they are not sure what kind of counterattack china will make. Therefore, the United States has adopted the method of first letting the wind test, then observing the reactions of all parties, and then re-adjusting its strategy to deal with it. In other words, if China's opposition is not firm enough, Pelosi's visit will proceed as scheduled. If our retaliation hits the sore spot in the United States, it will be fun to cancel this trip to Asia.
Washington's tactics seem clever, but they also expose their own bottom line, and under the confrontation, the United States quickly turned, indicating that they hold a serious speculative mentality on the Taiwan issue, far from being "unbreakable in the friendship between Taiwan and the United States" as they claim on the surface.
Second, this incident reflects that even if the Ukraine crisis breaks out in full swing, the strategic focus of the United States will remain on China. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict of the past month or so has brought great psychological shock to all countries in the world, and many people's concepts of international rules have been broken. There is a view that the continuous increase in sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia means that the attention of the United States has turned to Eastern Europe, and we can get a breather.
Based on this view, the United States is unlikely to embarrass China on trade, finance, technology and other issues at least in the short term, but these people still underestimate the Biden administration's determination to suppress and contain the mainland's development.
In recent times, the United States' financial suppression of Chinese stocks, its diplomatic efforts to woo ASEAN, and its military strengthening of cooperation with Britain and Australia have all proved that the Attention of the United States has never taken away from us for a moment. This time, Pelosi, as the third person in the US government, did not hesitate to personally provoke the Taiwan Strait issue, which further proved that taking China as the biggest opponent is the unanimous consensus of the two parties in the United States.
In addition, it must be noted that even at the global level, the US encirclement of China has not relaxed for a moment. A case in point is that the Biden administration has been trying to tie China to Ukraine. On the Ukraine issue, China has always maintained an objective and neutral attitude and actively mediated to resolve the crisis, but the United States has always smeared China on this matter and tried its best to put a black hat on us.
Under the hype of the United States, the European Union has also reached a similar position with the United States because of the Ukraine incident, trying to pressure China and force China to take sides. If the United States and Europe reach strategic coordination, the diplomatic situation toward China will become extremely unfavorable, but at present, China has resisted this pressure, adhered to its position, and resolutely did not collude with it.
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and if they return to the matter of Pelosi's premeditated visit to Taiwan, if you only look at the matter itself, you may mistakenly think that this is just an independent event. However, from the overall situation, we will see the layout of the United States against China in the Taiwan Strait region, the Asia-Pacific region, and even the world, and the visit to Taiwan Island is only one of the most dangerous provocations under the layout of the United States.
However, on the Taiwan Strait issue, we have no room for compromise and concessions; if Pelosi insists on ignoring dissuasion, the PLA may be ready for further reaction; if the Taiwan authorities or the US military dare to provoke or even take the initiative to fire the first shot, once the gun catches fire, the mainland will immediately take decisive measures to promote the reunification process in advance.
