Immediately following the United States playing the "Taiwan card", British Foreign Minister Teras threatened to make Chinese mainland "abide by the rules".
Two days ago, US Secretary of State Blinken talked about Taiwan again. What he said was that the United States wants to equip Taiwan with a capability to protect it from "aggression," which obviously points the finger at Chinese mainland.
As soon as British Foreign Minister Ms. Teras sang a harmony, she expressed the same attitude at a dinner party, that is, "NATO wants to become the global NATO" and NATO wants to "protect Taiwan from intrusion." She then took the opportunity to threaten, "Chinese mainland learn to follow the rules."
This Us side has just played the Taiwan card, that is, the card has not yet fallen, and the United Kingdom has become a heel of the United States, and has also played the Taiwan card. To say that this British Foreign Minister Ms. Teras, in fact, earlier on the Xinjiang issue, especially the Hong Kong issue, there were many tough tones toward China, and she was even called an "anti-China leader."
The reason why we specifically talk about the issue of Hong Kong is because britain's mentality has not yet been corrected, and it still feels that Hong Kong is a British colony, and it is still pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks about Hong Kong's affairs. Now I have changed my direction again and talked about Taiwan.
In fact, in April this year, we noticed that the British warship Richmond crossed the Taiwan Strait, and it is not to say that it is a low-key past, when the British media was hyped up. Why? In fact, it is brushing the British global presence.
Britain, a country that used to be a very crazy empire where the sun never sets, but now that the sun has set, they are not willing. Therefore, after Brexit, its most important diplomatic direction is to become the Britain of the world, no longer the Britain of Europe. The British felt that in this way, the influence was greater, and the sphere of influence reached the whole world.
As a result, the United Kingdom is becoming more and more active in the world, looking for global hot spots, which is of course the Ukraine problem. Therefore, everyone has also seen British Prime Minister Johnson, who has also been very positive on the Ukrainian issue. Then there is the US Indo-Pacific strategy, which is a long-term diplomatic focus of the United States, then Britain must also find its power point in the direction of the Indo-Pacific, so it has found China and found the "Taiwan card".
Therefore, now the United Kingdom is actually still using the "Taiwan card", or some other cards, to brush its sense of international presence, but also to show loyalty to the United States. Because the United States still has to find more allies from all over the world, to see who can cooperate better if they obey. Then in the future, it will also get some benefits for that country.
For example, Britain, first of all, Augustus, the United States, Britain, Australia three countries, the same Anglo-Saxon military system has been established. However, in the Taiwan region, the United Kingdom previously felt that it was still absent, and the heat of Taiwan was high enough that playing the "Taiwan card" could bring more "benefits" to the United Kingdom. Of course, this "benefit" is still a quotation mark.
This incident will definitely have a very negative impact on Sino-British relations, so this time the British foreign minister still played this card. In this process, it has also really been shown that Britain is still very arrogant, high,000, and nakedly threatening Chinese mainland have to learn to "follow the rules.".
Then there is the globalization of NATO, this time by the British Foreign Minister, for the first time so bluntly, so nakedly. Originally, NATO was limited to Europe, and now everything in the world must be mixed and intervened, and this is not a concrete play and embodiment of US hegemonism in NATO?
It has to be pointed out that in such a process, can the UK find its true presence and really be able to get the international community to recognize its approach? I am afraid that on the contrary, the little brother of the United States is still a little brother after all, and the glory of the empire that does not set in the sun has passed, and it is difficult to come back after the past.
