At a time when cross-strait relations are so tense, the US "Extreme News" actually looks at the hilarity and does not think it is a big deal, and makes inappropriate remarks that "Taiwan is likely to already possess nuclear weapons."
This is an unscrupulous means to obtain traffic, which is really dismissive!
Let's not talk about where their nonsense comes from, if Taiwan really has nuclear weapons, can the United States really sit idly by?
Otherwise, as early as 34 years ago, why did the United States rack its brains to obstruct Taiwan's development of nuclear weapons?
Taiwan developed nuclear weapons, and the United States obstructed them
With the explosion of China's first atomic bomb, Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan could no longer sit still, and if he continued to "stand by and watch", his ambition to counterattack the mainland would sooner or later be shattered (although it was an indisputable fact).
At first, Chiang Kai-shek first blew the wind in the ears of the United States and encouraged them to blow up the mainland's nuclear weapons research base, but China's possession of nuclear weapons has become an established fact, and the United States does not dare to act rashly.
In desperation, the old Chiang Kai-shek could only find another way, and in order to counter the mainland's nuclear threat, he decided to develop nuclear weapons on his own.
However, as early as 1955, Taiwan signed an agreement with the United States, and Chiang Kai-shek's nuclear weapons development project could only be carried out quietly behind his back.
At the behest of Chiang Kai-shek, Taiwan established the "Zhongshan Institute of Science" and the Institute of Nuclear Energy, and later, with the help of nuclear energy companies, further established the "Taiwan Research Reactor".
Seeing that the development of nuclear weapons was getting smoother and smoother, Chiang Kai-shek was even more confident, and with an additional investment of 50 million yuan, he signed a contract with the German Siemens Company and purchased nuclear fuel reprocessing equipment from the latter.
But at this time, the United States finally discovered Taiwan's small moves and sent a delegation to Taiwan to investigate.
Taiwan is such a big place, even if people with hearts want to cover up the facts, but they are also more than enough and insufficient, soon, a series of laboratories in Taiwan were discovered by the delegation, and Taiwan was warned by the United States.
Although Chiang Kai-shek has always regarded the United States as a patron, he has not listened to everything.
On the surface, he pretended to promise the United States that in the future he would certainly be honest and honest and no longer think of fighting nuclear weapons, but in fact, he did not restrain himself in the slightest, and what to do.
Of course, the United States is not a fool, nor does it trust Chiang Kai-shek so much, and sent spies to Taiwan, and Zhang Xianyi is one of them.
Zhang Xianyi was originally used by Chiang Kai-shek, who knew that it was not so easy to develop nuclear weapons, and this was not something that could be accomplished by touching his lips.
To this end, he had to cultivate talents in related fields, and Zhang Xianyi was selected to study nuclear engineering in the United States at this time, however, during this period, Zhang Xianyi was rebelled by the United States.
The US Intelligence Bureau took a fancy to Zhang Xianyi, and under repeated persuasion, Zhang Xianyi eventually became a "pawn" of the United States.
In fact, there is another important reason why Zhang Xianyi chose to betray, that is, he also knows that China must be one China, and Taiwan is developing nuclear weapons to oppose the mainland.
As a result, Zhang Xianyi, who had become a "spy," successfully returned from his studies and was heavily used by the Taiwan authorities, who entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and let him shoulder the heavy burden of developing nuclear weapons.
However, the Taiwan side never expected that Zhang Xianyi would deliver news to the United States while working, and when the development of nuclear weapons on the Taiwan side reached the final stage, the United States knew that the time was ripe and it was time to break through this layer of window paper.
So in December 1988, at the behest of the United States, Zhang Xianyi left Taiwan with relevant confidential information and boarded a plane to the United States.
Subsequently, Zhang Xianyi appeared in court as a personal witness, confirming the fact that Taiwan developed nuclear weapons, and as a result, Taiwan's nuclear weapons development project was officially scrapped, and decades of painstaking efforts were destroyed.
After hearing the news, Chiang Ching-kuo had a heart attack and passed away.
The United States will not allow Taiwan to possess nuclear weapons
Netizens who understand this past, combined with the current cross-strait situation, can't help but say: If Zhang Xianyi had not succeeded in preventing Taiwan from building a nuclear weapon by single-handedly, cross-strait relations would have been complicated now.
Not really.
Even if Taiwan had nuclear weapons, it would not pose much of a threat to the mainland.
Recently, countless experts and scholars have already made comparisons with the military strength of the two sides of the strait, and looking at them all the advantages of the PLA, on this gap, Taiwan's "slag army" still wants to compete with the mainland's PLA.
And China has long stated that it will never take the lead in using nuclear weapons against any other country.
Taiwan is China's territory, this is an indisputable fact, but in this statement, it naturally includes Taiwan, even if Taiwan has nuclear weapons, "criminals" want to use this to reject "reunification", then it needs to first consider, Taiwan is such a big place, can withstand the mainland's nuclear strikes?
I am afraid that the Taiwan authorities are well aware of this.
Last year, some US media already included Taiwan in an area with nuclear potential, and after hearing the news, the Taiwan authorities immediately panicked and immediately issued a statement using the "three noes."
The Taiwan authorities said: There is no plan to develop nuclear weapons, and the Taiwan military insists on not producing nuclear weapons, not developing nuclear weapons, and not acquiring nuclear weapons and related technologies.
Not only that, but the Taiwan authorities have even accused the US media of being purely empty-minded.
It can also be seen from this that although the Taiwan authorities have always pursued the practice of "relying on the United States for independence" and "resisting reunification by force," they are not stupid and are very clear about what it means for Taiwan to have nuclear weapons.
That's why we are so anxious to make our position clear.
What's more, Taiwan's possession of nuclear weapons is simply a fantasy.
If Taiwan has the idea of developing nuclear weapons again, not to mention that the mainland is bound to interfere in it at the first time, that is, the United States, they will not allow Taiwan to successfully develop nuclear weapons.
At that time, the US side sent Zhang Xianyi to block Taiwan's development of nuclear weapons because of the influence of the international situation.
Relations between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union continued to deteriorate, and just as the so-called enemy of the enemy was my friend, the United States frequently began to show goodwill to China in order to achieve confrontation with the Soviet Union.
Under such circumstances, the Taiwan issue will also become a chip for the United States to ease relations with China, and it is bound to not watch Taiwan develop nuclear weapons and affect its "friendship" with the mainland.
With continuous development, today's international situation has undergone tremendous changes, completely showing a different appearance, it can also be considered that China stands in the position of the former Soviet Union and has become the number one thorn in the eyes of the United States.
As a result, many netizens are worried that in this case, it will be difficult to guarantee that the United States will not jump the wall and help Taiwan develop nuclear weapons in one go.
Although there is no guarantee, what is certain is that Taiwan's development of nuclear weapons will not be of much benefit to the United States.
Throughout history, we can see that Taiwan has always been a card in the hands of the United States.
For the United States, Taiwan's independence and non-reunification are the best situation, because only in this way can the United States continue to profit from it, and the United States has done the same for so many years.
In 1972, the United States manipulated Taiwan to achieve containment and blockade of the mainland, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the Taiwan issue became a bargaining chip between the United States and China.
Even today, the United States is still talking about the Taiwan issue, and no matter what the relationship between the United States and the mainland, the United States can gain benefits from it, and this is what they are most concerned about.
If relations with the mainland are eased, then they will pinch Taiwan; If they want to balance the mainland, then they will loosen the shackles on Taiwan.
And to keep this balance in order to maintain this balance, it is first necessary to ensure that Taiwan is within their control, which is why the United States will interrupt the inheritance rights of the third generation of the Chiang family, because Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo are not "obedient" and have begun to violate the Yin and Yang of the United States.
Assuming that Taiwan does have nuclear weapons, will it be willing to be subject to the United States? Can the United States easily control Taiwan?
Obviously not, will the United States, which has always been authoritarian, let this happen?
The answer, of course, is no.
In addition, Taiwan's most important thing is its military dependence on the United States, spending a lot of money on the procurement of military equipment, and once Taiwan has nuclear weapons, this income of the United States will shrink or disappear in an instant.
The United States, which has always been interested in profits, is certainly not willing to do this money-losing business.
The mainland has the ability to prevent Taiwan from making nuclear weapons
Even if the United States is anxious and wants to support Taiwan in developing nuclear weapons, how can the mainland sit idly by?
China and the United States have long signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and once the United States takes the lead in violating the treaty, the mainland can take the same measures to counteract.
The spread of nuclear technology to countries hostile to the United States, over the years, the United States has offended many countries, among which many countries are actually at the threshold of nuclear weapons, such as Iran.
Therefore, as long as the United States dares to take a dangerous step on the Taiwan issue, the mainland will treat itself in its own way.
As a result, the global nuclear deterrence balance will be broken, and the first to be threatened will be the United States in the encirclement.
Moreover, the Cuban Missile Crisis is a living example.
At the beginning, in order to maximize the nuclear deterrence of the United States, the Soviet Union built a missile base in Cuba, and after the United States discovered it, it immediately imposed a comprehensive blockade on Cuba, and finally under the threat of the United States, the Soviet Union gave up the idea of shipping nuclear weapons to Cuba.
And if the United States dares to emulate the Soviet Union's approach and try to ship nuclear weapons to Taiwan, the mainland will retaliate, because Taiwan has always been a core interest of China.
In fact, the United States does not even dare to deploy nuclear weapons to Japan and South Korea, which are closer to the mainland, so how can it have the courage to ship nuclear weapons to Taiwan?
More importantly, once Taiwan has nuclear weapons, it will mean the beginning of war against the mainland, and it will only speed up the process of the mainland's armed reunification of Taiwan, thus justifiably recovering Taiwan.
As early as the 1970s, China had laid out three red lines for armed reunification of Taiwan: Taiwan's declaration of independence, the production of nuclear weapons, and the occupation of foreign forces.
These three red lines are still applicable today, so as long as Taiwan dares to eat the bear's heart and leopard and dare to touch one of them, it will only face the mainland's military suppression.
To sum up the various reasons mentioned above, it is impossible for Taiwan to possess nuclear weapons, and it is even more unrealistic for Taiwan to try to use nuclear weapons against the mainland.
Therefore, here, the author also exhorts those "Taiwan independence elements" and the crowd who are uneasy and kind to watch the liveliness, hoping that they can stop this idea as soon as possible, otherwise they will only suffer the consequences.
The Taiwan issue has really been delayed for too long, and with the development of the times, the author is also worried that more and more people will forget the history of Taiwan, which belongs to China.
To this end, while strengthening the sense of historical identity of Taiwan compatriots, the author also hopes that Taiwan will return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible and realize the reunification of the motherland.
At that time, it will not be so easy for someone to exploit the loophole, and it will eliminate a lot of trouble from the source.
