Everything South Korea has done this year is to cooperate with the actions of the United States in the Taiwan Strait, and wants to follow the United States to fish in troubled waters! However, South Korea should be clear about the sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait and its own strength, South Korea has no reason to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, let alone have the qualifications and strength to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait! South Korea must admit that China has the strength to defend the country's territorial integrity, and the People's Liberation Army is fully capable of defeating any external interventionist forces! If South Korea is obsessed and intervenes in the Taiwan Strait with the United States, or uses this as an excuse to confront China, then South Korea will become a pawn of the United States and become cannon fodder for the United States!
Since taking office, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue has been committed to strengthening the US-ROK alliance, the United States has constantly provoked China in an attempt to consolidate the hegemonic position of the United States in the world by suppressing China, and the relevant actions of the South Korean government have also brought serious negative impacts on China-South Korea relations. The South Korean government's series of provocative actions not only infringed on China's interests, but also brought considerable losses to South Korea, and China has issued a strong warning, but from the current overall situation, it still wants to cooperate with the United States to provoke China on the issue of China.
In May, South Korean President Yoon Seok-hyeol said in a public speech that China must change its neutral stance on the peninsula and immediately follow South Korea's lead in imposing sanctions on North Korea, or South Korea will take tough measures against China.
Not only that, Yoon Seok-yue also held talks with US President Biden during his visit to the United States, and the two sides reached consensus on many issues, and said that the United States and South Korea expressed strong opposition to unilateral military means to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and will work to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region. His speech has already made his position clear, and he also wants to interfere in Taiwan affairs and infringe upon China's territorial sovereignty.
At this juncture, there was new news that 10 South Korean fighters in active service landed in Taiwan on May 30, and said that the main reason was "transit refueling", which is undoubtedly nonsense.
In recent years, the United States has continuously extended its tentacles on the Taiwan issue, provided Taiwan with a large amount of arms, and dispatched 200 American soldiers to Taiwan in April this year in an attempt to train the Taiwan military. Since the withdrawal of US troops from Taiwan in the seventies of the last century, the United States has never dared to touch this bottom line, that is, the US military fighters in active service have never landed on the island of Taiwan. The United States did not dare to do this, but South Korea did!
On February 20 this year, one C-130 transport aircraft and nine F/A-50 combat trainer aircraft of the ROK Air Force landed on Taiwan Island, and on March 2, one A-330 tanker and two C-130 transport aircraft of the ROK Air Force landed on Taiwan Island. On May 17, 9 T-50 trainer planes and 2 C-130 transport planes of the ROK Air Force landed on Taiwan Island, and on May 30, these 11 ROK military aircraft landed on Taiwan Island again! Regarding the reason why the South Korean military landed on the island of Taiwan four times in three months, the South Korean side gave an explanation, that is, these military planes that went to other countries to participate in air shows had to land on the island of Taiwan to refuel due to lack of fuel during the flight.
This reason of South Korea, at first glance, is an excuse, and it is not valid at all!
First of all, Taiwan belongs to Chinese territory, South Korean military aircraft landing on the island of Taiwan and South Korea and Taiwan Province civil aviation landing on the island of Taiwan are two different things, if the South Korean military aircraft to land on the island of Taiwan to refuel, must first submit a formal application to China, after China's approval, South Korean military aircraft can land, and these four times South Korean military aircraft landed on the island of Taiwan, South Korea did not make a formal application to China.
Secondly, South Korea's four landing military aircraft on the island of Taiwan is indeed to Australia and Malaysia to participate in air shows, according to the range of F/A-50 fighters, if you want to fly from South Korea to Australia and Malaysia, you must refuel halfway, but South Korea can choose from many places, such as Thailand in Southeast Asia, such as Ryukyu Island in the East China Sea.
They can even apply to the mainland to refuel them at airports on our southeast coast, but the South Korean plane chose to land in Taiwan, that is, South Korea is taking this opportunity to escalate the situation in the Taiwan Strait to provoke Chinese mainland.
It is absolutely no coincidence that South Korean military aircraft landed four times in Taiwan, this is intentional by South Korea! Since the beginning of this year, South Korea has made a big fuss on the Taiwan Strait issue many times, South Korea and the United States and Japan colluded together to issue a so-called joint statement of "opposing unilateral changes to the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and not allowing China to solve the Taiwan issue by force", even some time ago, the South Korean president publicly stated that "the Taiwan issue is not only China's problem, but also a global problem" Taiwan is China's territory, the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair, and South Korea's move is a serious provocation to the mainland!
The main reason for the continuous tension in cross-strait relations in the past two years is that external forces colluded with the DPP authorities in Taiwan in an attempt to obstruct China's reunification of the two sides of the strait in order to achieve the goal of containing China. However, the PLA has repeatedly conducted military exercises in the "sea and air space" near Taiwan Island, and the frequency of various military operations has also increased significantly. Not only that, Chinese Defense Minister and State Councilor Li Shangfu also recently expressed his opinion on this.
China's defense minister made three resounding points: First, China will still do its utmost to strive for peaceful reunification! Second, China will never allow the Taiwan authorities to seek independence by coercing foreigners, nor will it allow external forces to use Taiwan to contain China! Third, China will never give up the option of using force to resolve the Taiwan issue!
The Chinese defense minister's statement that "the Taiwan authorities will never be allowed to seek independence by coercing foreigners, nor will they be allowed to allow external forces to use Taiwan to contain China" is undoubtedly a clear warning to South Korea and other countries, and at the same time draws a red line on the Taiwan Strait issue for some countries with ulterior motives! China will never allow foreign countries to use Taiwan to contain China, nor will it allow the Taiwan authorities' attempt to seek independence by coercing foreign countries to succeed! China's warning is already clear, now it depends on whether South Korea can stop in time!
Li Shangfu stressed: Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests. We insist on striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and utmost efforts, but we will never allow the DPP authorities to "coerce foreigners to seek independence" and external forces to "use Taiwan to contain China," and we will never promise to renounce the use of force. China must and will be reunified. China will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
