During the administration of former South Korean President Moon Jae-in, the South Korean government was cautious about choosing sides between China and the United States, advocating a balance between China and the United States, and did not want to offend either side. After the current president of South Korea, Yoon Seok-yue, took office, although he did not explicitly side with the United States, there are signs that South Korea is moving closer to the United States.
South Korean military aircraft landed on Taiwan Island four times
As everyone knows, playing the "Taiwan card" today is the main means for the United States to contain China. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and if the United States wants to intervene in the Taiwan issue, it naturally wants to "internationalize" the Taiwan issue and let more and more countries with the same position as itself go to the Taiwan Strait region to disrupt the situation. To this end, the United States began to coerce and induce its allies, Japan began to constantly shout that "if there is something in the Taiwan Strait, it is something that happens to Japan", while South Korea has taken a dangerous step to cater to the United States and Japan.
Earlier, Yin Xiyue openly said that the Taiwan issue is not a problem to be solved by the two sides of the strait itself, but a "global problem" like the Ukraine issue. South Korea has also repeatedly pandered to the United States, publicly expressing its opposition to Chinese mainland change of the "status quo in the Taiwan Strait" one after another.
The current "status quo in the Taiwan Strait" is that the situation in the Taiwan Strait is becoming more and more tense, and now it is choppy, and all this is caused by the continuous collusion between the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external interference forces such as the United States, and the responsibility does not lie with Chinese mainland.
Our Defense Minister emphasizes 3 "never"
Against the background of the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait, South Korea has made another provocative move. Recently, 10 military aircraft from the ROK Air Force flight demonstration team landed at an airport on the island. It is reported that before that, these military planes had just gone to Malaysia to participate in speeches. According to Taiwan media reports, the reason why these military planes landed at the island's airport was to replenish fuel halfway to ensure that the military aircraft had enough fuel to go to Australia.
It is worth noting that since August last year, South Korean military planes have landed at airports on the island four times on the grounds of "refueling." Some analysts pointed out that South Korea's approach is extremely dangerous, South Korea can choose to refuel and resupply at the US military base in the Philippines, not have to refuel in Taiwan, and South Korean military aircraft are obsessed with refueling in Taiwan, which may be fueled by the United States.
In this regard, Li Shangfu, State Councilor and Minister of National Defense, clearly pointed out during his recent visit to Singapore that 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 "seek independence by coercing foreigners," will never allow external forces to "use Taiwan to contain China," and will never promise to renounce the use of force.
