Not long ago, US Defense Secretary Austin took the initiative to call the telephone line with Chinese Defense Secretary Wei Fenghe, solemnly promised to always adhere to the one-China principle, and called on China and the United States to properly manage competition and effectively control potential risks. However, less than a week after this commitment was announced, US warships suddenly appeared in the Taiwan Strait, causing the situation in the Taiwan Strait to heat up sharply and the credibility of the United States once again suffered a heavy blow.
Recently, the US Government has suspended its arms sales program to Taiwan three times, including military helicopters, artillery, missiles and other important armaments. In order to cover up the facts, the Taiwan authorities went so far as to claim that the arms provided by the United States were too expensive and the delivery time was too late, so they took the initiative to cancel the arms sales plan. However, the media quickly revealed the lies of the Taiwan side, revealing that these three interruptions were actually measures taken by the United States on its own initiative. These cancellations are not a hasty move, but the brewing of a series of more effective US strategies for Chinese mainland.
US media reported on May 7 that the US government is putting pressure on the Taiwan authorities to abandon part of their strategic layout and instead develop a number of small, mobile, and precision strikes to deal with Chinese mainland possible "invasion." To this end, the United States canceled plans to provide Taiwan with Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters, and instead encouraged Taiwan to purchase additional weapons such as Stinger missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles, on the grounds that these weapons are more suitable for military operations against Chinese mainland.
The strategic intention of the United States to use Taiwan to contain Chinese mainland has long been known, but they have previously concealed this intention. Today, however, the United States has almost made its intentions public. Previously, the US State Department's statement was to recognize the one-China principle, regard Taiwan as Chinese territory and do not support Taiwan independence. However, on May 5, this statement changed to "The U.S. policy toward one China is enduring, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, three Sino-US joint communiques, and six assurances."
The United States not only deleted the expression "does not support Taiwan independence," but also tried to dilute its commitment to "one China" in order to give the Taiwan authorities more room to maneuver. On May 6, US Defense Department spokesman Kirby said at a press conference that when Secretary Austin spoke with the Chinese defense minister, he did not clearly express his adherence to the "one-China principle", and China's report was a "misunderstanding" of the US position. Kirby also claimed that the United States "recognizes" that Taiwan belongs to China.
However, one of the foundations of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China is that the United States must recognize Taiwan as part of China. Nowadays, the United States has begun to play with words, not only shaking the cornerstone of Sino-US relations politically, but also trying to release the so-called "support" for the Taiwan authorities on the Taiwan issue, so that Taiwan has more room to play on the international stage. Especially in the context of the tension of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States deliberately contained Chinese mainland.
Against this background, it is necessary for the People's Liberation Army Chinese to show its firm determination to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland to those with ulterior motives. From May 6 to 8, the PLA's Eastern Theater organized live drills by the navy, air force, and conventional missiles, covering the sea and air fields in the east and southwest of Taiwan Island. At this time, the Liaoning aircraft carrier group was operating in the sea area and was likely to participate in this military exercise. In the same area, Japan's "Izumo" aircraft carrier and the American aircraft carrier "Lincoln" are also closely monitoring the Liaoning. If the Liaoning did participate in the exercise, it would undoubtedly be a clear warning to the aircraft carriers of the United States and Japan.
On May 6, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) dispatched 18 warplanes to conduct a combat readiness patrol around the island, most likely targeting the U.S. Navy operating in the waters east of Taiwan Island. Given the U.S. reluctance to give up its support for the Taiwan authorities and "Taiwan independence" elements, the PLA must be prepared for the worst.
Meanwhile, CIA Director Burns linked Ukraine and Taiwan, suggesting similarities between the two issues. Burns claimed that the situation in Ukraine has upset Chinese mainland, but Chinese mainland resolve to resolve the Taiwan issue will not be shaken by the situation in Ukraine, and as long as China continues to put the Taiwan issue in an important position, then China
It will remain the biggest geopolitical challenge for the United States.
This series of actions and rhetoric clearly shows that the United States is trying to play a more active role on the Taiwan issue in order to offset Chinese mainland's influence in the region and the world. However, such practices not only violate past commitments, but also undermine peace and stability in the region. No matter how beautiful the name is, the United States' attempt to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait will lead to serious consequences.
As a Chinese, I am deeply aware of the importance of unity and peace. No matter how the international situation changes, we should adhere to the one-China principle and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. History has proven that division and conflict only harm people and hinder common development. China and the United States have achieved many things in cooperation, and this cooperation should continue. We should resolve differences with an open mind, through dialogue and consultation, and jointly build a peaceful and stable international order.
All in all, the actions of the United States have not only undermined regional peace and stability, but also damaged its own credibility. In international affairs, it is essential to keep promises and adhere to principles, and any attempt to obtain short-term benefits through tossing and provocation is not worth advocating. I hope that the international community will view the Taiwan issue rationally and urge all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and achieve peaceful coexistence. Only then can we collectively create a more prosperous and stable world.
