The past August was not peaceful, first Lai Qingde repeatedly attacked the United States, begging the United States to intervene in the Taiwan situation so that Taiwan Province could secede from the mainland and become the so-called "Taiwan State" in order to become the so-called "Taiwan president."
After that, in order to crack down on the arrogance of the Taiwan independence elements headed by Lai Qingde and safeguard the country's territorial integrity, the mainland began a military exercise to encircle Taiwan.
It can be said that in the past period, the Taiwan issue was the most acute political issue facing the mainland. This has also led many people to the idea that "as long as it successfully recovers Taiwan, China will no longer face difficult problems in the Asia-Pacific region."
But is that really the case? Is the mainland's predicament in the Asia-Pacific limited to the Taiwan issue?
Japan-South Korea reconciliation
On March 1 this year, the current South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue made a shocking remark on South Korea's "March Day Independence Day", which caused an uproar in South Korea.
That is, Yoon Seok-yue openly stated that he would change Japan from "the role of an aggressor in past history to a partner in the present" and that the Korean people would "forget the hatred of the past and look forward."
It should be known that the "March Day Independence Day" in South Korea attended by Yoon Seok-yue is a anniversary established by South Korea to commemorate its liberation from Japan's militaristic rule.
Yoon Seok-yue said such a thing in this activity, which naturally made a certain Korean people unacceptable. But these remarks also clearly signal to the outside world that "the South Korean government wants to improve relations with the Japanese government."
So how did the Japanese government respond to this? Japan's current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida arrived in South Korea on May 7 for a two-day state visit.
Obviously, Kishida Fumio also responded to the political signal released by Yoon Seok-yue with practical actions, and Japan and South Korea seem to forget the past unhappiness and reconcile.
As we all know, in the complex international relations of the five East Asian countries, China, Japan and South Korea all depend on each other. The great reconciliation between Japan and South Korea this time is not a good thing for China.
First of all, there is no need to talk about the relationship between the mainland and Japan, which can be described as a national hatred that cannot be forgotten. In addition, since Fumio Kishida came to power, the right wing in Japan has gradually become arrogant, and at the G7 summit, he openly demanded that Japan and the G7 should intervene in the Taiwan issue.
Second, the South Korean government has constantly stirred up anti-China sentiment among the masses internally, and openly meddled in the Taiwan issue like the Japanese government.
Originally, due to the anger and resentment that Japan had done in Japan, the relationship between South Korea and Japan was not very harmonious, but in response to the clear and clear "cooperative anti-China" of the current Japanese and South Korean governments, discerning people can see that behind all this is the handiwork of the Americans.
Since 2009, when Hillary Clinton proposed the "return of the United States to the Asia-Pacific" strategy, the United States has been working to sow discord between China and its neighbors and curb China's power expansion.
And Japan and South Korea, which have always had a long-standing grudge with China, have naturally become pawns of the United States, not to mention that the United States has military bases in both Japan and South Korea.
The Taiwan Strait issue, the THAAD issue, and so on have the participation of the Americans, and the attitude of the United States is obvious, that is, it is necessary to regulate Japan-ROK relations and let them form a "solid front" against China in the United States.
It can be seen that in the future, the disputes between China and Japan and South Korea will only increase, not decrease.
Southeast Asia and the South China Sea
The 2016 South China Sea arbitration put China's relations with the Philippines at a freezing point. The so-called South China Sea arbitration is when the Philippine government "claims" that Scarborough Shoal is the territory of the Philippines and has a territorial dispute with China.
Subsequently, the then Philippine President Benigno Aquino III appealed to the so-called "International Court of Arbitration", and finally China solemnly stated to the world that it would not recognize the verdict and would not accept it.
Southeast Asian countries' covetousness for the South China Sea is not a matter of one or two days. Among these Southeast Asian countries, the Philippines is the "most popular dancer".
It should be known that the South China Sea, as the largest sea area among the four seas on the mainland, contains quite rich natural resources.
According to a 2012 survey report by the Mainland Land and Resources Bureau, the amount of oil in the South China Sea reached a staggering 20 billion tons, which is only a conservative figure. In addition to this, there is about 20 trillion in natural gas.
With such huge energy reserves, the whole of Southeast Asia is salivating, and oil and gas are the backbone of today's energy, and no country can get rid of them.
The Philippines is naturally no exception, and the turmoil over Ren'ai Reef dispute provoked by the Philippines some time ago has not yet subsided. The dispute between the mainland and the Philippines over the ownership of Ren'ai Jiao is not a matter of the last year or two.
Since 1999, China and the Philippines have been arguing over the ownership of Ren'ai Jiao. The new Philippine President Marcos first asked the US military to increase the US military bases in the Philippines, and then provoked China in many ways to cater to the United States.
summary
For China, there is definitely more than one Taiwan issue facing the political problem it has to face today. As long as China is developing, the United States will never stop encouraging China's neighbors to provoke China, and the issues around it are almost exclusively territorial disputes.
The issue of territorial disputes has always been the most sensitive issue in various countries today, and it is also the most complex issue. The United States instigating Asian countries to engage in territorial disputes with China cannot be described as vicious.
It is necessary to know that the ownership of territory involves the most fundamental interests of all countries, and there is no need for too much interference by the United States, and the provoked Asian countries will very actively trip up China as long as they are supported by the United States.
After all, in the eyes of these countries: winning, a million profits; If you lose, you don't lose. Therefore, there are still many problems that China will face in the future, and it can only be said that there is a long way to go.
