According to the Global Times, not long ago, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, held several rounds of meetings with Sullivan, the US president's national security adviser, in Malta.
Wang Yi stressed that the Taiwan issue is the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations, and the US side must abide by the three Sino-US joint communiques and implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence." China's development has a strong endogenous driving force, which follows the inevitable historical logic and cannot be stopped, and the legitimate development rights of the Chinese people cannot be denied.
At this meeting, Foreign Minister Wang Yi once again drew a "red line" on the Taiwan Strait issue, and at the same time pointed out a way out for the US side. If the US side can make some restraining moves in the next two months, the possibility of a meeting between the two heads of state remains. Otherwise, in the face of the United States, which cannot fulfill its promises, China's visit to the treaty will just waste time.
The Taiwan issue is an issue that China will never compromise or make concessions, and it is also one of the most important issues affecting Sino-US relations at present. In order for the United States to abandon its unrealistic illusions, China must make it clear to the United States that only when the United States implements the relevant commitments and strictly abides by the "one-China" principle can China discuss other issues with it.
Recently, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning announced that the two major companies of US military industry giants Boeing Defense and Raytheon have been included in China's sanctions list, which is not only a legitimate safeguard of the legitimate rights of the mainland, but also a practical action to show the United States our tough attitude: China's sovereignty cannot tolerate any infringement and interference by foreign forces. Now Foreign Minister Wang Yi's mention of the "red line" is another warning to the United States.
Of course, the reason why the US side is willing to talk is certainly not because it has changed its nature, but because it is afraid. Hyams, a member of the US House of Representatives, has said that he is worried about the war between China and the United States. "I did hear something that scared me because I heard on both sides about undisclosed intentions to attack each other," he said. And Hyams's voice is not alone in the United States, and even presidential candidates have expressed their worries about a war between China and the United States.
As one of the most important bilateral relations in the world, China-US relations will continue to influence the direction of the world. We should bear in mind that peace and cooperation are the main themes of the international community and that dialogue and communication are the key to solving problems. Although the future of China-US relations is still full of uncertainty, we are confident that through the efforts of both sides, we can jointly address challenges, achieve the goal of win-win cooperation, and push the world towards a more stable and prosperous direction. The current international situation is too complicated, and the words and behaviors in each diplomatic activity are only an expression at this stage, not the final result of the incident, and international affairs often involve more and more aspects, and the next decision needs to be considered in all aspects, and the two sides meet and talk, only to explore each other's attitude or solve the urgent problem first, and then carry out deeper thinking.
According to Taiwan media reports, on the 17th, 103 PLA military aircraft carried out activities around the Taiwan Strait, a record high. In addition, PLA ships and long-range fire units also had activities, resulting in the "alarm bells" of the entire Taiwan Air Force and missile bases on this day. The Taiwan media sighed that it was "too alarming", and the island interpreted the PLA's move one after another, some people thought it was to deter Taiwan to respond to the United States, while others thought it was a regular exercise of the PLA, which may not necessarily send a special political signal to Taiwan. Mainland military experts believe that instead of guessing the PLA's intentions, Taiwan should review itself.
In addition to these two record-breaking actions, more than 20 warships and Shandong ships of the three major military regions of the mainland have recently gathered in the western Pacific for exercises, which Taiwan media called the PLA's "largest joint naval and air training" in the western Pacific. With so many record-breaking military operations being intensively staged in half a month, it has to be said that the situation in the Taiwan Strait has reached an extremely tense moment, and it can be seen from these military exercises that the mainland may really be about to attack Taiwan.
At the Foreign Ministry's regular press conference, spokesman Mao Ning made it clear that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory and there is no so-called "middle line of the strait." He stressed that this matter does not involve diplomatic issues and suggested that relevant parties learn about the specific situation from the Chinese competent authorities. Through an in-depth interpretation of the PLA's fighter activities around Taiwan, we can more clearly understand the background, significance and possible impact of this move. Under the current complex and changeable situation in the Taiwan Strait, rational and objective analysis of the situation of all parties is of positive significance to maintaining regional stability and peace.
