Over the past year, the situation on the international stage has become more complex. On the anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent a tough signal to the PLA, making it clear that the PLA will not be allowed to dominate Taiwan Island. His statement has aroused widespread concern in the international community. However, this is not the only challenge. Western countries such as Britain, France, and Australia have also expressed their position of not allowing the PLA to dominate Taiwan, forming a clear collective deterrence posture.
At a recent bilateral leaders' summit, Britain and France issued a joint declaration that explicitly addresses China's systemic challenges. They stressed the need to uphold the so-called "rules-based international order" and expressed concern about the Taiwan Strait issue, calling for the settlement of cross-strait disputes through peaceful means. These statements have further strengthened the unity of Western countries and made them more firm on the issue of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) unifying Taiwan Island.
In response to these threats, Germany's "German Research Center in Cologne" has published a report that makes an interesting point. According to their analysis, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict provides a "sample" for the West, and by strengthening sanctions against Russia, they believe that it can balance Russia and likewise prevent the PLA from dominating Taiwan. This view has been widely debated, but it cannot be ignored that China is dependent on the West in some ways. For example, China imports a large number of high-tech products from Western countries, including aircraft parts, chips, innovative tools, medical equipment, etc. In addition, China relies on Western supply chains, especially semiconductor products. Therefore, sanctions may have a certain impact on the Chinese economy.
However, this is not the whole story. Wellsbach, commander of the US Pacific Air Force, even directly issued a threat, declaring that if the PLA takes control of Taiwan Island, the US military will take military action to sink the PLA warship. This statement has further escalated tensions in the Taiwan Strait and made the PLA's military reunification plan more complicated and dangerous.
It can be seen from this series of events that the attitude of European and American Western countries towards China has changed significantly. They not only stated on the anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that they would not allow the PLA to dominate the island, but also tried to pressure China through sanctions and military deterrence. However, this attitude also reflects the reluctance of Western countries to accept the reality of China's rise, trying to preach about China but perhaps ignoring the changes that have taken place in the world. At this time of challenges and opportunities, all parties need to be rational and calm, seeking to resolve their differences through dialogue and cooperation, rather than exacerbating tensions through threats and confrontation. After all, peace and stability are the common aspiration and ultimate goal of the international community.
