#香山论坛反 "independence" voice to promote reunification attracted attention#The meeting between US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has attracted widespread attention. During the meeting, Biden once again expressed his position on the Taiwan Strait issue and opposed unilateral changes to the status quo by force. Surprisingly, however, Albanese did not say anything about it.
This may be due to his upcoming visit to China, and Australia does not want its stance on the Taiwan Strait issue to affect the upcoming bilateral meeting between China and Australia. It also highlights the Australian government's attempt to soften the confrontational atmosphere and return to a situation where economic and trade priorities are put back. The US Government's stance on the Taiwan Strait issue is not new.
In fact, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed on February 24, 2023, that the Taiwan Strait is not China's internal affair. This shows that the United States is using the "Taiwan card" to prevent China's rise and constantly weaken the strength of the "one-China policy."
Although the United States stresses its adherence to the "one-China policy," it continues to provide weapons and equipment to Taiwan. For example, the United States exported 66 F-16V Brock 70/72 batch fighters to Taiwan, and provided supporting tracking/targeting pod systems and other weapons and ammunition.
In addition, the US military is also trying to set up an emergency arsenal on the island to provide Taiwan with a large amount of consumed ammunition, including bullets, artillery shells, and anti-tank systems, in advance. Recently, the United States has stepped up its military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. According to open source information, the US Navy has sent two aircraft carriers to the Asia-Pacific region to build a strong deterrent capability.
Among them, the CVN76 USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is not only deployed in the South China Sea, but also frequently appears in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, while the CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier has also arrived in the Asia-Pacific region and actively cooperated with the USS Reagan to enhance the comprehensive combat capability of the US Navy. This series of actions shows the importance that the United States attaches to the Asia-Pacific region. The United States has tried to contain China's rise by strengthening its military presence in the Taiwan Strait, increasing military assistance to Taiwan, and strengthening cooperation with allies such as Australia.
However, such an approach could lead to a further increase in regional tensions and even unforeseen consequences. In the face of this situation, all parties should resolve their differences and disputes through dialogue and cooperation. Only by treating each other as equals and respecting each other can we truly achieve peace and stability in the region.
Against the backdrop of international tensions, Taiwan announced on October 31 that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) used 23 warplanes to conduct joint naval and air exercises in the Bass Strait and the sea and airspace east of Taiwan Island on the same day.
This is also another obvious move by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in recent maritime activities. The PLA demonstrated its powerful counterattack capabilities in this operation, including advanced fighters such as the J-16 and H-6K/J and YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missiles. At the same time, the PLA can also use missile destroyers equipped with YJ-21 anti-ship ballistic missiles to directly deter the US Navy's aircraft carrier strike group formation.
The PLA aircraft carrier Shandong is also being deployed in the western Pacific, which provides more guarantees for the PLA to build a strong deterrent capability.
It can be seen that the PLA has the capability of "anti-access and area denial", and has sent a clear signal to the world with its actions. In the current international situation, the PLA's actions this time are of great significance. First, the PLA has demonstrated its powerful counterattack capabilities, showing the international community that we will not sit idly by, but are capable of defending our sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Second, the PLA's joint naval and air exercises have also shown that we are not just a land power, and that our military strength has extended to the sea and air, and has more deterrent power. Finally, the PLA's action also sends a clear signal to the outside world that China will not tolerate any form of provocation and aggression, and we will resolutely safeguard our national interests and territorial integrity.

Of course, behind the powerful actions of the PLA, we also need to pay attention to the reality of international tensions. The security situation in the Indo-Pacific region is becoming more and more complex, and the United States is deploying more and more military in the region, which has brought great challenges to China's national security. Therefore, we need to continue to strengthen our national defense capabilities and ensure our national security and stability by continuously improving our military capabilities.
