According to Taiwan media reports, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced the latest batch of arms sales to Taiwan on December 15 local time, with a total estimated amount of $300 million, aimed at strengthening Taiwan's "self-defense capability".
The U.S. Department of State has approved the sale of up to $300 million in latest military supplies to Taiwan to maintain the lifecycle of its so-called Information Security Program Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C4) systems, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said. This includes previously procured multi-purpose MIDS-LVT terminals and Joint Tactical Intelligence Distribution System (JTIDS) equipment, as well as spare parts, repair parts, technical assistance, and logistical support.
The reason why the United States is doing this is probably to promote the military integration of the United States and Taiwan on the disaster-stricken islands. According to the current US arms sales to Taiwan, including the sale of various communications facilities and other military elements, he is building this Taiwan military into a pocket US military. Moreover, major changes are taking place in terms of capabilities, including the establishment and data link connection with the Indo-Pacific Command, so if the existing weapons and equipment of the United States can be used, the current principles of the United States' tactics are highly consistent with the military on the island of Taiwan, and it is convenient to command the Taiwan military in wartime.
Second, it is very obvious that if we want to turn Taiwan into a "disaster island," there will be so many weapons and equipment that will make Taiwan very inflated, especially if there are different drills and provocations, if they are further increased. It is really like the island saying that this Taiwan island will be turned into a bomb island, and once the cross-strait combat operation is triggered, then the ordinary people on Taiwan Island will be the biggest victims of the entire combat operation. Therefore, if the Taiwan authorities are bound to drag Taiwan into a disaster. Pushing this "disaster island" status will certainly meet with opposition from the people on the island. The intention of the United States in doing so is to use Taiwan to contain China in the traditional way, and to "seek independence with the United States" and "protect independence with force" by arming the island of Taiwan. At present, in the South China Sea, the United States is instigating the Philippines to provoke, and then, in the Yellow Sea, including the East China Sea, Japan and South Korea are also making various small moves. If there are more actions on the island of Taiwan, and multiple points are connected to each other, in fact, the linkage effect it will form is what the United States values the most, and when it comes to great power competition, the United States will use the encirclement and then through these other provocative actions to gain US superiority and contain China.
The mainland government immediately issued a statement in response. 1. The Ministry of National Defense strongly condemns the US arms sales to Taiwan and points out that it is interference in China's internal affairs. 2. "Using Taiwan to contain China" is doomed to failureThe Chinese government stresses that the strategy of "using Taiwan to contain China" is doomed to failure. China will resolutely defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity and will not tolerate interference by any external forces. At the same time, the Chinese Government has warned the Taiwan authorities that "seeking independence by force" is a dead end. Any attempt to secede the country will be severely sanctioned.
IV. China's Position and Determination 1. The one-China principle. The Chinese Government has always adhered to the one-China principle, which is the universal consensus of the international community. It is an indisputable fact that Taiwan is part of China. 2. Safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. China will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and will not allow any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist acts. 3. Efforts for peaceful reunification. The Chinese Government will continue to persist in realizing cross-strait reunification through peaceful means, but at the same time reserves the right to take all necessary measures.
And the mainland will make a stern counterattack on this matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it would counteract enterprises that sell arms to Taiwan, and the United States received a warning. Our countermeasures need to be further effective, such as patrolling around the island, seizing illegal arms trade, driving away foreign ships or sinking provocative ships, and joint naval and air force patrols. The turnkey project operation model of Party B's advance capital is widely adopted in China, of course, it has also pitted contractors and suppliers at all levels, and this model should also be adopted as much as possible for US procurement projects, which can effectively control and even crack down on the supply chain of US companies. If the poisonous sore of Taiwan independence is not surgically removed, it will only become more and more painful, and when the poisonous sore attacks, it may be life-threatening.
The US arms sales to Taiwan are interference in China's internal affairs and seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three Sino-US joint communiques. The Chinese Government strongly condemns this and stresses that "using Taiwan to contain China" is doomed to failure and that "seeking independence by force" is a dead end. China will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and realize the complete reunification of the motherland.
