The US Navy has 11 aircraft carriers, and according to the information obtained by the Beacon Front Station, the US Navy currently maintains a state of combat deployment of three aircraft carriers, including one at China's doorstep. The USS CVN70 Carl Vinson arrived in the Asia-Pacific region in October 2023 and began its combat deployment on China's doorstep, during which it has already intruded into the waters of the first island chain and held joint military exercises with Japan and South Korea. In recent years, the US Navy has routinely deployed aircraft carrier strike group formations in the Asia-Pacific region, which is an active move to cooperate with the US "Indo-Pacific strategy".
According to the information released by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Navy CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier is currently cruising in the South China Sea. It is also because the US Navy is still showing off its might in the South China Sea at the beginning of the new year in 2024, which seems to give the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan Island more confidence. For a long time, the United States has been using the "Taiwan card" to try to prevent China's rise, especially when the United States wants to maintain its hegemonic status, constantly arming Taiwan in an attempt to enhance Taiwan's combat capability of "resisting reunification by force."
The U.S. Navy has previously deployed aircraft carriers in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, and now the U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group is operating in the waters of the South China Sea, and according to the "general election" plan announced by Taiwan, Taiwan will hold a vote on January 13, 2024, so it is likely that the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers will operate in the waters near the island at that time, thus trying to put pressure on the PLA. In 2023, the U.S. Navy has repeatedly put pressure on the PLA by crossing the Taiwan Strait by Aegis guided missile destroyers, highlighting the strategic intent of the United States. The United States has publicly stated on many occasions that it will not allow unilateral changes in the status quo in the Taiwan Strait through force, which in fact means that the PLA will not be allowed to unify Taiwan by force.
According to the news released by Taiwan, Taiwan sprinted for the 2024 "general election" and held the last public TV debate, during which Lai Qingde, who represented the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan and sprinted for the "general election", no longer pretended to be and openly played up "Taiwan independence". During the debate, Lai Ching-te openly put forward the so-called "disaster theory," during which Lai Ching-te called Taiwan's "Constitution" a disaster for Taiwan, and Lai Ching-te thoroughly exposed his "Taiwan independence" nature, but Lai Ching-te openly declared that he was a so-called "pragmatic worker" and not a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker" as he had previously boasted of himself. At present, Lai Qingde's partner is Xiao Meiqin, who is known as a "diehard Taiwan independence element", and Xiao Meiqin has been engaged in "Taiwan independence" work in the United States for a long time, so her partner with Lai Qingde has been called a "double independence" group.
It is not difficult to see from Lai Qingde's remarks that there is now a big gamble on the rhythm of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that it will not move, because Lai Qingde openly shouted the remark that "the two sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other," and at the same time declared that "Taiwan independence" is "owned by 23 million people on Taiwan Island," thus thoroughly exposing his "Taiwan independence" essence. Regarding the "Taiwan independence" remarks exaggerated by Lai Qingde during the 2024 "general election" on Taiwan, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has publicly responded and will resolutely smash the "Taiwan independence" behavior, thus issuing a warning to the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party.
