Against the backdrop of the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict continuing to spill over and the Houthis confronting the multinational fleet in the Red Sea, the United States has not taken measures to cool down the international and regional situation, but has instead tried to stir up trouble in the mainland's periphery.
According to reference information on 25 January, the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" has arrived in the waters near the Korean Peninsula and has assembled with the "Carl Vinson" and "Reagan" aircraft carrier strike groups, which have been active in the western Pacific region for a long time, to form a three-aircraft carrier group.
After deploying troops, the United States immediately launched a provocation against the mainland. According to a report on the official account of the "Eastern Theater" on January 25, the US Navy destroyer "Finn" sailed through the Taiwan Strait and openly hyped it. The Eastern Theater organized troops to follow and monitor the US ships throughout the whole process, and dealt with them in accordance with laws and regulations.
The intrusion of US warships into the Taiwan Strait has brought more adverse effects on Sino-US relations. Recently, the United States has frequently carried out provocative acts in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, not only forming a so-called "joint patrol" formation with the Philippine Coast Guard to carry out so-called "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea of the mainland;
An agreement was also officially signed with Japan on the sale of 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles. According to the Japanese government's description, the 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles will be deployed in Japan's southwestern islands and other places to deal with possible "emergencies." Anyone can see that this move by the United States and Japan is intended to demonstrate to the mainland.
Now, the US warship has trespassed into the Taiwan Strait, sending a wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island and inducing the "Taiwan independence" elements to go further and further down the road of "relying on force to seek independence and relying on foreign countries to gain self-respect." In the face of serious provocations by the United States, the mainland acted quickly.
Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the mainland's Ministry of National Defense, confirmed on 25 August that the Eastern Theater has organized joint combat readiness patrols of naval and air forces in the sea and air space around Taiwan Island to further enhance the troops' actual combat training level and enhance their ability to fight a war to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will organize relevant military operations on a regular basis and continue to train and prepare for war.
The current routine combat readiness patrol in the Eastern Theater is a direct response to the collusive forces between the United States and Taiwan. It should be pointed out that at the same time that the US ship broke into the Taiwan Strait, the US think tank published a survey result, saying that in the next five years, the possibility of Chinese mainland's "isolation or blockade" policy on Taiwan Island is far greater than that of military reunification.
In this regard, Senior Colonel Wu Qian stressed: We persist in striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and with the greatest efforts. If the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces break the red line, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will have to take resolute measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The regular joint combat readiness patrols of naval and air forces organized by the Eastern Theater have sent a clear signal to the collusive forces of the United States and Taiwan. As a matter of fact, the United States has already arranged a series of actions to strengthen US-Taiwan collusion, which is also an important reason for our side to make the red line clear.
Not long ago, Taiwan completed regional elections. Judging from past experience, the United States will send a so-called "delegation" to Taiwan every time this happens, and this time is no exception. According to the latest information, the United States plans to send a bipartisan visiting team with former US Deputy Secretary of State Stanberg and National Security Adviser Hadley as the core to meet with the DPP and high-level Taiwan military leaders.
Former US Deputy Secretary of State Steinberg is a Democrat, and National Security Adviser Hadley is a Republican.
According to the US Government, the Taiwan Strait region needs to "maintain the status quo," which undoubtedly seriously interferes with the mainland's internal affairs. A few days ago, Liu Jianchao, director of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, made clear to the US side his attitude at a commemorative event in New York marking the 45 th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
Minister Liu Jianchao stressed that China takes seriously the US remarks that it does not support "Taiwan independence" and hopes that the US side will abide by its commitments. After Minister Liu Jianchao's action, the mainland embassy in the UK also made clear China's attitude to the outside world.
According to a report on the official account of the "Chinese Embassy in the UK" on January 25, the mainland's ambassador to the UK, Zheng Zeguang, delivered a speech on the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and other issues, saying that China will resolutely thwart any interference by external forces at all costs.
This series of actions by the mainland has already sent a clear message to the world that the mainland will not allow any external forces to interfere in the mainland's internal affairs, and any attempt to undermine the mainland's reunification will not succeed.
