The Ministry of National Defense issued the strongest voice of unification and began to exert military pressure on Taiwan
Over the past decades, Chinese mainland has been a staunch advocate of peaceful reunification and hopes to resolve its differences with Taiwan through peaceful, rational and constructive means. However, the DPP authorities and external forces have been sabotaging peace in various ways and trying to create tension between the two sides of the strait, which has made the hope for peaceful reunification increasingly slim.
In the face of this situation, China's Ministry of National Defense recently issued a strong statement expressing the Chinese Government's firm stand on the Taiwan issue. The Ministry of National Defense stressed that China's reunification is a general trend of history and cannot be stopped by anyone. It is an indisputable fact that Taiwan is part of China. At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense has also made it clear that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and any attempt and act of splitting the country will be resolutely counterattacked.
The statement of the Ministry of Defense is a warning to the authorities of the United States and the DPP. In recent years, the United States has frequently sent warships through the Taiwan Strait to send wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island in an attempt to provoke confrontation between the two sides of the strait. The DPP authorities, on the other hand, continue to promote "de-Sinicization" education in an attempt to sever the historical and cultural ties between Taiwan and the mainland. China's Ministry of National Defense's statement is intended to deter these forces and warn them not to continue their provocations, otherwise they will bear the corresponding consequences.
In response to the recent passage of the US destroyer "Finn" through the Taiwan Strait, Chinese mainland has taken measures to follow and monitor the whole process and organize naval and air forces to conduct joint combat readiness patrols. This is a direct warning to the United States that China will not tolerate any form of provocation and aggression. At the same time, it also demonstrates to the world China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The statement of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense is not only a warning to the US and DPP authorities, but also a starting gun for military pressure on Taiwan. Realizing that there is little hope for peaceful reunification, the Chinese Government has begun to prepare for the initiation of the process of armed reunification under extreme circumstances. This means that the Taiwan Strait region will face greater military pressure and uncertainty.
In general, Chinese mainland's position on the Taiwan issue is unwavering. Although the hope for peaceful reunification has become dim, the Chinese Government will still do its utmost to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. However, if external forces continue to interfere and provoke, China will have to take the necessary military action to defend the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Under such circumstances, the Taiwan Strait region will face unprecedented challenges and changes.
The U.S. military is keeping an eye on China, and the United States will lose in a war in the Taiwan Strait?
In today's world, the situation in several regions is in turmoil. The smoke of war pervades some countries, and the Taiwan Strait region is one of the focus of global attention. The United States has always seen China as its primary challenge, and has pursued a pivot to the Asia-Pacific since the Obama era, intensifying military and political pressure on China.
Pentagon spokesman Air Force Major General Pat Ryder said in a recent media interview that the United States has not distracted from China despite the wars raging in other parts of the world. He stressed that the United States is not mobilizing Indo-Pacific Command resources to respond to crises in other regions, but is focusing its main efforts on dealing with China. This statement once again proves that the United States is deeply concerned about China and recognizes its primary challenge.
Since the Obama era, the United States has been strengthening strategic deployment and military cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The United States has not only strengthened its military alliances in the Asian region, but has also strengthened the arming and training of its allies in various ways. During Biden's tenure, the United States has further intensified its military threat to China, not only strengthening military cooperation with Japan, South Korea and other countries, but also trying to win over other Asia-Pacific countries to join its camp of containing China.
It is worth noting, however, that while the United States has intensified its military threats and political repression against China in the Asia-Pacific region, its strategic operations in other parts of the world have suffered successive failures. For example, in the Russia-Ukraine war, although the United States supported Ukraine, it did not change the development of the war. In the Middle East, the U.S. crackdown on the Houthis has not achieved the expected victory, but has instead made the group a major security hazard in the region. Still, the United States has not distracted itself from China, nor has it removed a single soldier from the Asia-Pacific region.
In contrast, China, as the world's largest industrial power, has strong industrial manufacturing capabilities and war potential. China's manufacturing output has surpassed that of traditional industrial powers such as the United States, Japan, and Germany combined, giving China a significant advantage in terms of war potential. Whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment, ammunition production or logistical support, China is able to quickly mobilize and produce the materials and equipment it needs.
To sum up, the thinking of the United States is still stuck in the period of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, trying to contain China's development through military threats and political suppression. However, in the face of China's strong industrial manufacturing capacity and war potential, the United States cannot win a war in the Taiwan Strait region of China. If the United States continues to use its past experience to deal with China, it will eventually face the fate of failure.
