Recently, the United States, Japan, and the Philippines are preparing to hold a trilateral summit, and the intention behind this may be related to interference in the Taiwan region.
Tang Hua attended the ceremony of the US military
It has been learned that Tang Hua went to the United States to attend the ceremony of handing over the command of the US Pacific Fleet.
The U.S. Congress approved the promotion of Pacific Fleet Commander Paparo to Commander of the Indo-Pacific Command, and the current Chief of Staff Steve Kohler took over Paparo as Commander of the Pacific Fleet.
Of course, Tang Hua went to the United States not only to attend the handover ceremony, but also to express his loyalty to the United States on behalf of Lai Qingde on the occasion of Lai Qingde's inauguration.
During Tang Hua's visit to the United States, the United States invited Taiwan to participate in the so-called Rim of the Pacific military exercise, and also mentioned the "joint island defense concept."

Part of the plan is to strengthen coordination among the first island chain strongholds in the Taiwan region, Japan and other places to achieve the goal of jointly confronting the PLA.
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, expressed her criticism of the United States and the Democratic Progressive Party.
It is extremely irresponsible for the United States to concoct various concepts and use various pretexts to strengthen its military ties with China's Taiwan region. The mainland resolutely opposes any official exchanges and military ties between the United States and the Taiwan region.
At the same time, he urged the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and to implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence". Stop sending any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
The DPP's act of colluding with external forces to "seek independence by force" is bound to fail.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attended the meeting in the United States
It is also worth mentioning that during Tang Hua's visit to the United States, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also arrived in the United States for a state visit.
A highlight of Kishida's trip is to attend the trilateral summit of the United States, Japan and the Philippines on April 11. Marcos and Kishida both said that they have high hopes for the trilateral summit.

Undoubtedly, this meeting has a very high amount of "China", and it is inevitable that China will be mentioned many times.
On the one hand, the South China Sea is their main topic, and on the other hand, the Taiwan Strait is also the subject of their discussion.
Before the meeting, Kishida said that any behavior that undermines the rules-based international order will not be allowed, a remark that clearly pointed to China and showed a tendency to intervene in the Taiwan Strait issue under the leadership of the United States.
At present, Taiwan is one of the key points of the US strategy.
The so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" of the United States, according to which the United States is responsible for supplying Taiwan with military equipment.
U.S. President Joe Biden has publicly stated that the U.S. will send troops to protect Taiwan, although the U.S. White House has also reiterated its stance of abiding by the "one-China policy." U.S. arms support for Taiwan reflects its strategic intent to maintain the so-called "status quo."

Japan also said that "if there is something in the Taiwan Strait, it is something in Japan," and Marcos also publicly stated that "if there is a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, it will be difficult for the Philippines to stay out of it."
It is clear that these three countries want to meddle in their internal affairs.
The United States, Japan, and the Philippines are military allies of each other, and the United States has military bases in Japan and the Philippines.
In short, there are signs that the situation in the first island chain has changed.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) intends to raise the storm in the Taiwan Strait
Combined with the recent actions of the Taiwan authorities, it is very likely that they were deliberate.
Originally, the Taiwan authorities planned to conduct a live-fire exercise in Kinmen from 2 April to 25 April, which at first glance was aimed at a possible landing attack by the PLA.
However, at the outset, the Taiwan side insisted that there was no special intention for this move, and on the day of the exercise, it suspended the live-fire exercise for fear of provocation.

Subsequently, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) planned to conduct a live-fire exercise on 15 and 16 May at Dongyin Island.
Equipped with radar, ground-to-air missiles, and anti-ship missiles, Dongyin Island is the first line of defense for the DPP's ambition of "resisting reunification by force" and is of great strategic significance.
Moreover, after the exercise, Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony began, saying that there was no attempt and it was difficult to convince people.
The DPP has gone to great lengths to push up the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
However, the actions taken by the mainland side have changed, and although military planes and warships are still patrolling the Taiwan Strait normally, the number of times the mainland has crossed the so-called "center line of the strait" is relatively small.
This is the goodwill of the mainland, and the DPP should be aware of it.
Moreover, Ma Ying-jeou is visiting the mainland recently, and the mainland side intends to ease cross-strait tensions.
But if the DPP does not cherish the mainland's goodwill, then what awaits the DPP is not just as simple as the flight of military planes and warships. If the mainland is truly angered, the end of "Taiwan independence" will come.
In the face of the joint actions of the United States, Japan, and the Philippines, China obviously did not have such patience and acted directly, and the Southern Theater organized joint patrols in the South China Sea, and the Eastern Theater also carried out patrols in the Taiwan Strait. It demonstrates the PLA's confidence and determination to safeguard the territorial integrity of the motherland.
In short, in 2024, the mainland's policy on Taiwan has been decided, and the mainland resolutely opposes "Taiwan independence" and external forces' interference in the Taiwan Strait, and their fate can only be decided by the mainland in the end.
