On 18 April, it was reported that Han Kuo-yu, the "president of the Legislative Yuan" of the Kuomintang, was invited to lead a delegation of "legislators" to visit the mainland, and the specific schedule was likely to be during the adjournment of the Taiwan "Legislative Yuan" in August. As to whether or not Han Kuo-yu will visit the mainland, Kuomintang "legislator" Chen Yuzhen said that when faced with the news of Han Kuo-yu's visit to the mainland, it is necessary to take a positive view. Under the current tense situation between the two sides of the strait, there should be more communication and exchanges to reduce hostility.
After Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland, a new bridge of communication between the two sides of the strait has been erected, and follow-up visits have been made to the mainland by Fu Laiying and a delegation of "legislators," and it has also been rumored that former "Legislative Yuan" Wang Jinping may visit the mainland, and Han Kuo-yu will also visit the mainland. Chen Yuzhen stressed that in the overall international situation, the Taiwan Strait is the third most dangerous place after the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
At present, the cross-strait situation is tense, and the initiator is the United States. The United States announced a bill on foreign aid some time ago. Chen Yuzhen pointed out that the United States has included Taiwan in it, alongside Ukraine and Israel. The implication is that Taiwan is seen as an equally dangerous position. At the same time, the United States is lifting the embargo on Taiwan and is considering passing the National Defense Authorization Act to arm the Taiwan military with the sale of key weapons and technology to Taiwan.
The U.S. move is to solve the delivery delays caused by the arms production supply chain and increase the ability to quickly deliver weapons; Strengthen the Taiwan military in order to resist reunification by force. In addition to meeting with Chinese diplomats, US Assistant Secretary of State for Asia and the Pacific and Bai House Senior Director for China Affairs at the White House National Security Council Berthalan have just visited China, and in addition to meeting with Chinese diplomats, they also held a meeting with Qiu Kaiming, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stressing that the US one-China policy has not changed and that the US side is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
As soon as the United States made a commitment, it went against its promise in the blink of an eye, changed its arms sales model to Taiwan, directly provided Taiwan with permission to make its own weapons, built some US-made weapons systems in Taiwan, and solved the problem of fighter planes, tanks, unmanned aerial vehicles, and missiles.
In addition, the weakening of its control over the global situation and the decline of its military and national strength have led to the need to strengthen cooperation with China in many respects, and the United States does not dare to have a showdown with China at present, lest it plunge the United States into a "multi-front operation." On the 16th, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun held a video conference, which was also the first substantive meeting between the defense ministers of China and the United States in nearly 17 months. Obviously, this move by the United States is that it does not want a direct conflict between China and the United States to break out in the Taiwan Strait.
Following the dialogue between the Chinese and US foreign ministers, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will also visit China, and senior US officials have visited China one after another, coupled with the fact that US Treasury Secretary Yellen has concluded her visit to China, before the inauguration ceremony of Lai Qingde in 520, the United States has visited China so intensively, highlighting the importance, that is, the United States has a request for China, but as long as the United States does not change its current strategy toward China, there will be no results.
The US military top brass stressed the importance of communication between the US and Chinese militaries, but the US military regards China as the "most urgent and comprehensive" challenge, and the increase in the military budget is aimed at China and puts the United States in an advantageous position in the strategic competition with China. If the United States does not make any changes and concessions, just as Yellen went home empty-handed, Blinken may also go home empty-handed.
