Recently, the United States has become more and more unscrupulous in its provocation and containment methods against the mainland. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a Taiwan-related bill, which includes $8.1 billion in aid to Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific and $1.9 billion in military aid to the DPP authorities. U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Aquilino openly said that Taiwan is short of troops, and it should learn from Israel's mobilization system, which can mobilize 360,000 people to fight in at least one day, and the United States will continue to implement its support for Taiwan.
The US military is making more and more blunt demands on Taiwan, forcing Taiwan to implement the system of "all the people are soldiers and rapid mobilization"! Aquilino wants Taiwan to learn from Israel. All Israelis are soldiers, ordinary people in peacetime, and soldiers when they wear military uniforms. To put it bluntly, the United States wants to let the Taiwan military be a "meat shield" and stand at the forefront of the US resistance to China, and this battle must be fought by Taiwan. This is the so-called "proxy war", where Taiwanese people fight for the United States.
In the face of constant provocations by the United States, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng delivered a speech at Harvard University, openly drawing a red line for the United States. The first red line of competition: Chinese are not afraid of competition, but the United States itself wears advanced running shoes, but only allows others to run in straw shoes or barefoot. Dialogue and cooperation must be mutually respectful and mutually beneficial.
The second red line: The one-China principle is a red line that cannot be crossed, and cutting sausages and crossing the red line on issues involving China's core interests is to rush at a high speed on the edge of a precipice, and no matter how many "guardrails" are erected, it may not be able to hold the bottom of the relations between the two countries. China will not engage in hegemony, "a strong country must be hegemonic" is not China's DNA, and China is neither Athens nor Sparta.
Ambassador Xie's remarks hit the nail on the head. Every sentence is in place, and every sentence is sonorous and forceful, and it goes straight to the heart of the United States! However, during Ambassador Xie Feng's speech, some unpleasant things happened. Several students with "Taiwan independence" and "Tibet independence" backgrounds openly made a scene, and even contemptuously claimed that China wanted to attack "my country, Taiwan." Happily, these students and others were cleared out one after another, but due to the disturbance caused by the relay of four young people, Ambassador Xie Feng's speech was delayed for 45 minutes.
Recently, the United States has been forced by the Russian-Ukrainian war and the strategic pressure in the Middle East, so it has accelerated its tactical provocations against the mainland in the Asia-Pacific region. They are trying to take advantage of the Taiwan, South China Sea, East China Sea, and North Korea issues to create a tense atmosphere, provoke war, and drag the mainland down. Especially in the South China Sea, the Philippines is even more unscrupulous, kicking its nose in the face, and looking like it is determined that the mainland does not dare to make a move.
In this regard, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) once again took continuous action to deter and warn all forces organized by the United States. A few days ago, in response to the Philippine provocation in the South China Sea, the United States sent an aircraft carrier squadron to the waters near Ren'ai Jiao to support the Philippine provocation. And the mainland directly sent 2 054A frigates and an electronic reconnaissance ship to insert them into the US aircraft carrier formation, and the close-face output scared them away.
In the direction of the Taiwan Strait, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) dispatched at least 10 sorties of military aircraft and 6 warships on the 22nd, approaching Taiwan's "territorial waters and airspace." On the 20th, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) flew 21 sorties, 17 of which crossed the "center line of the strait" and 14 sorties of rare "north-south attacks", approaching Keelung and Kaohsiung for only more than 40 nautical miles. The high density, the short time, and the proximity of the distance have once again refreshed the historical record of this year.
In addition, on the 22nd, a close confrontation broke out between the Taiwan Navy's "Chenggong-class" cruiser "Zhang Qian" (1109) and the PLA 052D destroyer "Lishui Ship" (157) in the waters west of the Penghu Islands. In this regard, Taiwan's puppet "foreign minister" Wu Zhaoxie was very worried in an interview with New Zealand media, saying that "at present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense, and Chinese mainland may attack Taiwan at any time."
Some Taiwan media issued an article saying that the current strategy of the United States is to make every effort to prevent the expansion of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the escalation of the Israeli-Iraq conflict, because stabilizing Europe and the Middle East can prevent the mainland from waiting for opportunities to take strategic actions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. At this moment, Taiwan must be careful not to become a pawn of the United States in its attack on China, calculate the risks more carefully, and prepare for the worst in the hope of the best.
In response to the joint provocation of the United States and the Philippines, the top level of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has publicly warned, "We will not cause trouble, and we will never be afraid of it!" and once the United States intervenes in the Russian-Ukrainian war on a large scale, or fights with Iran, it will be a strategic opportunity for us to take back Taiwan and resolve the South China Sea issue. On the 21st, the United States once again provided large-scale military aid to Ukraine and Israel, which is a clear signal! In other words, it will not be long before Wanwan and the Philippines are bouncing, and it may be this year at the earliest, and next year at the latest.
