"Those Americans who want to slow down China's development process have made mistakes, and their goals cannot be achieved," Fu Limin, a former US diplomat, said in a very calm and objective interview with a Xinhua News Agency reporter.
In the face of China's rapid development in recent years, the anxiety of certain politicians in the United States has become more and more serious, and they regard hyping up the "China threat theory" as the top priority to suppress China.
In particular, since the Biden administration came to power, it has become more and more unable to restrain its arrogant behavior of interfering in China's internal affairs, and has even openly sold arms to Taiwan in the special way of "presidential appropriation authority" and stepped up military collusion.
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to scorch, the US government and anti-China forces are still stepping up their collusion, vainly trying to replicate the model of "proxy war" in the Taiwan Strait region, and sparing no effort to exaggerate the tension in the Taiwan Strait.
Behind the United States' efforts to create a tense atmosphere, it is more of a desire to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and to achieve the purpose of waiting for opportunities to make profits, including the act of aiding Ukraine, which shows that the United States has a ruthless intention to make "war money", but in the final analysis, the United States does not want to start a war in the Taiwan Strait.
In fact, before voting in the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, Ma Ying-jeou, as the former leader of the Taiwan region, made it clear that if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the United States will not directly intervene because they do not have an advantage.
In fact, US think tanks have made many deductions in response to a war in the Taiwan Strait, among which the Center for Asian Studies of the "Heritage Foundation" has issued a warning, claiming that US military involvement in the Taiwan Strait issue will inevitably lead to large-scale conflicts and serious casualties.
In order to defend its territorial sovereignty, China will vigorously resist and expel arrogant countries that interfere in its internal affairs. ”
Second, in terms of military affairs, the United States is relatively at a disadvantage, and it is important to know that a military base close to the US military is also more than 600 kilometers away from Taiwan, which is compared with the Chinese side fighting at its own doorstep, and it will be crushed in a short time.
Even if the US military sends its proud aircraft carrier battle group, China's anti-ship missiles are not vegetarian, and if the scope of war crosses the Taiwan Strait, the risk of US survival will also be greatly increased.
Therefore, in the view of the US side, if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, their participation in it will usher in disastrous consequences, and the fact that the US think tank has deduced again and again that it has lost the battle can explain why the US has always adopted a "strategic ambiguity" attitude in the Taiwan Strait.
Former US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has made it clear that even if China and the United States go to war, they will not place the location in the Taiwan Strait, but the place where the US military can win.
The place where they can win the war may be the Indian Ocean, which has an important strategic position, which not only controls the existence of important shipping lanes in the world, but also plays a role in directly affecting the Eurasian continent, where the United States has long been prepared to claim hegemony.
Looking at the development of the United States over the years, we will find that it has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the navy, and now it also has its own fleet bases on the global sea routes, and the Indian Ocean is the sweet and sweet spot in the eyes of the US Navy.
In fact, in 1995, after the establishment of the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy, it undertook the task of fighting independently in the direction of the Indian Ocean.
The main task of this vanguard is to maximize the benefits of the United States in the Indian Ocean, and the large amount of oil produced in the Middle East is enough to make people excited, not to mention that they have to be transported around the world through the Indian Ocean.
Looking at the past, it is not difficult to find that the US military is vainly trying to build the Fifth Fleet into a "just role" in maintaining order in the Indian Ocean, and in fact it is indeed moving closer to this aspect, but this also proves that the contradictions in the Middle East are continuous, and the United States' participation in it is not innocent.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not a wise way to settle regional disputes by military means alone, but the United States does not care so much, all they have to do is to cover their military strength in the Indian Ocean and even the far ocean, and what they are pursuing is the status of "hegemon".
In addition, the United States has a very important integrated military base in the Indian Ocean, and the Diego Garcia base plays an important role, which can take off and land long-range heavy bombers such as the B-52 and B-1.
Before the Iraq War, the United States had successively deployed six B-2A stealth strategic bombers here, which is the treasure of the US Air Force, and it can also be seen that Diego Garcia is located in the Indian Ocean to the US military.
In the eyes of the United States, as long as the battlefield is not on China's doorstep, its chances of victory will be much greater, and if a battle breaks out in the Indian Ocean, they will quickly get logistical supplies from their allies, and China's defensive missiles will also be limited by long-range defenses.
It has to be said that the wishful thinking of the United States has played very beautifully, if China does not meet the war, then the sea traffic will be blocked by the US military, and the only thing that can break the situation must be to strengthen its military strength while broadening the direction of China's energy imports.
However, judging from the situation, the United States will not act rashly, and aside from China's current military strength, China and the United States are also related countries that affect the whole body, and the outbreak of war is bound to cause rapid regression in the development of various fields, and the economic aspect is the biggest point of consideration.
Focusing on the present, the United States has shown a friendly attitude toward China on more than one occasion on the surface, but facts have proved that it is one thing on the surface and one thing behind the other, and the Taiwan issue is a microcosm.
The Biden administration is even more duplicitous, on the one hand, it is shouting for a friendly alliance with China, and on the other hand, it is engaged in illegal unilateral sanctions against Chinese companies, including in April this year, according to US media reports, the number of sanctions against Chinese companies hit a record for the government.
It is undeniable that there is indeed competition between China and the United States in some areas, and although cooperation in trade has been strengthened in recent years, the US policy toward China is still very tough in science and technology, and it has not shown the slightest sincerity to interpret the mutual help they say.
However, the cruel words put down by the United States are really ridiculous; if there is a war, how can they be allowed to have the final say; with the continuous improvement of the mainland's science and technology and weaponry, the international discourse power is also increasing day by day, and the United States, which is known as the "beacon of freedom," has long lost its luster.
I only hope that the US side will clearly recognize the reality as soon as possible, and that only through mutual cooperation can major powers achieve steady and long-term results, and blindly engaging in petty actions behind the scenes is not the work of a gentleman, and in the end it will only harm others and itself, and end up with a chicken and a flying egg.
