The situation in the Taiwan Strait may change, and the United States continues to make provocative moves related to Taiwan. What is the basis for the Australian media's claim that China is not afraid of the United States and that a new world order will be born?
In the past few days, the US provocation drama involving Taiwan has been staged again, first the US House of Representatives passed a foreign aid bill worth $95 billion, which has been signed into law by President Biden, which includes the provision of military funds and weapons support to the Taiwan region. Its purpose is obvious, that is, it wants to continue to play the "Taiwan card" and "use Taiwan to contain China" to contain Chinese mainland. In addition to providing assistance to the Taiwan region, the United States is also doing its utmost to send a seriously wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island. Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement saying that the U.S. strongly encourages the WHO to invite Taiwan to participate in this year's World Health Assembly as an observer. Obviously, the so-called statement by the US side is deliberately to confuse the public, and in essence it is to condone and support "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and use the World Health Assembly to hype up Taiwan-related issues.
So will the already turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait change as a result of this deliberate stirring up and provocation by the United States? On this point, a recent comment by the Australian media can be said to have given the answer, and the Australian media believe that China is actually not afraid of the United States, but the United States is not aware of this. Because the United States will only look at China from the perspective of "world hegemon competitors", in order to maintain its global hegemony, the United States will do everything possible to suppress and contain China, and the "Taiwan card" is an important bargaining chip that the United States considers important, but if the United States tries to observe China from an angle other than "world hegemon competitors", perhaps it will not think so, at least let the United States see clearly that it is in the "Sino-US confrontation" In the process, China is not afraid of any threat from the United States, and can reverse the various threats and warnings of the United States to China, so that the United States will fall into passivity.
For example, take the so-called "China's aid to Russia" topic that has been frequently hyped up by US politicians recently on the issue of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the fundamental purpose of the US hype up such topics is to prevent close exchanges between China and Russia and undermine normal trade cooperation between China and Russia. Previously, Blinken even threatened China with a choice between "moving away from the West and stopping supporting Russia." During Blinken's visit to China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry released a bombshell news: "Russian President Putin is expected to visit China in May this year." Not only that, a Chinese business delegation recently visited Crimea and is preparing to establish a network of automotive technical services there, and plans to build a cultural center, including a hotel. Clearly, the U.S. threat has done nothing for China.
The reasons for this are actually very simple: First, the normal trade between China and Russia is above board, conforms to WTO rules and market principles, and is not subject to external interference and coercion; second, China is not the maker and party to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the United States is vainly trying to use the Russia-Ukraine conflict to create a topic to coerce the mainland, and the mainland will never accept it. Finally, and most importantly, China is a sovereign country, and it is its own right to engage and cooperate with whomever it wants, and neither the United States nor any other country has the right to interfere in this. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: China does not accept threats and intimidation. Obviously, today's world order is not the "world order" that relies on US hegemony to engage in "one-word talks." A new world order will eventually be born, and the United States cannot stop it, and this "new order" is a new order in a multipolar world, and every sovereign country has the right to speak for itself.
Against this background, the United States is vainly trying to use the "Taiwan card" to force China to submit, which is obviously unrealistic, and China will never make concessions on such an issue concerning national sovereignty. Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed categorically during his meeting with Blinken that the Taiwan issue is the first red line in China-US relations that cannot be crossed. All the US needs to do is to earnestly fulfill President Biden's commitments that it will not support "Taiwan independence", "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan", and will not use Taiwan as a tool to contain China, stop arming Taiwan, and support China's peaceful reunification.
