The Biden administration once again reversed its promise, the U.S. military quietly conducted "joint exercises" with the Taiwan military, and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs drew a "red line", which is very heavy in 8 words, so how did my Ministry of Foreign Affairs respond? In response to the collusion and provocation of "the United States and Taiwan", how did the PLA fight back?
Recently, some British media revealed that just last month, the US military and the Taiwan military quietly held a "joint military exercise" in the western Pacific, and the exercise was extremely low-key; obviously, the "United States and Taiwan" also knew that what they had done was not honorable and could not be put on the table, so they could only be carried out secretly and quietly, and at the same time, they were also afraid that Chinese mainland would have a strong reaction. In response to such acts of the "United States and Taiwan," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin clearly drew a "red line" at a regular news conference on 14 July, telling the DPP authorities that "seeking independence by force" and "resisting reunification by force" are both dead ends and doomed to failure. At the same time, he urged the US side to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques, and stop the erroneous act of military collusion between the United States and Taiwan. It is not difficult to see from the phrase "they are all dead ends and doomed to failure" that these eight-character words are obviously very heavy, and both the US Government and the DPP authorities should carefully weigh them.
It is undeniable that for a long time, whenever Chinese and US officials hold talks, the Chinese side has repeatedly emphasized its clear position on the Taiwan issue. During US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi set a rule for the US side in front of him, saying three "don'ts", that is, the US should not interfere in China's internal affairs, not suppress China's development, and not step on China's red lines concerning China's sovereignty, security and development interests. Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that the Taiwan issue is the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations. 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. In addition, the Ministry of National Defense and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council have also issued clear warnings on many occasions: "We persist in striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and with the greatest efforts." However, if the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces provoke, persecute or even breach the red line, we will have to take resolute measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity." A few US-made weapons will not bring Taiwan's security in exchange for war, but will only push Taiwan into a dangerous predicament.
In response to China's statement, the Biden administration has repeatedly reiterated its commitment to China that it "does not support 'Taiwan independence'", but the reality is that the Biden administration has repeatedly reversed its commitment to China, saying one thing that sounds good and what it looks bad behind its back. Not long ago, the US Navy's USS Halsey, a guided missile destroyer, made a high-profile voyage through the Taiwan Strait and released relevant photos to publicly hype, and this is the third time this year that a US warship has passed through the Taiwan Strait. The purpose of such a high-profile trespass by the US warship in the Taiwan Strait is obvious, and it is to send a seriously wrong signal to the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island. At present, the day when Lai Ching-te, the new leader of the Taiwan region, officially takes office, and the US side just wants to take this opportunity to hype up.
In response to the collusion and provocation of "the United States and Taiwan," Chinese mainland certainly does not only have verbal warnings, but is bound to come up with some actions that US politicians and the DPP authorities can understand. Recently, the PLA's regular patrols around Taiwan Strait have been markedly strengthened, and the number of sorties by warplanes and warships has noticeably increased. Recently, the PLA 052D destroyer Lishui (ship number 157) had a brief confrontation with the Taiwan Navy's "Chenggong-class" cruiser Zhang Qian (ship number 1109) in the waters around Penghu. And these are just a small episode in the process of the PLA strengthening the normalized patrol mission around Taiwan. In fact, it is such a "small episode" that precisely reflects the PLA's firm determination to continuously strengthen military training and preparation for war and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
