No one in the world is going to do a loss-making business. All the benefits that are given out must be in the rush to extract more benefits from there.
The U.S. got it straight to the point, with Scott Ritter, a former Marine Corps intelligence officer, hitting the nail on the head: "The U.S. treats the Philippines as a 'tool,' not a friend." A true friend won't let you fall into disaster. ”
It can be inferred from this that the United States will inevitably adopt a consistent strategy on the Taiwan Strait issue. Today, he is still "escorting" Lai Qingde's generation, and he can be dragged out tomorrow to "behead is to ask".
During this period, the US side has played its old trick again, and has just approved two batches of arms sales to Taiwan totaling about $360 million. Then, at such a sensitive point in time, the US side actually approved arms sales to Taiwan.
Lai Qingde's "Taiwan independence" remarks have already made cross-strait relations extremely tense, and this arms sale by the United States is tantamount to supporting and encouraging Lai Qingde. "Don't worry about doing it boldly, I'll be behind you."
Is the United States really selling weapons to Taiwan out of "friendship"? Naive! The arms dealers are shrewd, and their calculations are crackling. They wish that the situation in the Taiwan Strait would be tense, so that they could take advantage of the fire to loot and make a lot of money. Behind every arms sales contract, their banknotes are pouring in. But once they really started using their knives and guns, they ran faster than anyone else.
In terms of military strength, Taiwan and the PLA are not at all of the same order of magnitude. The strength of the People's Liberation Army is simply crushing. On this side, Taiwan is still counting on the "protective umbrella" of the United States, and on the other side, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has already gained the upper hand.
In the face of hard power, all sanctions are nothing more than "appetizers".
Today, what can really bring the United States and the Taiwan authorities to their senses is still military force. As the saying goes, truth only exists within the range of a cannon.
As a result, just as the United States announced its approval of the sale of arms to Taiwan, the PLA quickly launched an all-round military exercise around Taiwan and issued a circular severely punishing "Taiwan independence" elements, with the maximum penalty being the death penalty. We have already made it all clearer - any force that dares to split the motherland should wait to taste the bitter fruits of its own suffering.
Do you think that the US arms sales will keep you safe? I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin. We have told the world with our actions that the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland brook no challenge. The iron fist of the People's Liberation Army is the best warning to those who are ready to move.
Experts on the island exclaimed that the number of PLA warships and planes cruising around Taiwan is constantly increasing, and the tactics have become more complex and changeable. This time, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has played a real game, gradually building up a multi-level blockade network, and the frequency of sorties is also increasing day by day.
What is even more outrageous is that the PLA military plane actually appeared over Taiwan Island in the middle of the night, which is really a "night knight" worthy of the name.
Coast guard ships also came to join in the fun, almost "seamless cruise" around Taiwan. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has conducted frequent drills around Taiwan, demonstrating shocking military strength and firm intentions.
The current military strength of the PLA is capable of "disintegrating" all resistance of the Taiwan military in an instant, and the strategic goal of reunification of the Taiwan Strait can be achieved almost effortlessly. Thinking about this situation, how many seconds can the Taiwan army's petty fights withstand?
It's too late to turn back now, otherwise it will really be a day that should not be used by the day, and the earth will not be spiritual. Do you have to wait until the iron fist of the People's Liberation Army smashes down to know what "real strength" is?
The continuous provocations and uneasy situation have completely exhausted the patience of the mainland. Recently, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has been heating up. Every day, the news reports new tense trends, and the hearts of ordinary people hang in the air. The mainland finally decided to no longer endure it, and made a high-profile announcement that was enough to shock the world.
China will crack down on the Loma Group and its top management in accordance with relevant laws.
Why did you attack Loma in the first place? The reason is simple: this company is the vanguard of US arms sales to Taiwan and participates most frequently. The main contractor of the 66 F-16V fighters and 384 Patriot 3 anti-aircraft missiles purchased by Taiwan is Loma.
Loma still thinks he can play a balance between China and the United States? Wait, this time the mainland will give you priority, and the reason is very good. How can China sit idly by and watch such a vicious act? The black hand behind arms sales to Taiwan must always hang their hearts!
Do you still remember those bold words about arms sales to Taiwan? The US thinks it can do whatever it wants, but it forgets that China's bottom line is inviolable. Try it again?
Then wait for the unimaginable consequences. The mainland is no longer the lamb to be slaughtered, and this time, China's hardline attitude has become clear: we will not compromise, and any attempt to challenge our bottom line will be met with the harshest response.
The United States wants to engage in this set, and there is more than a simple superficial article behind it. There are three major conspiracies:
The first is to try to keep putting pressure on China in this way.
The US has always thought that by exerting pressure and provocation, it can make China bow its head on trade issues. Think about those tariffs, bans, and what is the end result? China is not moving, but it is the US companies that are complaining.
The second is to try to provoke in the Taiwan Strait to provoke "Taiwan independence" elements to continue to stir up trouble and attract China's attention. So that China will not put more pressure on the United States in other strategic directions.
With this little trick, does the United States really think that it can influence the overall situation? The U.S. calculation is to stir up the situation with the hand of "Taiwan independence" and make China tired of coping, so that the United States can easily deal with it in other fields? This hand is considered to be beautiful, but China's strategic determination and overall outlook cannot be shaken by several provocations by the United States.
The third is to continue to show strength to the allies.
The United States is playing a really brilliant game, constantly playing side-kicks on issues involving China's core interests, nominally "keeping peace", but in fact demonstrating its hegemony to its allies. Every action is to tell those anti-China countries: Don't be afraid, the United States is backing you!
This so-called "show of strength" is actually nothing more than a bluff to slow down the pace of China's development, but the result is only self-aggrandizement.
The more you lack something, the more you have to pretend to show something. Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet, one of the largest military giants in the United States, seems invincible, but in fact there is a "secret" behind it - the high-performance magnets used in its engines and flight control systems are almost all made of rare earth metals from China.
Therefore, can it be understood that the United States is "showing its muscles" to the world, but it is actually made in China? It is quite like a modern version of "Ye Gong Haolong", which keeps saying that he is guarding against China, but behind his back, he can't do without China's resources. What exactly is it proving? Is the United States "strong", or is China indispensable?
epilogue
The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and the first red line in China-US relations that cannot be crossed. Tempting? Then be prepared to face the consequences. China's red line, whoever touches it knows.
Any provocation will be met with a thunderous counterattack. The determination of the Chinese people is forged of steel, the will is unshakable, and the ability is undoubtedly strong.
