The concept of "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China" is supported and recognized by the vast majority of countries around the world (the world, led by Russia, supports China in defending the integrity of its sovereign territory), but for the United States, this concept seems to be "ambiguous". On the one hand, the US Government has provided military assistance to Taiwan through various "arms sales" and strengthened the military strength of Taiwan's reactionary clique; on the other hand, the US Government has repeatedly affirmed the "one-China" principle to China at meetings on cooperation with China.
Judging from the various acts of the US side, it can be said that the US Government is actually two-faced and three-sided, and there is no credibility to speak of. But is it because the United States is willing to speak out for the younger brother and draw a sword to help the younger brother in such a country that has no diplomatic credibility? No, it's just that the United States is too powerful, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, small countries, without any choice, either choose to cooperate with the United States, or choose to be sanctioned by the United States, or even eliminated.
The Tsai Ing-wen reactionary clique, which is entrenched on the island of Taiwan, is vainly trying to become one of those "small countries" that cooperate with the United States. However, in the face of the powerful Platon Army, this is absolutely impossible to succeed. Of course, Tsai Ing-wen must have also understood this, so while purchasing US military equipment and enriching its own strength, the Taiwan military also warmly welcomed the illegal landing of US government officials in Taiwan, hoping that the US military would be able to forcibly intervene in the situation of intervention when the mainland was unified in the future.
So, in addition to Tsai Ing-wen, how does the US government consider it? In fact, earlier, we said that the United States hoped to "lay mines" in Taiwan, hoping that after the PLA reunified Taiwan, the US military would remotely detonate "landmines," thus causing serious turmoil to China's internal political situation after reunification, and thus threatening the stability of China as a whole. However, this is only one of the political conspiracies that the United States may carry out against China, and from a purely military point of view, the United States is likely to regard Taiwan as a region of "encirclement and reinforcement" and as a fulcrum for "completely destroying China."
Taking the Syrian war as an example, the reason for the Syrian war, on the surface, is that Syria was affected by the "Arab Spring" movement, and the European and American countries were led to carry out color revolutions in the country, thus achieving the goal of Western countries to support new agents in the Middle East. In essence, it is actually the United States that led European countries to carry out air strikes on Syria, and on the basis of seizing air supremacy, funded Kurdish armed forces and anti-Bashar government forces, marched into Damascus from land, eliminated the Assad government, and thus understood Russia's close cooperation in the Middle East and indirectly weakened Russia's strength.
In terms of Russia's strength at the time, the best way to support Syria was neither economic nor diplomatic, but military. To this end, in the case of the Syrian government army showing an extreme disadvantage in the war situation, the Russian army quickly arrived at the battlefield, launched a fairly effective support to the Syrian government army, and even in the case of the Russian government authorizing the delivery of a large amount of heavy equipment to Syria, the situation in the Syrian battlefield has also been reversed in favor of Bashar.
However, as the war lasted for a long time, both the military strength of the Syrian government forces and the economic strength of Russia were greatly affected in this war. In the three years from 2012 to 2014 alone, the Syrian government army lost 518, 501 and 346 tanks respectively (1300 active main battle tanks were scrapped in just 3 years), which is undoubtedly the most difficult period for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Russia has also sent about 70,000 troops to support the Syrian government forces, and a large number of air force fighters and army armored units have arrived in the Syrian battlefield.
The economic costs and human and material resource consumption of Russia for this purpose are undoubtedly enormous. And many Chinese netizens know that Russia's total economic volume is only equivalent to China's Guangdong Province, as the world's top three military powers, such an economy can temporarily maintain daily military maintenance expenditure, once a long military battle, it is a considerable amount of economic losses for the Russian economy (fighting is burning money).
After seeing Russia enter such an embarrassing situation, the goal of the United States to contain Russia and weaken the strength of the Russian military was achieved. For the US government, uniting European countries and supporting rebel forces to fight against the Syrian Bashar al-Assad government is not to truly eliminate the Assad regime, nor to completely destroy Russia's "strategic bridgehead" on the west coast of the Mediterranean, but to lure Russia to personally go down (lure the snake out of the hole) and achieve the core goal of "encircling points to help" (militarily weakening Russia, so that Russia has to make a lot of financial expenditures in Syria).
By translating the case of the Syrian war into a possible future "Taiwan Strait conflict," the U.S. government is bound to envision weakening China's military and economic strength, so as to achieve the strategic goal of curbing China's rise. First of all, if the PLA reunifies Taiwan by force, then the Taiwan military imagined by the United States should have no ability to fight back, whether it is an effective killing counterattack against the PLA or a so-called "strategic delay" against the PLA (delaying the completion of the PLA's offensive to reunify Taiwan), whether it is the actual combat capability of the Taiwan army or the paper data, it lacks advantages.
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of containing China, the United States is likely to "make a big fuss" on Taiwan through various cultural, economic, and military means. Culturally, through the large-scale rendering of anti-China public opinion, as well as the covert activities of AMERICAN spies buried in various countries in the world, incite foreign people who do not know the truth to go to the streets to start an "anti-China movement", and put great pressure on the local government to suspend or terminate economic and trade cooperation with China (the United States has exported culture and politics on a global scale).
Politically, the United States is likely to use the so-called "People's Liberation Army attack on Taiwan" as a pretext to unite Western anti-China countries with Japan, South Korea, and other countries in the United Nations General Assembly to carry out anti-China diplomatic actions, including but not limited to: "launching an anti-China resolution at the United Nations General Assembly," "boycotting China by expelling Chinese diplomats overseas," and "coercing certain small countries subject to the US economy to carry out a political offensive against China."
Militarily, the United States is likely to use the "watching the fire from across the shore" military confrontation with China + small-scale U.S. military training units stationed in Taiwan to carry out the largest military deterrent in U.S. history against China. After all, the countries that once tried to surpass the United States have gradually disappeared (the decline of national strength or the disintegration and disappearance), but the unshakable rise of China has become a problem for the United States now. Then, when the People's Liberation Army reunifies Taiwan by force, if the US troops stationed on the island of Taiwan also carry out counterattacks against China, then there will be a military conflict between China and the United States, and the US military will use military means to contain China.
However, is all this really useful for China? Speaking of military means first, these possible actions of the US military are bound to be completely ineffective against the PLA. As far as local military conflicts are concerned, Taiwan is close to the Chinese mainland, and the US military cannot gain a combat advantage over the PLA in a short period of time, and for a long time, the US military will also be disadvantaged by the plausibility of the PLA's powerful offensive, and ultimately consume not China's strength, but the strength of the United States.
Politically, even if the United States pulls a bunch of allies to resist China, many of these allies privately have massive economic and trade cooperation with China. For China, even if it stops economic and trade exchanges with these countries, China's economy will not be greatly affected (hundreds of countries in the world, there are many partners), and those countries that have stopped trade with China due to the influence of the United States will become more dependent on the United States, thus losing more initiative in independence and self-reliance.
In terms of cultural public opinion offensive, the United States is even more "unknown." The people's liberation army's recovery of Taiwan is originally China's internal affair, and no country is qualified to point fingers at China; the United States may receive benefits in some countries that are already anti-China, but for most anti-American countries in the world, it will only become more hostile to the United States, which likes the "Buwu global." Proceeding from the strategic goal of containing China, it can be said that the US Government has actually failed quite well in this regard.
From the point of view that Taiwan is the "strategic fulcrum" of the United States' strategic containment of China, the historical trend of China's realization of national rejuvenation, national reunification, and all-round rise is essentially unstoppable (the United States is keen on "using the mantis arm as a car"). However, on the road to truly realizing its rise and rejuvenation, China should always maintain a state of vigilance against the United States, and no matter whether the United States is weak or not, whether the United States is anti-China, China will move toward a great future under the premise of maintaining an absolutely firm socialist line!
