According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a few days ago, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with US Secretary of State Blinken in Rome. Wang Yi said directly during the talks that the Taiwan issue is the most sensitive issue between China and the United States. Once the handling is wrong, it will cause subversive and overall damage to Sino-US relations. The crux of the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is that the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly tried to break through the one-China framework, and the US side's connivance and support for the "Taiwan independence" forces is also to blame.
This statement can be seen as a reminder and warning to the United States directly and face-to-face by Chinese mainland on the "Taiwan issue." All along, the United States has been the basis for the Taiwan authorities to "seek independence." The reason why the "Taiwan independence" forces dare to provoke the mainland so frequently is that behind this is the shadow of the United States, which has been trying to stir up cross-strait relations and then bring into play Taiwan's leading role in the mainland. In recent years, the United States has continuously reached out to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, but every time it has been strongly countered by the mainland, and its outstretched hand has had to be retracted. Don't look at the slogan of "defending Taiwan" shouted loudly by US domestic politicians now, and it is very unpopular to really intervene militarily in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
According to the Global Times, john Hayten, vice chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, publicly stated at a meeting that after long-term operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States will not seek new military conflicts at all. "I want everyone to know that we don't want to go to war with Iran," he said. We don't want to go to war with China. We don't want to go to war with Russia. We don't want war with North Korea. We don't want to fight. In fact, we are tired of war. We don't want to fight anymore. We want diplomacy to play a role. Recently, CNN anchors also said on the show: It is difficult to imagine that there will be Americans who feel "worthy" to fight for Taiwan.
It can be seen that the war weariness in the United States has become very strong. After all, it has already experienced a "rout-style" retreat in Afghanistan, even the Taliban and the US military cannot win, and it will have a chance to win against China, the world's nuclear power and the world's second largest economic power? After the United States experienced the events in Afghanistan, was the morale of the military morale enough to launch a major power war? It is estimated that this is also the main reason why the vice chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff does not want to go to war with China. From Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks to Blinken, we can also see China's attitude and determination in the face of the Taiwan issue. We now have sufficient self-confidence to deal with U.S. interference, and we are fully prepared for this. In other words, once the mainland has decided that it wants to liberate Taiwan, whether the United States will intervene militarily will result in the same results, that is, cross-strait reunification.
From time to time, US politicians and elites will come out and hint at "assisting in the defense of Taiwan," but they have never dared to make any substantive moves, and they still pursue the so-called "strategic ambiguity" policy toward Taiwan. Up to now, he has not dared to give Even a promise to Taiwan, which is enough to show the attitude of the United States. Its strategic will to intervene in the Taiwan Strait is not as strong as it shouts, but on the contrary, Chinese mainland, what it wants to solve is the issue of national reunification, there is no way back, and the strategic goal of liberating Taiwan is very clear and clear.
Therefore, whenever the mainland reacts strongly, the United States will retract its hand extended to the Taiwan Strait. Biden said that he wanted to "defend Taiwan," and the White House immediately came out to clarify that the Policy toward Taiwan remained unchanged. When us transport planes entered Taiwan three times and twice, the mainland began to drive away US military planes in Taiwan's airspace, and after that, THE US military planes never entered the main island of Taiwan. It can be seen from this that if the mainland's strategic will to Taiwan is strengthened, the United States will unconsciously retreat, because it does not have the courage to seek a poor dagger with the Chinese mainland, and it still less has the public opinion basis for going to war with China. After all, if the United States really intervenes militarily in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it will not be the elites who will go to war, but the sons, husbands, and fathers of the American people.
The Taiwan authorities still regard the United States as the biggest backer of their "seeking independence" and still believe that "the United States will protect Taiwan." However, the truth is most likely that the United States is using Taiwan to cut off Taiwan's leeks on the grounds of the mainland's military deterrence against Taiwan, let it buy weapons, and pay protection fees in disguise. With Taiwan's mentality of wanting to "seek independence" against the mainland, we should stir up antagonistic sentiments and make the cross-strait situation more tense, so as to test the attitude and bottom line of the Chinese mainland. Judging from Taiwan's own strength, when facing the mainland, it has no chance of winning at all, and once the situation changes, the People's Liberation Army will inevitably sweep away all the resistance forces in Taiwan with a thunderous momentum. The now provocative behavior of Tsai Ing-wen and the like will only hasten their demise.
