According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network," the US House of Representatives version of the National Defense Authorization Act recently proposed that Taiwan be invited to participate in next year's RIMPAC military exercises.
According to reports, the U.S. House Armed Services Committee recently voted to pass the "Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act", which mentions that Taiwan should be invited to participate in the Rim of the Pacific Military Exercise 2022, which is expected to be voted on in the House of Representatives next week. Rim of the Pacific Military Exercise, led by the United States and held once every two years, is currently the world's largest international maritime exercise.
According to the report, as for the possible invitation of the US side to invite the DPP authorities to participate in next year's RIMPAC military exercise, Chen Yuzhen bluntly said today that participating in the military exercise or not participating in the military exercise is actually a difficult problem, and in any case, "it will push Taiwan into the line of fire."
Chen Yuzhen also said that the Taiwan Strait has become "the most dangerous area on the surface of the internationally certified land," and she reminded the DPP authorities not to turn into a situation of "man-made knife tricks, I am fish and meat," which is of no benefit to the people on the island.
The Xinhua News Agency commented on 16 July that the Taiwan-US military collusion has raised the danger coefficient in the Taiwan Strait, and that the spokesmen of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council have made solemn responses to the recent frequent military collusion between Taiwan and the United States; the United States has escalated its playing of the "Taiwan card" step by step, and the DPP authorities have lured wolves into the house, constantly raising the danger coefficient in the Taiwan Strait, and pushing Taiwan into a dangerous situation.
The commentary said that the United States frequently plays the "Taiwan card" and constantly challenges China's bottom line through the so-called "sausage cutting" method, and its dangerous actions have endangered China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is a very bad provocative act. This extremely irresponsible and very dangerous act has seriously undermined the foundation of Sino-US relations and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and has made people further see the hypocrisy and two-sided nature of the US side on major issues concerning China's core interests.
The commentary also mentioned that the Taiwan issue is the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations, and the one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations. China firmly opposes any form of official exchanges and military ties between Taiwan and the United States and resolutely safeguards sovereignty and security. The United States is completely wishful thinking in using the Taiwan issue to engage in "political shows, to challenge the one-China principle, and to vainly attempt to achieve the so-called goal of "using Taiwan to control China."
