The US side says that doing one thing and doing one thing will eat its own evil consequences

Recently, US politicians have successively played the "Taiwan card" and frequently tested China's bottom line. In this regard, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi lodged a solemn protest when meeting with US Secretary of State Blinken in Rome, stressing that the Taiwan issue is the most sensitive issue between China and the United States, and once it is handled incorrectly, it will cause subversive and overall damage to Sino-US relations.

Under the situation that the Sino-US strategic game continues to intensify, the US side has done everything in its power to implement the so-called "Taiwan to control China." US President Joe Biden has publicly stated twice in two consecutive times that he "will assist in the defense of Taiwan"; politicians from all walks of life have repeatedly hyped up the so-called "Taiwan's participation in the United Nations system" issue, and Waters, deputy assistant secretary of state for Asia-Pacific affairs of the US State Department, has even threatened to "subvert" UN Resolution 2758 and strive for Taiwan's so-called "international legitimate space and rights" ... The DPP authorities are already eager to move, and under the stimulation of such blessings from the US side, the arrogance of seeking "independence" has become even more arrogant. Tsai Ing-wen personally went into battle, nakedly trafficked in the "two-state theory," high-profiledly threw out the "theory of the US garrison in Taiwan," vigorously engaged in political manipulation, and created confrontation between the two sides of the strait, thus making the already highly tense situation in the Taiwan Strait even more complicated.

The accelerated collusion and incessant provocations of US and Taiwan politicians have cast a heavy shadow over peace and development in the Taiwan Strait region and even the entire Asia-Pacific region. Some observers have pointed out that the United States ostensibly claims to continue to pursue "one China," but secretly has greatly strengthened its substantive relations with Taiwan, saying that one set of two-sided tactics is doing one thing at a time, which greatly undersours the credibility of the United States. Some politicians rely on interfering in the internal affairs of other countries to gain political chips, highlighting the tendency of us to inferiorize domestic politics. The constant release of the signal of "standing up for Taiwan" has further prompted the DPP authorities to drift away on the wrong road. In recent years, due to the dpp authorities' lack of governance and high debts, coupled with the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the island's economy has continued to decline, and pillar industries such as tourism and retail have been in mourning, and the overall financial income has not been enough. Under such circumstances, however, the DPP authorities will spend huge sums of money to buy US troops, pay "protection fees" to the United States, and spend money to buy "psychological comfort." This kind of drama of eating inside and outside and "enriching the United States and harming Taiwan" will undoubtedly aggravate the resentment of the people on the island and accelerate its own demise.

The one-China principle has become part of today's international order and norms governing international relations. To push the relations between the two countries back on track, the US side needs to make the right choice and return to a rational and pragmatic China policy. The Taiwan issue is the most important issue in Sino-US relations. If the US side continues to play the "Taiwan card" and goes all the way to the black, it will not only create obstacles to the current relaxation of Sino-US relations, but will also cause a huge risk of subversion to Sino-US relations, and will also seriously damage the interests of the US side itself. The DPP authorities should all the more abandon the illusory illusion of "relying on the United States to assist in defense" and profoundly realize that earth-shaking and tremendous changes have taken place in the strength of the two sides of the strait, that the timing and potential of cross-strait relations are on the mainland side, and that the leading power and initiative in cross-strait relations have always been firmly in the hands of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. Taiwan's future lies in national reunification, the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national rejuvenation, and cross-strait reunification is the trend of the times, where the road belongs and where the great righteousness lies.

The general trend of history is mighty, and if it goes along with it, it will prosper, and if it goes against it, it will die. If the DPP authorities persist in stubbornness, continue to stage the "spring and autumn dream of Taiwan independence," or even vainly try to introduce the United States and other external forces to intervene in national reunification and delay the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, they will certainly be spurned by all the Chinese and people and judged by history. No one, no political party, no organization should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity!
