According to cCTV reports on June 7, US Senators Duckworth, Sullivan, Kongs and others visited Taiwan on the 6th on a US military plane and met with Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen.
In this regard, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the 7th that the visit of relevant us congressional members to Taiwan and to meet with the leader of the Taiwan region seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques. The Chinese side firmly opposes this and has lodged solemn representations with the US side.
Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, said on the 8th that Taiwan's future lies in the reunification of the motherland, and the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national rejuvenation. The motherland must be reunified, and it must be reunified. If anyone dares to separate Taiwan from China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will resolutely confront it at all costs and resolutely defend national unity and territorial integrity.
The three US congressmen visited Taiwan by military plane this time, and there are two aspects that deserve our attention.
On the one hand, this is the first time in 40 years that a US military plane has "deliberately" landed in Taiwan. Since the United States officially severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 1979, U.S. military planes have landed in Taiwan only twice, both due to "weather reasons."
This time, the US military plane landed in Taiwan with a purpose: First, it was manned, and second, it was to show its strength.
It is understood that the US visiting team consists of a C-17 "Global Bawang" heavy transport aircraft and two C-12 light transport aircraft, of which the C-17 "Globemaster" is the most advanced large strategic transport aircraft of the US military, and its performance is comparable to that of the PLA's Y-20.
Some analysts have pointed out that the C-17's visit to Taiwan this time shows the strategic delivery capability of the United States and shows that the US military has the ability to carry out emergency transportation in the Taiwan Strait; while the C-17's landing at Songshan Airport this time also means that the airport has the ability to take off and land large military transport aircraft urgently.
On the other hand, the rank and news of these three US senators are also worth paying attention to.
Us media photos show that Tsai Ing-wen is standing in front of three seated US senators speaking, so low and low, let people have a sense of "debriefing work".
Of the three, Duckworth and Sullivan are members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Kongs is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They have stood up for the national assembly many times, and Kong Si is also the sponsor of the so-called "Taiwan Guarantee Law" and the "Taipei Law". It can be said that their ranks are not low, and their anti-China stances are very clear.
It is reported that the three of them brought the news to the Tsai Ing-wen authorities that "the United States wants to share 750,000 doses of vaccines with Taiwan", but did not disclose the specific time and delivery method. On June 3, US President Biden announced that the United States will share 25 million doses of vaccines, of which 7 million doses will be received in Asia, and South Korea and India have clarified the delivery time and delivery method.
Taiwan's population is more than 23 million, and it is not difficult for clear-eyed people to see that 750,000 doses of vaccine is simply a drop in the bucket, and the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are the first to "thank Dade"; while the mainland has the ability and willingness to provide vaccines for Taiwan compatriots, the Taiwan authorities have found various reasons to refuse. The sinister intentions are self-evident.
