Recently, the United States has become more and more bold in its actions on the Taiwan issue, with the White House frequently playing the "Taiwan card" in a vain attempt to use Taiwan to "contain" China's rise. For us, we have been watching a "joke", an international joke played out by the United States and the Democratic Progressive Party.
To understand this joke, we must first learn to watch the news. On September 26, Meng Wanzhou, who had been detained by Garna for more than three years, returned to China, and on October 6, China and the United States sent high-level representatives for talks, following the Alaska talks, our Director Yang once again played against Sullivan, and according to official sources, the two sides had a frank dialogue. Three days later, on October 9, the two sides once again held a high-level economic and trade dialogue, and the outside world commented that the talks had a good effect.
If you don't understand, let's look ahead, in July, US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman visited China, China issued a "two list" to the United States, asking the United States to show sincerity before talking about cooperation, of which the eighth article of the "error correction list" states: Revoke the extradition of Meng Wanzhou. Now that the United States has done this, ten days later, we agreed to talk with the United States, and then there was a later economic and trade dialogue.
After the economic and trade dialogue between the two sides, the US federal government, at the "request" of its own enterprises, re-exempted 549 categories of Tariffs on Chinese imports; a few days later, the United States issued a travel ban on 33 countries, including China. Do you see a hint?
The United States has always been very eager to "dialogue" with China, but for various reasons, it has been "unable to pull down the face", or "can not come to Taiwan", this time the United States on the surface under the "helpless" concessions to China, in fact, the White House has been the strategic purpose, but the suspense is a little long.
The reason is still because of the "political legacy" left by Trump, during the Trump period, for his own vote warehouse, he slandered China in every way, claiming to the people that China had "robbed" American workers of employment opportunities, claiming that Chinese enterprises made Us companies "unable to make money", and under repeated incitement, the American people were very hostile to China.
After Biden took office, in order to alleviate the prevention and control of the epidemic and stimulate the economy, the United States opened a printing press, printed nearly ten trillion US dollars, domestic inflation is very serious, the issuance of US bonds has also encountered many difficulties, the monthly inflation index of far more than 5% is like a "tight curse" like a tightening, biden administration is very eager for China to intervene, like the 2008 financial crisis to save the US economy, but because of fear of public opinion and Republican attacks, it is afraid to make concessions to China.
At the same time, the Biden administration has launched a "trip to Europe" and "a trip to Asia" to continuously win over allies and increase momentum in an attempt to "intimidate" China, but with little effect, under the continuous deterioration of the economy and the crisis of the supply chain, the United States has no choice but to succumb to softness, secretly poking at us to "make eyes", meet China's requirements, and conduct economic dialogue.
But why should we "carry the pot" for the United States? Even if you want to pay for the purchase of US bonds or the depreciation of the renminbi, this "small favor" of the United States is far from meeting China's requirements, so in the absence of "chips", the United States began to create "chips" and negotiate conditions with China.
This "chip" is Taiwan.
If we pay close attention to the news, we will find that the US action against Taiwan has become more frequent and surprisingly strong since Sherman's visit to China. On August 31, the United States first sent retired cadres to "test the waters", and the former US ambassador to the United Nations took the lead in challenging The General Assembly Resolution 2758.
From September 1 to mid-October, the United States showed sincerity and discussed dialogue, and on October 1, the Western media and American politicians were silent, and on October 21, the United States once again "repeated the same tune", the assistant deputy secretary of state "questioned" UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, and then Biden declared "defending Taiwan" and Blinken supported Taiwan's "participation in United Nations affairs".
As for the recent remarks by Tsai Ing-wen claiming that Taiwan has "US troops stationed," it is no accident that it is also due to the instructions of the White House; as for why, as we have just mentioned, the United States does not have any "chips" in its hands to attract us, and they talk about the Taiwan issue, that is, to "create chips" and force China to make concessions in the Sino-US economic and trade dialogue. Some kind of animal is lying on its feet and does not bite disgusting people."
So can the "wishful thinking" of the United States succeed? As the title suggests, it's just a joke.
The United States is not sure that it will prevent us from reunifying Taiwan, and with the current strength of the United States, the chance of military intervention in the Taiwan issue is almost zero. On the one hand, in China's coastal operations, the United States has no certainty of victory, some time ago, the United States think tank used sand table deduction to rehearse the results of the US military intervention in the Taiwan issue, the results show that the United States is "powerless" to China, on the other hand, the US economy can no longer support the military to launch any war, because the Treasury Department has no money to lead to the "government shutdown" farce has been staged.
So can the United States sanction China in other areas to prevent the liberation of Taiwan? There is precedent for this. 8 years ago in the Ukraine crisis, Russia took advantage of the chaos decisively, the army did not dare to take back the Crimean region without bloodshed, the United States did not dare to take a military shot, but united Europe, economically on Russia's comprehensive blockade and sanctions, and eventually led to Russia's GDP from 2.3 trillion US dollars to 1.4 trillion US dollars, until now has not recovered its vitality, while restricting imports in energy, as a major energy exporter Russia was directly cut off from the financial road.
But if you want to ask Putin whether you regret your original decision, I think you will definitely not regret it, Crimea is a defensive line and a port for Russia, and its strategic location is very important, and Taiwan is not only a defense line and a port for China, but also sovereignty and dignity, which is of greater significance.
So if the United States imposes economic sanctions similar to Russia on China without military intervention, are we afraid or not? Not afraid at all.
First of all, in terms of pressure resistance, China has the world's most complete industrial system, a total of 39 categories, 191 medium categories, 525 sub-categories, from clothing, shoes and hats to shipbuilding heavy industry, from lighters to aircraft, we can manufacture anything in China, any product in the world has a supply chain in China, if you blockade China, the loss is not us, but the Western countries themselves.
For example, Apple mobile phones in China has more than 300 supply chains, most of the accessories and raw materials are from China, if China is closed, it means that Apple to find more than 300 Chinese replacements around the world, re-establish the supply system, it takes a long time, the cost of products has risen sharply, and even many raw materials (such as rare earths) are still unique to China, and there is no substitute.
If China is blockaded, it is not to wound the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred, but to wound the enemy two hundred and lose one thousand, such a stupid thing the United States may do, but Europe will never agree.
Secondly, in the consumer market, China is the world's most populous country, 1.4 billion people mean a huge market cake, for example, without Chinese consumption, Tesla may have gone bankrupt in 2008; without the Chinese market, Apple mobile phone directly lost $60 billion in market revenue; Nike lost $39 billion, Intel 70 billion, Walmart directly lost 443 shopping malls, KFC closed more than 1,000 stores... The U.S. government may do it, but these companies will never do it.
Then, we are not afraid of US military intervention or economic sanctions, so why haven't we resolved the Taiwan issue? What are we waiting for?
Quite simply, as we said, the United States is now sanctioning China to hurt me two hundred and lose a thousand to itself. What we are doing now is to gradually reduce our own harm and improve the self-harm of the United States. For example, if the United States hurts us to a negligible degree and the losses of itself or its allies are unacceptable, do you think the United States will "turn the other cheek" for Taiwan and China?
Time is on our side, the longer the time, the more confident we are, the greater the ability, the stronger the resilience, and when we are so strong that the entire Western world cannot be shaken, India, Japan, the Philippines, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and other problems will also be solved. This is the ancient wisdom that belongs to the East.
There is also a reason. In terms of "self-loss", we can't afford to compare with the United States, we pay attention to people's livelihood, people first, for the interests of the people, we can not economic development, choose "lockdown"; one side has difficulties, we can support the whole country, regardless of gains and losses; in order to improve the people's living standards, we can develop infrastructure, develop education, accurate poverty alleviation, common prosperity, and the United States is different, the United States is more like a "company", they are only responsible for the chaebols, responsible for the elite, the people are just a "burden" and "burden".
Therefore, the United States can continue to be light and breezy in the case of more than 700,000 people dying due to the epidemic, "barking" at China in the case of "no goods to sell" in domestic supermarkets, and continuing to "take vacations" and "travel" in the face of continuous hurricanes, earthquakes and mountain fires in China.
We are doing our utmost to reduce the harm caused to ourselves, the people, and the economy caused by the Taiwan issue. This effort is common prosperity, think about it, at present we are already the world's largest consumer market, if the whole people are rich, how strong can our purchasing power be, who in the West can reject this "global super consumer market"?
But we also have our own principles and bottom lines, which is why we do not rule out the use of force, we cannot "break the can and break the can", but if we give up the dignity of the country for the sake of the economy, the people of the whole country will not agree, and that time will be the moment when China's anger will erupt.
