From October 26 to November 3, in just nine days, the United States struck six heavy blows at China in succession, including suppressing Chinese enterprises, rendering the "China threat theory," blaming China for the problem of gas change for no reason, hyping up China's "nuclear threat" again, and making waves on the Taiwan Strait issue, and the Taiwan Strait issue accounted for the second.
The first blow: the US Federal Communications Commission revoked the license of China Telecom America
On October 26, local time, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoked the authorization of China Telecom Americas to provide interstate and international communication services in the United States on the grounds of so-called "major national security risks". Britain's Reuters said FCC's decision meant that China Telecom Americas would have to stop its services in the United States within 60 days from now on. China Telecom has been authorized to provide telecommunications services in the United States for nearly 20 years.
In recent years, the U.S. side has repeatedly suppressed Chinese companies on the grounds of "endangering national security," mainly through restrictions on investment, export controls, and direct intervention by issuing executive orders. In terms of restricting investment, the possession of sensitive data and information is the main reason for the US side to stop Chinese enterprises from investing in the United States, and the main executive agency is the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. In terms of export controls, the US side mainly aims to suppress Chinese entities or individuals by including them in the so-called "entity list" of export control, and so far there are more than 380 Chinese entities and institutions listed by the US side.
The second heavy blow: U.S. satellites approach to monitor Chinese satellites, but declare that "Chinese satellites demonstrate space warfare capabilities"
On October 28, US media reported that China's heaviest and most advanced communications satellite, Shijian-20, was approached in parallel by the US space surveillance satellite "America-271" satellite, while the Chinese satellite "quickly moved away.". The U.S. media believes that Chinese satellites have adopted a strategy to avoid being tracked by U.S. spy satellites, which also hints at its ability in a potential space war.
All along, the United States and other individual countries have always taken a magnifying glass to look at China's relevant space activities, and at every turn they say that China is trying to seize the leading power in space, for which the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly emphasized that China's space industry is an important part of mankind's efforts to peacefully explore and use outer space, and is completely used for peaceful purposes. On the contrary, the United States has made frequent moves, and former US President Trump has repeatedly ordered the formation of the Space Force as the sixth branch of the US service, and has established the US Space Command. Recently, the US media disclosed that the US Space Force recently invested about $120 million to upgrade its anti-communication system (CCS) to attack early warning, communications and broadcast satellite systems. The anti-communications system is said to be the U.S. Space Force's first offensive weapon system. Who is the real threat to space security, China or the United States? The answer is clear at a glance.
The third heavy blow: the US president personally went down to blame China on the issue of gas change
On November 2, US President Joe Biden once again talked about China and Russia during the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, claiming that China's "one go" in response to global climate change is a "big problem", and apologized for the withdrawal of the previous US government from the Paris Agreement, saying that the withdrawal from the agreement caused the United States to be at a disadvantage.
Even the American family can't stand it. The head of the U.S. environmental protection organization Sunrise Movement recently pointed out in a statement that "Biden came empty-handed, and there was nothing but paper talk." It is a shame that the needs of the current situation cannot be met. Before telling world leaders when to do anything on climate issues, Biden must use his powers to immediately pass sweeping bills and administrative actions to achieve his goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent compared to 2005 by 2030. "Such a U.S. government, Biden, what right do you have to blame China on the issue of gas change?"
The fourth heavy blow: the US media hype China's "nuclear threat"
On November 3, the U.S. Department of Defense released the "2021 China Military Strength Report", which claimed that the PLA may have as many as 700 "deliverable" nuclear warheads in the next five years, and may reach 1,000 by 2030, exceeding the growth rate and scale expected by the US Department of Defense in 2020. The report also notes for the first time that China "may have established a sea-based, land-based and air-based trinity nuclear strike force." The report accuses China of increasing military capabilities aimed at "countering the United States" and "interfering with U.S. military operations overseas."
According to the Federation of American Scientists, the United States has more than 5,500 nuclear warheads in 2021, and deployed 1,800 of them worldwide, ranking first in the world. At the same time, it is widely believed that China's nuclear arsenal is less than 7% in number in the United States. Even if China's nuclear weapons number in 2030 is as the US report says, "more than 1,000", it is still less than 20% of the United States. To tell a joke: The United States has 15 times the nuclear arsenal of China, but the United States feels China's "nuclear threat."
In addition, the remaining 2 heavy blows of the United States hit the Taiwan issue. Recently, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has also spread 2 new news.
First Message: U.S. Secretary of State Once Again Stresses the Need to "Ensure That Taiwan Has the Ability to Defend Itself"
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken was remotely interviewed by CNN on Oct. 31. In response to a question about "defending Taiwan," he gave three answers: "Support giving Taiwan the ability to defend itself." "Make sure no party can act unilaterally." "The responsibilities of the US side in the 'Taiwan Relations Act' include ensuring that the Taiwan authorities have the ability to carry out self-defense."
Blinken's answer, "No water leaks," means not to promise to "defend Taiwan." At the same time, however, he also stressed that "we support taiwan's ability to defend itself, and it is not difficult to see this sentence that the purpose of the United States is to sell a large number of weapons to the Taiwan authorities. If you can't be hooked, it depends on the wisdom of the Tsai Ing-wen authorities!
Second News: The Top Us Military General Falsely Claims that the United States Is Absolutely Capable of "Defending Taiwan"
On November 3, Mark Milley, the top U.S. military general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, attended the Aspen Security Forum. Asked "if the United States has the ability to defend Taiwan," Millikin said, "There is no doubt that we have an absolute ability to do all kinds of things around the world, including ['defending Taiwan', if necessary." ”
Recently, the US military and politicians are stepping up their efforts to hype up the Taiwan issue and repeatedly throwing out provocative remarks that challenge the one-China bottom line. However, just as State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, the United States and other countries could not stop the one-China principle 50 years ago, and it is even more unlikely that it will succeed today in the 21 st century. If you insist on going your own way, you will pay the price you deserve.
Judging from the above information, the US "containment" action against China is increasing layer by layer, and it is not limited to a certain "card", but changes the law and changes the tricks to curb China's rise. During the Trump administration, the United States has repeatedly attacked China, but unlike Trump, who likes to "fight alone", Biden pays more attention to "fighting in groups", that is, pulling gangs around to deal with China. Whether it is the recently established trilateral core alliance of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, or the intensification of the manipulation of the "Indo-Pacific strategy," or the "quadrilateral security dialogue" between the United States, Japan, Australia, and India, as well as the stirring up of trouble on the Taiwan issue, every step taken by the Biden administration has great significance. What China has to do is to continue to maintain its strategic focus and actively respond to challenges.
