Taiwan's senior "diplomat": The United States is the "worst friend" and is pushing Taiwan to the brink of war

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Aza ended his four-day trip to Taiwan, and at noon on August 12, he left Taiwan on a U.S.-flagged Air Force C-40B executive jet. Although, US President Trump said in a radio interview, "Aza visited Taiwan because the United States and Taiwan discussed the new crown pneumonia." This visit is purely for COVID-19."

Taiwan's senior "diplomat": The United States is the "worst friend" and is pushing Taiwan to the brink of war

  When Interviewed by Super News, Taiwan's veteran "diplomat" Jie Wenji did not agree with the statement that he had come purely for hygiene, saying that "visiting Taiwan at this moment is of course a political purpose." He pointed out that health is the best identity statement, which essentially reflects Trump's difficult domestic election situation, and playing the Chinese card is more effective in order to save the election.

  Jie Wenji has served in the United States for many years, and has served as the head of the congressional group and the leader of the political group of Taiwan's "representative office in the United States", and is known as Taiwan's American Pass. According to the acumen of a former diplomat, Jie Wenji feared that Taiwan was being pushed to the brink of war.

  The three joint communiques signed by the United States and China, including the Shanghai Communiqué, the Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, and the August 17 Communiqué, all under the "one-China principle," have determined that U.S. exchanges with Taiwan must not interact in an official manner, and must be carried out without violating the "one-China principle." Today, these rules have been broken by the United States one by one. Aza's visit has become a de facto official visit, a move in the search for broader U.S.-Taiwan relations. Jie Wenji believes that the US diplomatic strategy has made great adjustments, which is only a part of the whole adjustment, "especially in Sino-US relations, the US side obviously wants Taiwan to play a more active role." ”

  The US-Taiwan relationship is already undergoing specific strategic adjustments, and it is not excluded that there will be such "official" contacts with the Taiwan government by higher-ranking officials in the future. The possibility of the presence of U.S. State Affairs Commissioner Pompeo in Taiwan is not even ruled out. Jie Wenji said: The United States and Chinese mainland have the "three communiques" for establishing diplomatic relations, and there are some tacit understandings in their long-term development relations with each other, but the United States is dismantling them one by one. In Jie Wenji's view, trump's election situation is now urgent, and his playing the Taiwan card is an obvious election strategy. "It's been less than 90 days since the U.S. election, which is a very unpredictable dozens of days. Elections usually go on in October, and all sorts of unexpected tricks are exhausted. ”

  Born and raised in Taiwan, he has been in the United States for many years, and he has accumulated experience in interacting with the United States. Jie Wenjie said that there is a popular saying in Taiwan, "The United States is the best enemy and the worst friend." Be friends with the United States and be prepared to pay the price. When it comes to friendship, Americans can't listen to it; it sees its own interests. Conversely, when you have differences with him, when you are tough on him, or argue on the basis of reason, he is more likely to reflect and doubt whether there is something wrong with himself.

  In 1978, Taiwan at that time was almost completely cooperative with the United States, and the final result was that the United States adopted "severing diplomatic relations," abrogating the treaty, and withdrawing troops from Taiwan without the slightest hesitation. Jie Wenji said, "It can be seen that the United States is in the national interest, and for the United States, whether it should use a soft tone or a hard tone, or a combination of soft and hard, must be very precise." ”  

  For Chinese mainland, Taiwan is its core interest. The biggest focus of conflict between the two sides that China and the United States may provoke is in the Taiwan Strait, and the Taiwan Strait issue has thus become the focus of the United States. Jie Wenji pointed out that a direct military conflict between the United States and Chinese mainland is completely inconsistent with the interests of the United States. Therefore, from Washington's point of view, the most in line with the interests of the United States today is to provoke a military conflict between the two sides of the strait, which can greatly affect the development of China's entire country. This is also the reason behind the united states' continued support for Taiwan in recent times.
