says one thing and do another, and implements double standards is the best trick Western countries are. On the evening of February 6, British Foreign Minister also sensiblely demanded that China respect its sovereignty over Horse Island . On February 10, the British House of Commons passed a Taiwan-related bill, which will enhance the relationship with Taiwan. and seek more "international recognition" for the Taiwan authorities.
Since Brexit , its internal problems have been gradually amplified. Johnson In order to revive the British glory back then, he proposed the "Global Britain" plan. However, this plan seems to be to re-enhance the international status of Britain, but in fact it is to completely turn to the United States in terms of diplomatic strategies and become a vassal of the United States in order to seek to show a sense of existence internationally. Johnson himself also knew that with the current strength of the UK, he could not play an important role in regional issues at all.
So since Brexit, the United States has always been able to see the UK during its actions in the Indo-Pacific region. For example, the "AUKUS" alliance formed by the United Kingdom and the United States and Australia in September last year is known as the Asia-Pacific version of the Little NATO, with an extremely strong Cold War color. As an extraterritorial country, the United Kingdom is very concerned about affairs in the Indo-Pacific region, and its purpose is to I want to please the United States and follow the United States to show my presence in relevant regions.
Then, under the instructions of the United States, the United Kingdom carried out the so-called free navigation in South China Sea and crossed the sensitive Taiwan Strait . All the actions of the UK are to cater to the United States. The United States currently regards China as its number one strategic competitor, so the United Kingdom also chooses to follow the United States on issues related to China.
This time, the UK passed the so-called Taiwan-related bill, which is very radical in terms of content, especially the so-called deepening of security cooperation and helping the Taiwan authorities gain more "international recognition." The British government wants to deepen security cooperation with Taiwan in a variety of ways, such as selling arms, conducting military exchanges, etc. But no matter which one, it will definitely greatly impact Sino-UK relations, and they all violate the international consensus of the "one China principle". In addition, it is nonsense to help Taiwan gain more "international recognition". As part of China, how can Taiwan have the theory of "international recognition"? This kind of statement from the UK is to create the illusion of "one China, one Taiwan" in the international community.
The UK chose to act in trouble on the Taiwan issue at this time, which may be for two purposes. The first is to respond to our country’s claims on the Promenade issue. On this issue, our country has always firmly supported Argentina. Therefore, the British side decided to force our country to change its position on the Falklands issue by making trouble on the Taiwan issue.
However, these two things are essentially different, and China's support for Argentina's position on the Cabernet Island issue is in line with the facts. Taiwan Island is part of China, which is an international consensus, and the British government has always admitted that it will adhere to the one-China principle. The Taiwan-related bill passed by the British Parliament seriously violates international consensus and is an extremely wrong approach.
The second is to help the Johnson administration divert its attention. Johnson himself is currently in a "party gate" crisis, and calls for his resignation are getting louder and louder. Therefore, the UK has been extremely radical in its recent issues involving China and Russia. It is not ruled out that the Johnson government wants to divert the attention of domestic people by provoking external troubles to overcome the "resignation crisis."
It is worth mentioning that the UK may not just pass a Taiwan-related bill to express its political stance. It is reported that the British Foreign Committee is likely to choose to visit Taiwan this month and hold a meeting with senior officials of the Taiwan authorities. In light of the recent repeated manipulations of the UK on the Taiwan issue, it is not ruled out that the UK chooses to take risks on the Taiwan issue in order to further respond to the United States.
The international status and influence of the UK are different from The Baltic Three Kingdoms . British politicians' visit to Taiwan will have an extremely bad impact internationally. In response, the Chinese Embassy in the UK issued a severe warning, advising relevant British lawmakers to stop anti-China political manipulation, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and not "play with fire" on the Taiwan issue.The British government should recognize that the Taiwan issue is the core interest of China. If we try our best to fight against this issue, we must be prepared to be countered by our country.
