The recent situation in the Taiwan Strait has become increasingly nervous due to US provocations. It was previously revealed that the US Senate Foreign Affairs Commission will review a "2022 Taiwan Policy Law" on September 14, with many of which are targeted at mainland China and publicly supporting "Taiwan independence", seriously undermining the "one-China principle."
According to reports, yesterday the US Senate passed this Taiwan-related bill with 17 votes and 5 votes against it. British media believe that from the voting results, it can be seen that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have shown "strong support" for the bill, and will also reach a new level of US-Taiwan relations. The review of the bill
is divided into two steps in total. The first step is to be passed by the Senate Foreign Committee, and the second step is to be submitted to the entire Senate for review. However, behind it is the manipulation of Pelosi , which is likely to be passed in the end. Moreover, the content in the bill is to create "one China and one Taiwan". For example, in the next four years, US$4.5 billion of arms sales to Taiwan are authorized to accelerate Taiwan's "modernization of national defense capabilities" and designate Taiwan as its main "non- NATO allies."
In addition, there is another content in the bill, which is to impose sanctions on the mainland's actions against Taiwan, claiming that if the mainland implements large-scale "malicious actions" against Taiwan and seriously threatens Taiwan's "governance system" and "territorial integrity", the Biden administration should take tough sanctions on the mainland, including freezing assets in the United States, banning entry and revoking visas, etc.
From this we can see that the bill is clearly sending an erroneous signal to the island. Once it is passed and signed by Biden and officially becomes a US law, the US will interfere in China's internal affairs will be more unscrupulous, and the Taiwan authorities will completely become the "political pawn" for the US to contain mainland China, and will inevitably be counterattacked by mainland China.
The reason why the US proposed this bill is first because the US midterm election is approaching, and the US has caused strong dissatisfaction among domestic people due to the epidemic and other reasons. Therefore, Biden's Democratic Party needs to divert voters' attention, and the Taiwan Strait issue has become the first choice of the US.
European and American countries' sanctions on Russia did not meet expectations, but instead shot themselves in the foot. As Iran officially became a member of SCO , the pattern of China, Russia and Iran's "iron triangle" has gradually taken shape, and the United States will face a stronger force. Therefore, the United States proposed the "Taiwan Relations Law" and also wanted to show off with China, and attempted to curb China's rise by changing the policy toward Taiwan.
Regarding the so-called "Taiwan Policy Law", Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang once warned US Secretary of State Sherman that if the US allows the bill to pass, then Sino-US relations may collapse and break down; now China has made it clear that Taiwan is always part of China, and the US must abide by the "one-China principle" most, otherwise it is not just the breakdown of Sino-US relations.
The evil law involved in Taiwan passed this time is the result of the long-term collusion between "Taiwan independence" stubborn elements on the island and the US anti-China politicians. Some Taiwanese media have even confirmed that many of the contents in the bill are themselves the long-term demands of the DPP authorities. The "China threat" discussed by Xiao Meiqin and foreign lawmakers is to increase the tension between the United States, the mainland and Taiwan, and closely cooperate with the US deliberation plan.
At the same time, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council severely rebuked the matter. Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said yesterday that the Taiwan-related bill proposed by US lawmakers has seriously violated the "one-China principle" and violated the basic norms of international relations. China firmly opposes this wrong behavior. In order to achieve the "independence" conspiracy, the Taiwan authorities have continuously won over US lawmakers and promoted Taiwan-related bills. This behavior of "relying on the United States to seek independence" will surely be severely punished.
However, the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island are stubborn. The Mainland Affairs Council of the Taiwan authorities responded that during this period, the mainland has implemented a series of "pressure actions" against Taiwan, such as large-scale military exercises around the island, which have seriously "violated" the peace norms of international relations and international law, which has aroused the disgust of the global democratic camp, including the United States. Taiwan hopes to see the US support Taiwan with specific actions to deal with the mainland's "threats and provocations."
Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and no external force has the right to interfere in China's internal affairs. The Taiwan authorities are making mistakes again and again. Trying to rely on the US to achieve the conspiracy of "resisting unification by force" will definitely pay the price for their actions. At the same time, we advise the US not to speculate on the situation in the Taiwan Strait, otherwise, as Ambassador Qin Gang said, Sino-US relations will face a complete collapse.
