Taking advantage of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, the Taiwan authorities, who strongly showed their presence and expressed their loyalty to their American "master", had previously followed the footsteps of the United States and Western countries to participate in sanctions against Russia. Now it is Tsai Ing-wen's turn to be dealt with. Russia has begun to fight back. The Taiwan authorities instantly panicked and began to call on the mainland to put pressure on Russia.
As we all know, since Russia launched a "special military operation" against Ukrainian on February 24 local time, the DPP authorities have followed the footsteps of the United States and Western countries and announced the next day that Taiwan will cooperate with the world's so-called "democratic partners" to participate in the international community's economic sanctions against Russia. Obviously, Tsai Ing-wen wanted to take this opportunity to express her loyalty to the US "master" again, exchange this self-deception method for the United States' commitment to "assisting defense of Taiwan", and appease the concerns of "Taiwan independence" elements on the island about "will be abandoned by the United States." It is undeniable that the Taiwan authorities overestimate their weight.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, the Russian Federation government approved the "list of unfriendly countries and regions", and Taiwan was listed, and specially added brackets to "Taiwan", which said "China". Among these "unfriendly countries and regions", Russia has begun to impose sanctions on government officials of relevant countries, and the United States is the first to bear the brunt.
According to Russian media reports on the 15th, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that "as a response to a series of unprecedented sanctions", starting from March 15 this year, Russia has included US President Biden , Secretary of State Blinken , Secretary of State Blinken , Secretary of Defense Austin and US military participating in the Joint Conference Chairman Mili , as well as some U.S. department heads and well-known figures on the sanctions list. It is understood that there are 13 people on the sanctions list released by the Russian Foreign Ministry, including Assistant to the National Security Affairs of the US President Sullivan, CIA Director Burns, White House Press Secretary Psaki, Biden's son Hunter Biden , etc.
Just imagine, the United States has become the target of Russia's sanctions, so how could the Tsai Ing-wen authorities, as a "chess piece", escape. The Tsai Ing-wen administration was naturally very clear about this. At this time, they thought of the mainland and began to call on the mainland to put pressure on Russia. According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan's foreign affairs department spokesman Ou Jiangan claimed on the 15th that the mainland should take concrete actions to put pressure on Russia and condemn its so-called "invasion" of Ukraine.
It is not difficult to see that the "pressure on Russia" in Ou Jiang's words actually reveals two purposes: one is to let the mainland intervene in the situation in Russia and Ukraine, and this is exactly what the United States thinks. Recently, the Biden administration has repeatedly put pressure on China, demanding that China come out to take sides and impose sanctions on Russia together with the United States and the West. Therefore, what the DPP authorities are doing now is still holding the United States unrepentantly and stimulating Russia; second, the Taiwan authorities want to use the relationship between the mainland and Russia to let the mainland influence Russia, so that Russia can "show mercy" in the sanctions of Taiwan.
In fact, the mainland has already made it clear that it will not interfere in this regard. At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 14, a reporter asked a question to the spokesperson on the matter of "Russia's sanctions on Taiwan". In response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that everyone on earth understands why Taiwan is included in this list. If Taiwan is sanctioned, it is his own fault.
