According to overseas websites, U.S. Senator Scott visited Taiwan, China. Scott has become the seventh senator of the US Congress to conduct a visit to the Taiwan authorities this year. This visit happened shortly after mainland China and French Airbus signed a US$37.2 billion order. Therefore, Scott's visit was interpreted by some public opinion on the island as: putting pressure on the Taiwan authorities to purchase more Boeing aircraft.
This speculation on the island is not without basis. Major members of the two parties of the United States Congress Graham and Mednanz previously visited the Taiwan authorities, Graham proposed in front of Tsai Ing-wen that the Taiwan authorities should purchase 24 more Boeing passenger planes. When the US political donation system exists legally, American congressmen generally play the role of "interest-speaker", while Boeing is responsible for both civil aircraft manufacturing tasks and military weapons manufacturing. It has a great influence in the United States. Boeing defeated his old rival Airbus in mainland China and was regarded as a "kit" by politicians from various countries. It is indeed an ideal place for US congressmen to promote orders for Boeing.
Taiwan's foreign affairs agency announced that US Senator Scott's visit to Taiwan will discuss with the Taiwan authorities in military, trade, investment, chips and other aspects. The United States is committed to using "Taiwan independence" as a pawn, making profits from the Taiwan authorities through arms transmission while allowing the Taiwan authorities to develop the so-called "asymmetric military force" to "resist the unification with force" as much as possible. As the Taiwan authorities brought wolves into the house, Taiwan, China, has also become the import destination of the United States' "Laos" and the source of investment in the United States in a sluggish manufacturing industry. TSMC has also become the main target of the United States' chip blockade on mainland China.
The visit of US Senator Scott is in the middle of the Taiwan authorities' desire to rely on "Taiwan independence" to hold foreign powers. As the endorsement of various interest groups in the United States, the Taiwanese authorities not only cannot let Scott return empty-handedly, but also need to pay real money for the capital behind Scott. The final price is the continuous decline in the quality of people's livelihood on the island.
In addition, the time point of Scott's visit to Taiwan this time is very subtle. The G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held on Indonesian from July 7 to 8. Media reports said that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Blinken are expected to hold talks on July 9. This is another offline meeting between the two sides since last year's Rome talks. US Senator Scott conducted a visit to Taiwan, China from July 7 to July 9.
Taiwan is China's inherent territory, and the United States' dangerous actions in the situation in the Taiwan Strait are also the main reason for the continued deterioration of relations between China and the United States and the two militaries. With the upcoming meeting between China and the United States, the United States has launched another visit by lawmakers, which is obviously because it is "suspected" that China's countermeasures against the United States are not large enough. The US State Department's Assistant Secretary of Asia-Pacific Affairs previously revealed that the United States' main demand in the Sino-US foreign ministers' talks is to establish guardrails between China and the United States to prevent any misjudgment of China's actions against the United States.
However, the talks have not been held yet. US media has shown that "the United States is ready to take advantage of the experience of sanctions against Russia to carry out more targeted export control measures against China", and US Senator Scott has launched "an investigation into Taiwan, China", which fully demonstrates that the US's sincerity is not enough. The United States has taken an offensive attitude to use it as a bargaining chip to threaten China. But what can play a role between countries, especially among major countries, is never "virtual" and "still" momentum, but hard power that can be implemented.
For the last time, U.S. parliamentarians went to Taiwan, PLA Eastern Theater Command held a three-machine practical exercise around the Taiwan Strait as a countermeasure. This visit to U.S. parliamentarians took place before the talks between China and the United States, which fully demonstrates that China responded to the United States to dispel the fantasies, and at the same time, with greater countermeasures in more fields such as military, technology, and finance, let forces that infringe on China's core interests bear the consequences. As the People's Liberation Army declares its law enforcement power in the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan Strait is no longer a place where the US military comes and goes with a "harmful pass". The US military cannot stir up storm in the Taiwan Strait, but wants to rely on US lawmakers to stir up "Taiwan independence" public opinion on the island. Some Americans are too self-righteous.The result can only be that the U.S. influence has further receded.
