Since Pelosi visited Taiwan, China has taken a series of countermeasures, including sanctions on Pelosi himself. China announced sanctions on himself and his relatives. Pelosi's son was also revealed to be hungry and is the second largest shareholder of "Bosi Technology", a listed company in China. Therefore, China's sanctions are targeted. At the same time, China has also imposed sanctions on the US and cancelled dialogue between China and the United States in multiple fields.
However, the US continues to continue to provoke on the Taiwan Strait issue. It is reported that on the 14th, Ma Ki, chairman of the US Senate Asia-Pacific Group, led a congressional delegation to conduct a "lightning visit to Taiwan" from Yokota Military Base in Japan. There were a total of 5 congressmen and representatives.
According to relevant news, five US lawmakers will meet with Tsai Ing-wen today, mainly discussing US-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and investment, global supply chain, climate change and other important issues related to the interests of both sides. Previously, the US had stated that it would increase arms sales to Taiwan and encircle mainland China in the semiconductor field. Therefore, this meeting may mention this topic; and Maggie also posted on social media, saying that this trip was a reaffirmation of the US's "support" to the Taiwan authorities and encourage peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
From this we can see that the US still does not recognize its mistakes on the Taiwan Strait issue. Western politicians now regard Taiwan as a "check-in place". After seeing China implementing tough sanctions, they choose to continue to provoke China. It is obvious that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has had a chain reaction. Western politicians seem to have found China's bottom line. In their opinion, if China continues to impose sanctions, it will only impose sanctions in the economic field. The cancellation of related cooperation will not have a substantial impact.
And the wrong signals sent by the US side to the island also sent to the island have made the "Taiwan independence" elements more arrogant. The Taiwan authorities said that Tsai Ing-wen will meet with the US visiting delegation this morning. At the time when the People's Liberation Army's military exercises around the island "caused the situation in the Taiwan Strait increase", Chairman Ma Ki led a delegation to "visit Taiwan", once again demonstrating the "firm support" of the US Congress for Taiwan and the "democratic partners' determination to jointly maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region", and showing the friendly friendship of "no fear of mainland intimidation".
can only be said that the Taiwan authorities overestimate their importance. The main purpose of US lawmakers visiting Taiwan is to target mainland China. The US midterm election is approaching. After the Sino-US relations are gradually tense, interfering in China's internal affairs and provoking on the Taiwan Strait issue has become one of the important ways for US lawmakers to obtain political resource . This way, they can get the support of voters and also obtain "funding" from the Taiwan authorities.
The PLA will never turn a blind eye to the frequent collusion between the United States and Taiwan. According to the Taiwan Defense Department, the PLA had 22 military aircraft and 6 warships, and , which continued to cross the so-called "middle line of the Taiwan Strait". The PLA had previously stated that it would conduct a normal cruise around Taiwan Island.
The PLA's move is highly targeted, because if there is a situation in the Taiwan Strait during the battle patrol, the PLA can transfer to military exercises and training in a short time. If the situation becomes more tense, it can even be transformed into actual military operations and defend sovereignty and territorial integrity with practical actions.
Moreover, through normalized combat patrols, we can always keep a close eye on the every move of the Taiwan military , warning the Taiwan authorities not to act rashly, and be able to take turns to train the troops that cooperate with sea and air combat, and gradually establish effective measures for normalized defense, so that the situation in the Taiwan Strait can always remain under the control of the People's Liberation Army's military power.
So the current situation in the Taiwan Strait was not decided by US lawmakers' visit to Taiwan. The People's Liberation Army has achieved a normalized cruise around Taiwan. No matter how US lawmakers perform, they cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China. China has previously released a new version of the white paper on Taiwan, and has clearly stated that it does not rule out the use of force to resolve the Taiwan Strait issue.
Although the level of the visiting mission sent by the US this time is far less than that of Pelosi, its nature is equally bad. In order to get the support and votes of voters, US lawmakers ignore China's warning to visit Taiwan, and also show a "hard-strengthful attitude towards China" and regard Taiwan as their own "cash machine".
Next, China will definitely impose a new round of sanctions on these parliamentarians. Visiting Taiwan when the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense is adding fuel to the fire. I believe that the PLA's military actions will be further increased. The United States and Taiwan will pay the price for their wrong actions. Every time Western politicians visit Taiwan is to "promote" the process of cross-strait reunification. As for how the mainland will counter, let us wait and see.
