U.S. Secretary of State Blinken Recently, it has frequently said that mainland China wants to accelerate cross-strait reunification. Taiwan's "Security and National Security Director" Chen Mingtong also said that the other strait may "force talks through war" in 2023. In response, Pan Zhaomin, a professor at the General Knowledge Center of Tohoku University in Taiwan, said in an interview with the Hong Kong China Review News Agency that Taiwan and the United States have recently played the war in the Taiwan Strait, and each has its own plans. The United States is trying to manipulate the conflict in the Taiwan Strait and weaken China. The DPP authorities are focusing on the end of the year election and even the 2024 "general election", pointing out that 2023 is nothing more than to continue to operate cross-strait tensions, waving the banner of "anti-China and Taiwan", and selling "dried mangoes ('sense of national destruction')", hoping to maximize votes.
Chen Mingtong
Taiwan and the United States have recently announced that the time for war and conflict in the Taiwan Strait is accelerating. Blinken said twice within a week that "China wants to accelerate reunification." U.S. Navy Command Secretary General Gil also warned on the 19th that the U.S. military must prepare for Beijing's possible attack on Taiwan by 2023 as soon as the end of this year. Chen Mingtong also pointed out in the "Legislative Yuan" that the mainland may "force talks through war" in 2023.
Analysis Taiwan and the United States both played the war call. Pan Zhaomin believes that the United States attempted to Ukraine Taiwan, prompting the mainland to launch a war against Taiwan and achieving the goal of weakening China. From the recent 24-degree "protecting Taiwan" remarks, to the recent rumors of Taiwan and the United States jointly developing weapons, all signs show that the United States is actively stimulating Beijing's red line by operating the Taiwan issue, in order to induce the mainland to take action against Taiwan.
Pan Zhaomin believes that the United States is now constantly singing the theory of Beijing's attack on Taiwan and has always predicted the timeline to arouse tensions and rationalize the behavior of armed and instrumentalized by the United States. The United States hopes to make a fool of itself while it is hot, and after weakening Russia, it will lock in China to maintain the US's position of world hegemony. However, he judged that Beijing should learn from experience and would not easily fall into the war trap laid by the United States.
As for Taiwan's official, Pan Zhaomin judged that the DPP authorities would rather give up cross-strait negotiations and were willing to cooperate with the United States to clamor for the tense atmosphere in the Taiwan Strait. First, they were short-sighted and short-term, and only focused on the end of the year and even the 2024 "general election". It pointed out that 2023 is nothing more than to continue to operate cross-strait tensions, waving the flag of "anti-China and Taiwan", and selling "dried mangoes", hoping to maximize votes; second, they are too naive. The DPP may believe that cooperating with the United States to play with fire can obtain the US's protective umbrella, and Beijing may be afraid of it, and the probability of using force against Taiwan is low. But the problem is that we can never predict the intentions of a major country. The United States could betray Taiwan for its own interests in the past. How can Taiwan have the reason to trust the United States 100%.
Regarding the situation in the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong China Review Network published a special discussion today, pointing out that there is only one month left in Taiwan’s nine-in-one local election voting day. This year, the most obvious thing is that the "anti-China and Taiwan card" used by the Democratic Progressive Party cannot urge votes. The United States helps the green camp sell "dried mangoes ('sense of national destruction')" and helps the young people in Taiwan to extend their service period. Foreign capital has also accelerated the withdrawal, causing the depreciation of NTD and the decline of the stock market, and fell into a vicious cycle.
monograph pointed out that this year's election, the United States helped the DPP sell "dried mangoes", and even sold more harder than the DPP itself. US Secretary of State Blinken has repeatedly warned recently that Beijing may use all means to accelerate the unification of Taiwan and even use force. The US has repeatedly released messages to make Taiwan a "aramparts", and the US and Taiwan should jointly develop weapons, etc.; Taiwan's Green Camp Military Scholars have also echoed the US dialect and repeatedly "release the eagle", giving Taiwanese people the feeling that they are going to fight at any time.
, Chairman of Caixin Media, who has a good relationship with the green camp, recently revealed at a public event that Tsai Ing-wen asked him the first thing she said when she saw him a few days ago, "What's wrong with the stock market?" Xie Ze analyzed that the main reason for this wave of fluctuation in the Taiwan Stock Exchange comes from the rise in geopolitical risks of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.A report recently by Taiwan’s financial magazine "This Weekly" quoted a senior foreign exchange trader , a large public bank, saying that "the strengthening of the US dollar on the surface is the main reason for foreign capital to "kill a lot" in the Taipei stock exchange market. But in fact, when the US dollar strengthened in 2021, the new Taiwan dollar exchange rate remained strong, but this year the new Taiwan dollar exchange rate has not recovered. There is a ' Central Bank ' president Yang Jinlong didn't say anything, that is, cross-strait relations deteriorated rapidly." The article finally believes that the United States' "war ghost" in Taiwan is no longer just a level of war of words. What you see in front of you is that it has to extend the service period, Taiwan's economy is seriously injured, and there is also serious losses to the people's property! (Xue Yang/Editor)
