Russia's war with Ukraine has caused panic in Taiwan society, and they have discussed whether the United States will send troops to assist in defense in the future. In an interview, Zhang Yazhong, principal of Taiwan’s Sun Yat-sen School, said that Ukraine is an internationally recognized sovereign state and is also a member of the UN . According to the content of the China-US Three Communiqués, the United States recognizes that Taiwan is part of China and the United States does not raise objections. This is the basis of the US one-China policy; in addition, the United Nations also firmly adheres to the one-China principle, which shows that the cross-strait issue does not apply to the international law .
Zhang Yazhong said that in terms of military strength, Russia's military strength is not as good as mainland China now. Even so, the United States and Western countries are still unwilling to provoke a conflict with Russia for this. So what reason should the Taiwanese people use to believe that there will be wars on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait? The United States, Europe, and even Japan and South Korea will send troops to help?
Zhang Yazhong emphasized that cross-strait issues still depend on themselves after all, but the choices can be different. The DPP politicians' choice is to hold the American thigh. They fantasize that "the United States will think that Taiwan is more important than Ukraine." This idea is too naive. Judging from our reality of international politics, what if it doesn't happen? Ukraine fought for four or five days, who was the victim of the fight? The biggest victim is the Ukrainian people, while the United States is the biggest profit.
Zhang Yazhong said that the small notice and lesson learned from the Russian-Ukrainian war to the Taiwanese people is that if there is a real conflict, there will be very little assistance. For example, the DPP authorities are cooperating with European and American countries to condemn Russia and impose semiconductor sanctions. It seems that the United States is asking Taiwan to condemn it. Can the DPP choose? Taiwan has no choice now, which is very sad. After Tsai Ing-wen came to power, she broke the cross-strait relations, which led to the current situation of "speaking everything from the United States". Even if Taiwanese people want to eat "pigs", they are completely dominated by the United States; but will the United States do what Taiwan wants to help?
