On April 16th local time, US President Biden met with the visiting Japanese Prime Minister Suka Yoshihide at White House . After the meeting, the United States and Japan issued a joint statement. Surprisingly, the statement mentioned China's internal affairs many times, not only directly talking about the Taiwan issue, but also involved issues such as Diaoyu Islands , East China Sea , South China Sea , Xinjiang and other issues.
The DPP authorities are naturally "happy". After learning that the Taiwan issue was "guaranteeed" by the "two big brothers", the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island were immediately excited, and the DPP authorities led by Tsai Ing-wen jumped out and thanked them immediately. Tsai Ing-wen's spokesman Zhang Tunhan claimed on the 17th that Taiwan welcomes the importance of the United States and Japanese governments on peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and expressed gratitude and affirmation, believing that this will be a positive benefit to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
Taiwan legislative body head You Xikun also posted a post on Facebook , boasting: "Taiwan has become a part of the international situation that dare not ignore, and we are happy to see more countries deepen their relations with Taiwan." Taiwan's executive branch spokesman Luo Bingcheng said, "I am very grateful to countries with similar international concepts for their long-term firm support for Taiwan, especially for Taiwan's security. At the moment when mainland China frequently sends military aircraft around Taiwan, Taiwan is happy to see and affirm the joint statement between the United States and Japan." The DPP authorities even launched a "propaganda machine" to show their gratitude to the United States and Japan. Green-sponsored media on Taiwan’s island have been constantly hyping up claims that this is the first time since 1969 that the leaders of the United States and Japan have mentioned Taiwan in a joint statement. The classics forget their ancestors, and the "limbing dog" style is disgusting.
Compared with the DPP authorities' unhappiness, many netizens on the island remained awake. Some netizens said, "This is just the DPP authorities used this news as a 'big propaganda'." Some netizens said, "In fact, the US and Japan only regarded Taiwan as cannon fodder. The DPP authorities were blowing whistles at night. The duck in the middle of July did not know how to live or die." In response, Zhao Chunshan, the core think tank of cross-strait policy and chief consultant of the Asia-Pacific Peace Research Foundation when Ma Ying-jeou was in power, said, "Taiwan is just a card. The US and Japan raised the Taiwan issue in a joint statement, and it was him who mentioned it. They play the card of Taiwan for their own interests, subjectively not to support Taiwan. "The United States and Japan still adhere to the one-China policy and oppose 'Taiwan independence'. Although the Biden administration's strategy to curb the rise of mainland China is clear, it does not want to have a full-scale military showdown with mainland China."
Zhao Chunshan said, "The fundamental purpose of the United States doing this is to curb China's rise and try to continue to maintain its global hegemony." The United States does not want to see cross-strait reunification and China's rise, and does not want to see the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea being included in its inland sea by China. However, it is an indisputable fact that China's rapid strength has increased. The United States believes that its strength is not enough, so it brings allies such as Japan to curb and suppress China. Xie Zhichuan, a senior assistant researcher at the Kuomintang think tank, pointed out that the joint statement of the United States and Japan claimed to stabilize the situation in the Taiwan Strait, but in fact it played the opposite role. The two countries sent wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" on the island, stirring up the storm of the Taiwan Strait, just for their own interests. Anyone with a discerning eye knows very well that the United States-Japan joint statement mentions Taiwan, not only cannot fundamentally ensure the so-called "Security of the Taiwan Strait"; on the contrary, this will intensify the unstable factors of the situation in the Taiwan Strait and strengthen the risk of conflicts in the Taiwan Strait. For the United States, behind "voicing for the Taiwan Strait", it is just that it wants to earn some NT$ . There is no courage to truly support the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence", but there is still a courage to use the Taiwan issue to try to restrain China's development process and do some business with the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence", and it is very courageous.
China's determination to safeguard national sovereignty is unswerving and has no room for concession. As Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs and does not allow any external interference. We urge the United States and Japan to abide by the one-China principle, properly handle the Taiwan issue, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. The DPP authorities' self-respecting themselves and willing to be a pawn of anti-China forces will only put Taiwan in a more dangerous situation.
