Biden threatened to "defend Taiwan by force", and the Secretary of Defense urgently clarified: the United States will not change the one-China policy
On May 23, local time, US President Biden held a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Kisha Fumio on his way to Japan. At the press conference, a reporter asked whether Biden or the United States would "defend Taiwan by force", and Biden actually gave a positive answer. This speech immediately sparked international public opinion. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country expressed strong dissatisfaction and protests. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also warned the United States not to cross the red line. However, as soon as Biden finished speaking, White House spokesperson jumped out to clarify that "the United States will still pursue a one-China policy." This inconsistent remark has aroused speculation from all parties. Just after the White House was urgently clarified, US Secretary of Defense Austin also issued a statement, publicly saying in an interview with the media that the US One China policy has not changed.
On May 23, local time, just a few hours after Biden announced his plan to "protect Taiwan by force", U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin attended a press conference held by the Pentagon. According to Reuters , Austin said: "my country will still adopt a one-China policy, which has not changed." He believes that Biden's remarks in Japan are "reaffirming the United States will abide by this policy and the United States' commitment to peace and stability in Taiwan." Austin also believes that Biden's remarks "emphasize the commitments made by our country in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with means of self-defense." In short, Austin stressed that Biden's remarks do not mean that the United States no longer complies with the "one China" policy, but continues to maintain the status quo and continues to provide weapons and equipment to the Taiwan authorities, but does not make a promise that it will directly send troops to interfere.
After Biden made these remarks that seriously infringed on China's territorial sovereignty and seriously broke through China's bottom line, the White House and the Department of Defense immediately came forward to clarify that the US president and other departments of the government actually held completely opposite opinions. Such a reaction is worthy of analysis. Some analysts believe that Biden made this remark because of his "slip misunderstanding" or confusing thinking. Biden is already eighty this year, and the average life expectancy of American men is seventy-seven. It doesn't seem surprising that an elderly man in his octogenarian is talking nonsense. Previously, Biden has been talking nonsense on various important occasions many times, such as confusing the names of Trump and Putin many times, and for example, during his visit to South Korea, he called the new president Yoon Seo-yeon "President Wen". During the election, Biden also had many slips of the tongue, such as saying that he became a senator "180 years ago", "The United States died of 200 million people due to the new crown epidemic", etc. Therefore, some Biden opponents suspected that Biden had suffered from Alzheimer's disease or other mental illnesses.
Since Biden has a lot of nonsense history, it seems normal to say the wrong words in this interview. According to CNN, many Biden's assistants were very surprised after hearing Biden's remarks, and many senior officials felt "taken off guard." Therefore, some scholars believe that Biden made such remarks entirely because he was old and confused, which is why the White House and the Pentagon immediately issued a clarification statement in just a few hours.
However, compared with Biden's old age and ineffectiveness and speaking indiscriminately, the US government uses this to "sing a double act" and adopts the sausage-cutting tactic to test China's bottom line step by step and infringe on China's rights and interests. As president, Biden made excessive remarks on formal occasions, but did not sign formal documents and did not determine these remarks by law or executive orders, while other departments immediately jumped out to "clearize". In this way, the United States can test China's reactions at a relatively small price, grasp China's bottom line, and also play a role in "invigorating blood" for those who forget their ancestors on the island. If our country does not respond solemnly, the United States may take a step further in the near future and realize its intention to split China through the step-by-step " sausage-cutting tactic ".I'm afraid only the top leaders of the US government themselves know whether Biden is old or "playing a double act" with other US government departments.
Of course, no matter what the truth behind it, what our country needs to do is to revitalize national defense strength. As long as the People's Liberation Army has the strength to quickly defeat separatist forces and foreign intervention forces, then the initiative to achieve national reunification will be firmly grasped on our side, and these tricks of the United States will not play a role at all. On the contrary, other U.S. government departments publicly deny the remarks of the U.S. president, which is likely to greatly weaken the authority of the U.S. president, undermine internal unity of the U.S. government, and continue to create a handle for Biden's opponents to attack Biden. In any case, this trick of the United States not only cannot stop China's unification process, but will also damage the authority and legitimacy of the government. It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss and is a completely farce.
changes his mind again! Zelensky said he was preparing to meet with Putin and would discuss the armistice issue
In recent weeks, the peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have entered a stagnation stage under the destruction of the West. Many high-level personnel within the Ukrainian government have successively expressed that they will not continue negotiations with Russia and will decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield. Ukrainian President Zelensky even claimed that once the Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol are eliminated, all negotiations with Russia will be stopped. At the same time, the battle between the two sides on the battlefield is becoming increasingly fierce. The battle in the Donbas area has reached its climax. The Ukrainian army has begun to put the reserve team into the battlefield. The Russian army has also dispatched advanced equipment such as Su-57 fighter , BMPT "Terminator" tank support vehicle. Just when all parties believed that Russia and Ukraine would further increase the intensity of the war, Ukrainian President Zelensky changed his mind again. He changed his previous attitude of refusing to negotiate and once again raised his hopes to interview Putin and discuss the issue of a ceasefire.
local time on May 23, Ukraine's UNIAN news agency reported that President Zelensky said on social media that he has made all preparations for an interview with Russian President Putin and will discuss the issue of a ceasefire with Putin. Zelensky claimed that he hoped to meet with Putin alone without any intermediaries and would only discuss the armistice with Putin. As for the specific details and conditions of the armistice agreement, Zelensky did not disclose it to the outside world. On May 18, the two countries had just announced the "indefinite suspension" of peace negotiations. Ukraine also accused the Russian side of the responsibility for the stagnation of negotiations. In just five days, Zelensky called out to Putin without any conditions, claiming that he hoped to meet with Putin. Such a speed of change of mind is really confusing.
Why did Zelensky change his previous tough attitude and once again propose to hold talks with Putin on the issue of arbitrage? This is related to the microclimate on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine and the large climate of the international situation. Let’s first look at the changes in the situation on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine. With the establishment surrender of neo-Nazist armed forces such as the “Azov Camp” that fought for beasts at the Azov Steel Plant, the morale of the Ukrainian armed forces suffered a devastating blow. At present, the Russian army and pro-Russian armed forces have broken into the central urban area of North Donetsk, and a large number of elite Ukrainian troops have been surrounded on three sides. Some analysts believe that North Donetsk may become the second Mariupol.
However, unlike Mariupol, North Donetsk did not have large steel plants and large number of fortifications built during the Soviet period, nor did there be a large number of fanatical neo-Nazis militants, so it was difficult to stick to it like Mariupol; another important town, Chongliman, was also under strong offensive from the Russian army, and there were many gaps in the Ukrainian defense line, and some Ukrainian troops even abandoned their positions and fell into a fleeing. Once these two towns are captured by the Russian army, the Ukrainian heavy army's eastern Wu army may be completely wiped out. If weapons and equipment are lost, they can also be supplemented with Western aid, but if elite troops are completely wiped out, it will not be so easy to rebuild them. Therefore, Ukraine now needs a ceasefire, at least a short-term ceasefire to get a breather.
Let’s take a look at the current international climate.The current international situation is unfavorable for Ukraine, as the United States is shifting its main energy to Asia-Pacific again. Recently, the United States organized the United States- ASEAN Leaders' Summit first. Biden then visited Japan and South Korea non-stop, and then attended the Leaders' Summit of the "Quad-party Security Dialogue Mechanism". During his visit to Japan, Biden even made remarks that "defending Taiwan by force" would cause structural damage to Sino-US relations. Although many departments in the United States subsequently clarified and mainstream media believes that Biden's "nonsense" is due to his old age, in the view of Aerospace Lord, the actions of the United States are more like a double act between the president and his subordinates! Although we cannot fully understand the intentions of the United States, targeting China has become an established fact! Correspondingly, since the United States devotes more energy to the Asia-Pacific region, the energy to aid Ukraine will naturally decline.
At present, senior U.S. officials and senior generals have not made important remarks on the situation in Russia and Ukraine for many consecutive days, which shows that the United States' attention to Ukraine is declining. At the same time, France also claims that it will take at least fifteen to twenty years for Ukraine to join EU . This series of events shows that Western aid to Ukraine is weakening. At present, Ukraine, both in government operations and front-line military, relies heavily on Western financial and material assistance. The West has not yet been cut off. If the West delays for a few more weeks and the West's aid further declines, then the bargaining chips for Ukraine and Russia will be even scarce.
However, it is unlikely that Putin will agree to negotiate with Zelensky on the issue of arbitrage. First of all, it is because Zelensky has been half-hearted about negotiations since the war started and changes his mind almost every few days. Such fickle politicians are not the ideal negotiating targets. Secondly, the Russian army currently holds the initiative in the battlefield, and an encirclement of the Ukrainian heavy army group is forming, while the Ukrainian army has no ability to stop it and lacks the ability to break through. Putin could not give in at this critical time point and give the Ukrainian army a chance to breathe. In short, the Ukrainian government has overdrawn its credibility in many previous rebellions. The possibility of resolving the problem through negotiations is very low. Perhaps Russia and Ukraine can restart negotiations in the future, but it is highly likely that after the decisive battle in Donbas, only in this way can the two countries negotiate a practical and feasible peace plan.
I'm afraid only the top leaders of the US government themselves know whether Biden is old or "playing a double act" with other US government departments.
Of course, no matter what the truth behind it, what our country needs to do is to revitalize national defense strength.
