After Foreign Minister Tras threatened that NATO should "protect" Taiwan, the UK was exposed to discussing the conflict response plan for the Taiwan Strait with the US senior management for the first time, and even talked about what role the UK should play once the United States starts war with the mainland for Taiwan. .

The above news was disclosed by the British media "Financial Times" on May 1. The report said that the U.S. officials involved in the dialogue were Campbell, the White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs, and Rosenberg, senior director of China Affairs at the National Security Council, but the British representative did not say. During the Indo-Pacific strategic talks in early March, the dialogue between the U.S. and the UK reached a wide range of issues, including how Britain carried out more "diplomacy" with Taiwan, how to strengthen its deterrence capabilities in Asia, and even if the United States ended up with Taiwan and the mainland. What role will Britain play when war begins.

The Financial Times also quoted senior Taiwanese officials as saying that Taiwan has noticed that the United States has tried to get more allies to participate in the "Taiwan Project". "They have been working with Japan and Australia, and now they are trying to cooperate with the United Kingdom." He looks like he is being complacent after finding more "helpers" to fight.

This action in the UK can be traced. On September 27, 2021, the British frigate "Richmond" passed through the flight Taiwan Strait and was publicly hyped.

In February this year, the lower house of the British Parliament passed a non-legal binding motion for the so-called "British-Taiwan relations and cooperation". The motion claims that the UK should strengthen economic and trade relations with Taiwan, deepen security cooperation, and support Taiwan to receive more "international recognition." On March 30, the British think tank International Strategic Research Institute published a research report on "State Stability and European Security in the Taiwan Strait". The report believes that European powers are unwilling to strengthen relations with Taiwan over the past 20 years because of concerns about Beijing's retaliation or loss of the mainland market. However, in recent years, the mainland's "wolf warrior diplomacy" has been increasingly criticized by Europe and has also created space for Taiwan-Europe exchanges. "How Europe should assist Taiwan in fighting against Chinese aggression is a topic that remains to be considered and practiced." At the end of April, US Secretary of State Blinken crazy about "helping Taiwan resist mainland aggression", British Foreign Secretary Tras arrogantly declared in London that NATO should become "a global NATO" The so-called "threats" around the world, such as "protecting Taiwan from mainland China."

Britain obviously forgot the blood debts they owe in China and the tenacious resistance they have suffered. Starting from the Opium War , the history of British invasion of China is also a heroic history of resistance and aggression by the Chinese people. Lin Zexu , Sanyuanli anti-British alliance, resisting British and French coalition forces, resisting Eight-Nation coalition forces ... Even if facing the West The Chinese people never surrendered.

Britain also committed crimes of aggression against the people of Taiwan very early on. During the First Opium War, British warships were anchored at Jilong Port (now Keelung Port ), causing the Qing Dynasty defenders in Taiwan to fight back. Later, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, Britain was the first Western power to establish a consulate in Taiwan, plundering Taiwan's resources and oppressing the people on the island. In Hong Kong, Britain also underwent colonial rule for more than a century.

Britain should be glad that the two World Wars were in the same camp as China. In modern times, the Chinese people will not forget that on May 7, 1999, the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO and three Chinese journalists died. As the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hua Chunying pointed out: Don’t forget, “NATO still owes China a bloody debt.”

At the same time, we also ask the UK not to forget that just as your "Richmond" frigate passed through the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command organized naval and air forces to follow the supervision and guard the entire process.Shi Yi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater Command, said that the British side wasted their efforts to "existence". This behavior was bad intent, undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and fully exposing its speculative mentality.

British should not forget that Britain is no longer the "Empire of the Sun" in the 19th century, and the "glory" of the so-called "world hegemony" is no longer there. Although "a lean camel is bigger than a horse", after World War II , British Empire had collapsed. In addition to fighting Argentina , he fought his own battle (in fact, the United States also helped a lot), Aren’t the wars fought in any part of the world following the American butt to pretend to be powerful? Whether it is Iraq , Afghanistan or Libya , which battle is not like this? Moreover, with the withdrawal of Hong Kong in 1997, Britain did not have important naval bases in Asia. Whether it was the Air Force or the Navy, Britain was no longer a rival to the People's Liberation Army.

Entering the 21st century, Britain attempts to follow the United States to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, which is not only its concerns about its declining national power and its concerns about China's rise, but also reflects its overestimation. Do the British still think they live in the era of "the sun never sets"? Do you think that the naval ships and gunship of the British Empire can rush around the world and label wherever you go as your own sphere of influence?

advises some British politicians not to "play with fire" on the Taiwan issue. There is only one China in the world. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and concerns China's core interests and does not allow any external interference. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. China will never agree to any wrong signal to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence".
