According to the Financial Times, Washington is seriously considering Taiwan’s request, and will change the name of Taiwan’s representative office in Washington from “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” to “Taiwan Representative Office.” According to reports, White House Indo-Pacific Coordinator Campbell supports the name change and the US is evaluating the risks of doing so. This report has caused strong responses on the island, and both the US and Taiwan officials refused to respond positively to the relevant reports.

There is another news that high-level "national security" officials of the United States and Taiwan held face-to-face talks in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, less than an hour away from Washington. Both of the above news were revealed closely following the call between Chinese and US dollar leaders.

It must be pointed out that if the United States and Taiwan make the above name change, it will mean that Washington has basically abandoned the One China policy, which constitutes a major event surrounding the Taiwan issue. Lithuania had previously announced that it would use the name "Taiwan" to set up an office with Taiwan, but was strongly resisted by China. If the United States does the same, it will undoubtedly have a wide demonstration effect on its allies, bringing about a wave of name change for Taiwan's representative offices in those countries.

The US side knows that this matter is extraordinary. They are now in the stage of revealing news and testing the reaction of mainland China. What are the best tests for

? They want to push things to the critical point of showdown. Mainland China has no choice but to meet the challenge and prepare to showdown with it.

If the United States changes to use the "Taiwan Representative Office" as the name of Taiwan's agency in the United States, the diplomatic reaction made by the mainland will never be lower than our reaction to Lithuania. At that time, China's recall of the ambassador from the United States is completely expected, and this is likely to be the "minimum reaction" of China's diplomacy. Otherwise, China will not be able to establish its authority for the one-China principle.

Currently, under the instigation and leadership of the United States, some Western countries are ready to play the "Taiwan card". If China "made small and enlarged", it would not work. If we want to maintain the bottom line of one-China, we must block the United States, otherwise it will mean that we are ready to accept more "Taiwan Representative Offices" appearing in the capitals of a number of countries.

Diplomatic methods alone are obviously not enough. If the United States and Taiwan operate to change their names, it is suspected of touching the red line of the Anti-Secession Law. The mainland needs to introduce severe economic and military measures to combat the arrogance of the United States and Taiwan. At that time, the mainland should severely punish Taiwan economically until it imposes an economic blockade on Taiwan as appropriate.

Military, mainland fighter jets should fly over Taiwan Island in that situation, and include Taiwan’s airspace in the PLA cruise range, which is a step that the mainland must take sooner or later. The name change of the US-Taiwan Representative Office provides a sufficient reason for the mainland to strengthen the declaration of sovereignty over Taiwan in this way. We don’t expect the Taiwanese military to dare to stop the PLA fighter jets from flying over Taiwan Island. If the Taiwanese military dares to open fire, then we will resolutely give the "Taiwan independence" forces a decisive and devastating blow.

What is important is that if the mainland tolerate the United States and Taiwan this time, they will definitely go further next. It is rumored that this high-level "national security" official meeting was held in Annapolis, and Taiwanese participants included "Foreign Minister" Wu Zhaoxie. If so, they will hold the meeting publicly next time, and even take it to the State Department building in Washington to open. There is also the so-called "Democracy Summit" at the end of the year. If we do not curb the arrogance of the United States and Taiwan, Washington might really invite Tsai Ing-wen to attend, which would be worse in nature than Lee Teng-hui's visit to the United States as an "allum" in 1995.

If China endures all this for peace and swallows it, will peace come? If we do not resolutely and strongly fight back, the US warships will dock in Taiwan, fighter jets will land in Taiwan, and its troops may also be stationed in Taiwan. Where will China's prestige of a great power be placed at that time? How will China maintain its system of safeguarding its own interests internationally?

The fact is that a will has been formed around the Taiwan issue. Since Beijing has declared to the outside world that Taiwan is China's core interests, we will definitely protect the bottom line of this national interest with resolute actions and pay any price for it.If the DPP authorities dare to risk triggering a war to promote name change, and the United States, which has just been defeated from Afghanistan, is not afraid of being involved in a new war, then what is there to be afraid of in mainland China?

It seems that the Taiwan Strait will sooner or later usher in a storm, which will be a veritable earth-shaking wave. Given the current trends of the United States and Taiwan, they have retracted and will step on the next step. We need to be prepared now and be ready to "break their legs" in the Taiwan Strait at any time.

The United States has been playing with word games, hoping to avoid the evolution of "competition" between China and the United States into "conflict". We must use actions to clearly tell them that "competition" with China on the Taiwan issue must become a serious conflict, and there is no room for maneuver.
