A latest report from The Washington Post made the green camp on Taiwan Island quite excited.

report seriously "focused" on the "Taiwanese Volunteer Army" entering Ukraine to participate in the war, forcibly linking the Ukrainian crisis to the Taiwan issue, exaggerating a wave of "China threats", and also helping the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island to "anti-China independence" to seek independence".

But what about the facts? This so-called "Taiwanese Volunteer Army" is said to have only about 10 people in total. Some of them worked as tour guides in Taiwan, and some delivered food delivery, but when they entered Ukraine, they were immediately praised by major American media like Huayou and a number of green media on the island, saying that they embodies Taiwan’s “spirit of helping others and themselves”, gained “valuable battlefield experience”, and even won “voluntary support from soldiers from many countries.”

The green camp on the island and the external "independence" forces are weird enough to regard such strange materials as "Taiwan's pride".

The Washington Post on the 3rd made a "big article" specifically for the so-called "Taiwanese Volunteers" on the battlefield in Ukraine.

"Beware of China's threat, Taiwanese join Ukraine in fighting against Russia." Just one title revealed the purpose, obviously to link the situation in Ukraine to the Taiwan issue, and to strengthen Taiwan and external forces’ "concerns" about the mainland’s "martial reunification".

Just looking at the title, I thought how big is this Taiwanese volunteer army ? In fact, even the two reporters from Huayou did not find out how many people joined the Ukrainian International Volunteer Army. But according to the interviewees, there are only about 10 people who have the full calculation.

Even if there are only a few people, it is enough for Huayou to "dig in depth".

report accurately locked several typical examples used to "show that Taiwanese people are of great significance to join the war in Ukraine." One of them is Zhuang Yu-wei from Taoyuan.

This man is now 51 years old. He used to be a tour guide in Taiwan and served in Taiwan in the 1990s. After entering Ukraine in March, he participated in patrols near the front line of Kharkov, and also worked as a few other things such as helping the kitchen, moving supplies and digging trenches.

report actually gave the man surnamed Zhuang an opportunity to self-express his "noble sentiment". He said, "Taiwan cannot just be a giant baby, crying and asking others for help, but not willing to help others." "If you want others to help you, you must first lend a helping hand."

He was also moved by himself, saying that Kiev blocked the Russian siege, which made him "ignite hope for Taiwan" and said that "helping Ukraine is equivalent to buying time for Taiwan." After

showed the "help others and help oneself" spirit, the second example came: Chen Ting-wei, a 27-year-old man who had received Taiwan's " frogman " training.

This person appeared in the report to prove that coming to the front line of Ukraine not only allowed the Taiwanese to "accumulate valuable battlefield experience" but also "wind support from the people of other countries for Taiwan."

What is "valuable battlefield experience"? Chen Tingwei told how he and his soldiers fled the trench bombed by the Russian army in advance "less than a minute" and saved his life. Therefore, "the most important experience he gained on the battlefield is agility."

Agility... To put it bluntly, just get out as soon as possible?

What other "support from other countries" has it won? Chen said that when he told the soldiers of other countries that they were from Taiwan, the soldiers promised that if China "recovered Taiwan by force", they would "see you in Taiwan".

This Chen Tingwei turned around and regarded several foreign soldiers as the "plenipotentiary representatives" of their country.He described to the Chinese Post reporter that "people from Polish , the United States, Australia, Brazil and Ukraine" all expressed this to him.

As soon as this report from the Washington Post came out, some media on the island were very excited and exaggerated and beautified during the reprinting and introduction process.

Some Taiwanese media said that "soldiers from many countries were inspired by the efforts of Taiwanese volunteer soldiers to aid Ukraine without hesitation", and "voluntarily shouted" if the mainland "reunification of military force" Taiwan will "see you." That posture is like if "soldiers from Taiwan" are not met by then, the "soldiers of many countries" will have to regret that they will commit suicide by wiping their necks.

In fact, in the China Post report, there was also a 26-year-old man named Pan (Pan) with the surname Hsinchu . He picked some of the problems of the Taiwan Army . For example, compared with what we saw and heard in the Ukrainian army, the Taiwan Army did not pay enough attention to soldiers with special skills. "In Taiwan, our electronic warfare experts are inferior to traditional troops, and the Taiwan Army is still encouraging the use of bayonets."

Of course, what this person and he said did not appear in the translation and retelling of Taiwanese media.

In fact, in cooperation with the United States and other Western countries to exaggerate tensions in the Taiwan Strait through the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, especially hyping up the "military threat" of the mainland. American and European media have done a lot of such actions. The Taiwanese people who went to Ukraine to be a "volunteer army" to "support democracy and freedom" have appeared in major Western media more than once.

Before this report on China Job, on June 20, BBC Chinese website had conducted an exclusive interview with a Taiwanese " volunteer soldier " named Lee Cheng-ling. "It's a coincidence", Li Chengling also appeared in the report on Huayou on the 3rd.

hype it up to connect Taiwan and Ukraine. It is not only the American media is keen on, but also the senior officials of Washington will take the initiative to mention it from time to time.

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Millie In an interview with the BBC, he first gave an ambiguous answer on whether China would attack Taiwan by force: "Maybe, should, or maybe, these are the keywords that describe this matter."

"maybe", "should" "maybe"... Next, Milly expressed three meanings on these keywords.

First, "In terms of capabilities, I think China is obviously developing a capability."

Second, "Whether they will attack, this is a political choice, a policy choice. That will be based on how China evaluates the cost risk benefits at that time."

Third, "There is no imminent sign or warning at the moment", and the United States is "observing the situation very, very closely."

The highest intelligence official in the United States has also publicly expressed similar judgments recently.

Haynes , the U.S. director of national intelligence, said on June 29 that although the Chinese leader regards unification of Taiwan as a goal, she believes that mainland China "still prefers to use peaceful means rather than use force" and that "there is no sign" that mainland China is now intending to attack Taiwan by force.

Look, don’t they quite understand?

This is exactly the attitude of mainland China: the People's Liberation Army of China is determined and capable of thwarting any external interference and "Taiwan independence" separatist plots, and resolutely defend national sovereignty, security and regional peace and stability. At the same time, how to solve the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, and no other country has the right to interfere.

3 Rewind a little further and you will find that it is also Mili, who once publicly speculated on the PLA's "attacking Taiwan ability".

On May 3, Millie and Defense Secretary Austin attended a panel hearing on the Senate Appropriations Committee and were questioned by lawmakers on the $773 billion Pentagon budget proposed by the Biden administration in fiscal year 2023.

Milly claimed at the time: "The possibility of serious international conflicts between major powers is increasing."

As for what "serious international conflicts" it is, Mili said, "Taiwan has always been China's military target. The Chinese authorities require the People's Liberation Army to be prepared in terms of capabilities and have the ability to occupy Taiwan. This is a very difficult task. Whether China can really achieve this military plan remains to be seen. But no matter he Whether we can have that ability is a goal. In 2027, we must remember this point."

It takes only two months to set the so-called "military unification" timetable for us from secretly placing a secretly stunningly to "attacking Taiwan by force" is a matter of "possible", "should" and "maybe"...

In fact, the US argument that mainland China "has the ability to attack Taiwan in 2027" is not new.

The "China Military Power Report" released by the US Department of Defense in November 2021 stated that "China's goal of rapidly promoting military modernization is to have the ability to fight against the US military in the Indo-Pacific region by 2027 and force the Taiwan leadership to negotiate on the conditions of Beijing."

The United States has previously reported that "the People's Liberation Army has the ability to attack Taiwan in 2025."

From the media to the political circles and the military, all sectors of the United States frequently make plausible statements on issues related to Taiwan, or try to copy the "Ukrainian experience" in Taiwan, and some scholars have revealed the mystery.

First, by exaggerating the sense of urgency of the so-called "China threat", we seek legitimacy for the huge national defense budget.

This is easy to understand. Millie gave the specific time of "2027" at the Pentagon budget hearing; and when facing the reporter's interview, he said a set of vague rhetoric.

Second, the US forces in containing China have formed a path dependence on "using Taiwan to control China", which can not only deter mainland China, but also lay the foundation for continuing to sell arms to Taiwan.

In the middle, Washington's intention to treat Taiwan as a pawn is so obvious, but the DPP authorities are eager to use the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to achieve the "internationalization of the Taiwan issue."

" Foreign Minister " Wu Zhaoxie has been busy in the past six months, busy accepting interviews from international media, speaking out in the international community, exaggerating the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on Taiwan, and the so-called "China threat."

Wu Zhaoxie believes that "a sea separated from mainland China" and "playing a key role in the global high-tech supply chain" are Taiwan's two major advantages, and he tries to win more support from the international community with the so-called "global democratic camp must unite." The logic of

is the same as the logic that a few Taiwanese people mentioned before that "help" Ukraine, and Taiwan will receive "aid" from democratic countries in the future. It is too self-indulgent.

Ukraine issue ultimately comes down to the diplomatic and security issues in the context of the game between great powers. The Taiwan issue is an unfair Chinese internal affairs issue, and of course the two cannot be confused.

The "Taiwan independence" forces tried their best to internationalize the Taiwan issue while the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and use this to "reform" as a "country". It is impossible to achieve.
