According to foreign media reports, Taiwan authorities leader Tsai Ing-wen recently accepted a document submitted by Guatemala "representative in Taiwan" Badia. The latter promised to "protect Taiwan" in front of Tsai Ing-wen, said that he would "defend freedom and sovereignty", and clamored that " authoritarian countries should stop threatening Taiwan."
Not only that, Badia also took the initiative to send an invitation to Tsai Ing-wen, hoping that she could participate in the "Taiwan Friendship Summit" to be held in 2023 to further reiterate her support for the Taiwan authorities. But in fact, Taiwan's "friends" are just a dozen small, unpopular countries, and I'm sure they won't be able to make any waves.
Regarding this matter, my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning responded at a press conference on the 20th. She stated that the "one-China principle" is a recognized norm of international relations. The Taiwan authorities' use of so-called "friendly countries" to engage in political manipulation is doomed to failure. She also advised relevant countries not to help others.
In fact, this kind of boring political drama has been repeated countless times since the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, but there is one basic fact that the Taiwan authorities cannot deny no matter what. That is their "diplomatic countries", which have been declining rapidly in the past few years. If it were not for the intervention of the United States, I believe that more countries would have severed ties with the Taiwan authorities.
After the Democratic Progressive Party suffered a huge defeat in the island's election, it is in urgent need of saving its face in other areas. However, due to Taiwan's mainstream public opinion, tolerance for the Democratic Progressive Party has reached its limit, so they can only continue to show off in the Western public opinion arena and continue to hype the so-called "resist China and protect Taiwan."
A small country like Guatemala not only obeys the words of the United States, but is also extremely keen on provoking the mainland. Therefore, it has naturally become the best partner for the DPP.
But the reality is cruel after all. The "representative" of Guatemala said that he would insist on "protecting Taiwan". This verbal promise is empty and weak, and it is completely directed at the "gold-dollar diplomacy" of the Taiwan authorities. You must know that the country has little money and resources, and its military strength is even inferior to Taiwan. How can they achieve what they call "protecting Taiwan"?
Therefore, what is really worthy of vigilance is still the United States, which stands behind the DPP and commands everything remotely. Recently, Japanese media released news that the United States is planning to send "permanent personnel" to the economic, administrative, legislative and other departments of the Taiwan authorities starting next year in accordance with the latest " National Defense Authorization Act ".
's euphemistic name is for "learning and exchange", but in fact, as the "Taiwan Emperor", it fully takes over the key real power departments on the island, from behind the scenes planning directly to the front, which is equivalent to indirectly evading the Taiwanese government.
In addition, the Biden administration has begun to accelerate the hollowing out of TSMC. In addition to the Arizona branch, five factories will be established in the United States in the next few years. It is foreseeable that when TSMC's most advanced chip manufacturing technology flows into the United States, Washington will have even less bottom line than it does now.
At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has entered the most serious moment in decades. "Taiwan independence" and anti-"Taiwan independence", interference and counter-intervention, various forces are intertwined and colliding with each other. Since the global economy is likely to enter a period of violent turmoil in 2023, the U.S. economy is likely to stagnate or even regress.
When the financial card, technology card, and trade card fail to work, the Biden administration will not rule out taking risks. After all, in order to maintain its hegemony, the United States can do anything, and their lower limit must not be underestimated.
After all, for the United States, weakening Russia through the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not enough to let it sit back and relax. Only when a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait and drags the mainland into the water can they really achieve their goal. In other words, the situation across the Taiwan Strait in the next few years will put great pressure on our reunification.
However, the U.S. conspiracy will not succeed so easily. The more the United States and the West hope for chaos in the Taiwan Strait, the more we must maintain a high enough strategic focus and promote "anti-independence and promote reunification" in accordance with our own established policies, instead of following Washington's footsteps.
The West’s current crazy actions on the Taiwan Strait issue just show that they are close to having no cards to play with. Whoever can stay clearer at this time and not be affected by external noise will have the last laugh. Since the reunification of the motherland will be realized sooner or later, we will not be entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one pool.
