On Taiwan-related issues, the United States used destroyers and P-8A to sail through the Taiwan Strait; it intentionally deleted statements such as "does not support Taiwan independence" and "Taiwan is part of China"; President Biden also borrowed " "Slip of the tongue", he said, "The United States will militarily prevent the Chinese mainland from reunifying Taiwan. This is our commitment"; it even encouraged the Taiwan authorities to introduce "asymmetric weapons" from the United States to truly create a threat to the mainland, etc. In addition, the United States has some ideas that can be called "arrogant." For example, someone in the US military threatened to "lay mines" in the Yellow Sea and the Pearl River Delta to deter China from withdrawing from Taiwan.
According to reports from Observer website , U.S. Navy Commander Victor Duno recently made wild remarks. He said that in order to deal with the so-called "continental military threat", the U.S. Navy can deploy mines in the Yellow Sea and Pearl River Delta , he believes that this move can effectively deter mainland China from taking military actions against Taiwan.
In response, Chinese naval analyst Li Jie said that laying mines is a nasty measure that will put China's warships and commercial ships in high danger. If the United States really does this, It will be counterproductive, China will not come to the negotiating table, and the US move also violates international law.
In addition, Li Jie also emphasized that if the U.S. Navy really implements this action, it will inevitably lead to China taking tit-for-tat measures. For example, China can also lay mines in waterways used by U.S. ships, and the People's Liberation Army already has, Related plans to prevent other countries from sending submarines to lay mines along China's coast.
It can be seen from here that the relationship between China and the United States is indeed very tense. The US military is already actively discussing how to deal with China, and this kind of discussion is no longer a secret. They have no scruples to talk about it. In fact The above is creating psychological pressure on China and exaggerating the tense situation.
Not long ago, US President Biden suddenly announced that he would soon hold an online meeting with China. Combining these two pieces of information, the reason why the US Navy threatened to "lay mines along the coast of China" may be during the meeting. Previously, it put pressure on China so that the United States could occupy a more favorable position during negotiations and meetings. So, is it really possible that the relationship between China and the United States will deteriorate to the point of war?
It can be said responsibly that although China is peace-loving, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The rise of China has made the United States feel like a thorn in the back. Former U.S. President Obama once publicly stated that if the 1.3 billion Chinese people live like Americans Such a life would be a disaster for the whole world. It is obvious that the United States wants to curb the rise and development of China. A weak China is in the interest of the United States. Only a China that only produces low-end products and cannot challenge the United States in high technology will make the superpower feel at ease.
From this perspective, China's great cause of national rejuvenation has formed an irreconcilable contradiction with the hegemony of the United States. Will the United States allow China to develop without restrictions, threatening its hegemony? There is no doubt that this is impossible. Therefore, as long as China continues to develop and as long as China refuses to make strategic concessions to the United States, the United States will use all means, including war, to interrupt China's rise.
The Taiwan issue is an excellent tool used by the United States to interrupt China's rise, because the Taiwan issue is related to China's core interests. Taiwan is an inherent and indivisible part of China. On this issue, as China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China has no retreat.
Therefore, the United States will use the Taiwan issue to lure China to send troops, and then, under the banner of "maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait," impose sanctions on China or even directly intervene with troops to interrupt China's rise by force. This is a naked conspiracy. One day, it is indeed possible for China and the United States to meet each other at war. We must take precautions and make early preparations.
