Faced with the big moves made by China’s three major airlines, it can be said that “some people are happy and some are worried.” The one that is naturally happy is the European Airbus, which is obviously the biggest winner in this transaction.
Under the influence of the epidemic, the economies of various countries have been significantly affected. Now that China's three major airlines have reached huge orders with Airbus, it is undoubtedly a great event for the operation of Airbus and the European economy. .
However, as the biggest competitor of Airbus, the American Boeing Company is not happy. You know, in the past, Boeing was the largest partner of major Chinese airlines.
Although major Chinese airlines have also purchased aircraft from Airbus before, more aircraft are purchased from Boeing Company, and China is also a major customer of Boeing.
However, China's three major airlines have now reached huge orders with Airbus. Boeing must be very upset because it missed out on a huge order worth US$37.257 billion.
However, as the relationship between China and the United States becomes increasingly tense and the United States’ suppression of China becomes more and more serious, it is inevitable that cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises will decrease.
However, this is obviously not a scene that the United States wants to see, especially when inflation in the United States is becoming more and more serious and economic problems are becoming more and more troublesome. Boeing's loss of a large order of 37.257 billion has made the United States very frustrated.
It is worth noting that just after Boeing lost its 37.257 billion order, senior US military generals took the initiative to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait, which attracted widespread attention from the outside world.
As we all know, in order to suppress China, the United States has frequently played the "Taiwan card" in recent years. It not only made wrong remarks related to Taiwan, but also colluded with the Taiwan authorities in an attempt to "use Taiwan to contain China."
However, just recently, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley publicly stated that China's attack on Taiwan is not imminent, but only possible.
According to reports, Mark Milley was recently asked in an interview with BBC whether he thought mainland China would use force against Taiwan. His answer was: "Maybe, it should be, maybe it will."
Mark Milley also emphasized that these are all is the key word for the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Analysts believe that Mark Milley used multiple adjectives in succession to emphasize that "mainland's attack on Taiwan" is only a possibility.
Although Mark Milley also said that the mainland is developing the ability to attack Taiwan, he also emphasized that the United States has not seen any signs that a "mainland attack on Taiwan" is imminent.
This is obviously different from the analysis of the situation in the Taiwan Strait by Biden administration officials. Recently, the United States has frequently played the "Taiwan card", and American officials have even predicted the time when "the mainland will attack Taiwan."
As the top general of the US military, Mark Milley said that "mainland's attack on Taiwan" is only a possibility. There is currently no sign that the People's Liberation Army will do so. This is obviously to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Not only that, Mark Milley’s interview was also reported by Western media such as the United States and France. It is obviously meant to be widely disseminated. So what is the intention of the top general of the US military to make this statement at this time?
Experts believe there are two reasons for this. First, China has recently issued a strong warning against the interference of the United States and its allies in the Taiwan Strait situation. The United States is obviously aware of the importance of this matter and has therefore restrained its behavior.
The second is that the current economic problems in the United States are becoming more and more serious. The Biden administration hopes to ease relations with China and thereby increase Sino-US cooperation in the field of trade to alleviate the economic problems of the United States.
Under this premise, it is absolutely unwise for the United States to continue to play the "Taiwan card", so senior US military generals will take the initiative to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Moreover, after Boeing lost a large order of 37.257 billion, the United States has obviously realized that bad relations with China will only cause American companies to lose more profits.
In other words, faced with China’s dual warnings in the military and economic fields, the Biden administration has obviously given in, so it has taken the initiative to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
But this does not mean that the United States will completely give up playing the "Taiwan card." As we all know, the United States is a country where interests come first. As long as it is beneficial to the interests of the United States, the United States can change its attitude at any time.
Therefore, even if the United States currently takes the initiative to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait, China must remain highly vigilant. But the United States needs to be reminded that no matter what means they use, they cannot change the fact that there is one China, nor can they change the outcome that China must be unified. The United States is advised to take care of itself to avoid getting burned.
