Musk proposed the "Taiwan Strait Peace Plan", and the Chinese ambassador praised
On October 9, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, in response to the proposal of Tras CEO Elon Musk on "preventing conflicts in the Taiwan Strait can turn Taiwan into a special administrative region in China", Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang expressed his opinion: he praised Musk for maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait and the idea of establishing a special administrative region in Taiwan.
Ambassador Qin Gang emphasized: "Peaceful reunification" and " One country, Two systems " are the basic policies to solve the Taiwan issue and the best way to achieve cross-strait reunification. China's position on the Taiwan issue is consistent and clear, and we are willing to achieve peaceful reunification of the motherland with the utmost sincerity and efforts.
In fact, China has long been able to use force to regain Taiwan, and the People's Liberation Army's military exercises in the Taiwan Strait in early August proved this again. However, the blood of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is thicker than water. The mainland still hopes that the two sides will complete unification in a peaceful manner, and do not fight against compatriots because of their absolute advantage in strength. The situation in the Taiwan Strait continues to be tense, which is entirely caused by the unrealistic political fantasy of the Taiwan authorities' "anti-China independence" and the irresponsible and deep intervention of the US government to sow discord.
Ambassador Qin Gang also pointed out that China's peaceful reunification is conducive to the development of the Asia-Pacific region and even the whole world. As we all know, Musk has a lot of investment in China, and about 40% of the production capacity of Tesla is in mainland China. As a shrewd entrepreneur, Musk certainly knew that business must consider security and geopolitical interests. If conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, Sino-US relations will of course fluctuate, and Musk's investment in China will also be affected. From Musk's statement, we can see that the world's entrepreneurial groups are basically unwilling to see military conflicts break out in the Taiwan Strait.
Only by completing reunification in a peaceful manner can the achievements of globalization in the past few decades be protected, so that people of all countries around the world can share the dividends brought by peaceful reunification, and conflicts can only lead to a situation of losing both sides or losing more. For example, this year's conflict in Russia and Ukraine has caused huge losses to both Russia, Ukraine and European countries.
The United States "slaughtered" European allies and sold high-priced natural gas for profit
Taiwan authorities believe that if they hold on to the United States' thigh, they can "resist the unification with force." However, in the face of interests, the United States can even "slaughter" even its European allies. Where can the Taiwan authorities get the confidence that they can be lucky enough to not be slaughtered by the Americans? In the eyes of the US government, Taiwan is just a "small pawn" that can be fully utilized. Once the United States evaluates "protecting Taiwan", it will seriously damage its own major interests. If necessary, it can be given up without hesitation. According to Russian News Agency On October 10, Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov pointed out: After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Americans are making a fortune and selling natural gas at a price of three or four times. While Europe is purchasing US energy, it also makes its country's economy lose its competitiveness.
The United States and Russia are both major energy exporters, and the United States has always hoped that its European allies can buy US energy in large quantities. During the Trump administration, Trump repeatedly promoted US natural gas and oil to Merkel . However, due to factors such as mining and transportation costs, the price of energy sold to Europe by the United States is much higher than that of Russia, so European countries have not regarded the United States as their main energy partner. Moreover, if Europe increases its cooperation with the United States in energy, its political independence will be greatly reduced. Many efforts by Europe to get rid of the United States after the Cold War will be invalidated.
In order to compete for the European energy market, the United States has been trying to destroy the energy cooperation between Europe and Russia. For example, the United States strongly opposes the construction of the " Nord Stream 2 " natural gas pipeline, and even threatens sanctions against Germany.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States finally waited for the opportunity. Under the ignition of the United States, European countries were forced to join the ranks of sanctions against Russia and began to "decouple" from Russia.After the "North Stream" pipeline was artificially damaged, Europe faced a serious energy shortage, and even the people's winter heating and the stable power supply of electricity at peak winter electricity use in some areas have become problems.
Today, European countries can only grit their teeth and buy energy from the United States at extremely high prices, and even sell for 3 to 4 times the price. The United States counts the money and cramps in both hands, and is so excited that their legs are weak, while European countries can only sit and wait for death and passively "being slaughtered". On October 6, French President Macron finally spoke out in desperation and publicly expressed dissatisfaction: The United States sells energy to France at a price of four times the price is not the true meaning of friendship.
The rise in energy prices in Europe has led to a significant increase in production costs for enterprises, and its industrial competitiveness has also been greatly reduced. There has even been a momentum of industrial transfer and de-industrialization of . Due to the rise in energy prices, Germany's electricity price is about 10 times that of China's electricity price, which will undoubtedly have a huge blow to the manufacturing industry in Europe.
This year, the investment in China by well-known German auto companies and chemical companies has increased significantly, which has a lot to do with the continuous increase in production costs in Germany. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought huge losses to Europe. In terms of absolute losses, Europe is undoubtedly the sucker of this Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It was foolishly sold by the United States and had to help the United States count the money.
Why do Russian scholars predict that "Russia will definitely be defeated"?
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict allowed the United States to take the opportunity to harvest capital in Europe and hit Russia's energy exports. On October 9, Russian historian Irina Shebakova predicted that Russia would be defeated in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Shebakova said from a historical perspective, she believed that Russia did not learn from the Afghan War , and Ukraine would definitely win with the assistance of the West.
From a realistic perspective, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has indeed exposed some shortcomings and weaknesses of the Russian army, and Russia's military strength is very different from outside expectations. Russia's proud military reform results - Synthetic Battalion , proved to be not suitable for use on large-scale battlefields. It has strong firepower on the surface, but the number of people is insufficient, which all leads to the synthetic battalion relying heavily on logistics supplies. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, the insufficient number of people in the synthetic battalion will lead to a large amount of heavy equipment not being repaired in time, and can only be discarded on the battlefield for the Ukrainian army to seize it. The weak logistical capabilities of the Russian army led to a large number of synthetic battalions being paralyzed during the attack. The encirclement of Kiev and was eventually left unresolved, which also proves from the side that Russia is no longer able to provide sufficient logistical supplies for a large-scale offensive.
, and Ukraine has indeed achieved considerable results in its recent counterattack, and even repelled the Russian army head-on, occupying many strategic areas. However, Russia will certainly learn from its recent mistakes. By partially mobilizing newly recruited troops, they will arrive in the eastern Ukraine region in the near future. In addition, the colder weather in winter will be more conducive to defense and other factors, it is actually difficult to stick to the territory that Ukraine regains. As we all know, Ukraine's recent advantages were only achieved with the support of continuous military aid from the United States and other Western countries. Now, European and American countries have generally seen a sharp decline in their willingness to aid Ukraine. It is not easy for Ukraine to maintain the advantages gained on the battlefield. It is too early for Russian scholars to draw conclusions on the outcome of this war.
