In recent years, Taiwan issue has become a key issue affecting Sino-US relations . Although China has repeatedly warned the United States not to interfere in China's internal affairs, the United States is still obsessed with it. Especially since this year, the United States' provocations on the Taiwan issue have become increasingly fierce.
On August 2 this year, then Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Pelosi ignored China's repeated warnings and insisted on visiting Taiwan, causing the situation in the Taiwan Strait to escalate sharply and the Sino-US relations to deteriorate sharply. China subsequently announced eight countermeasures, and at the same time, the People's Liberation Army held practical exercises around Taiwan.
However, the United States not only did not restrain itself, but continued to provoke China in the Taiwan Strait, and also sent warship across Taiwan Strait to demonstrate to China. A series of provocative actions in the United States have led to increasingly tense relations between China and the United States, and have also caused concerns among countries around the world.
It was not until not long ago that the Chinese and US dollar leaders held their first face-to-face talks in Bali, Indonesia, that relations between the two countries showed signs of easing. During the talks between the Chinese and US dollar heads, China emphasized the Taiwan issue and stated that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and the political foundation of China-US relations.
while US President Biden promised during the talks that the United States would continue to adhere to the one-China principle and reiterated that the United States does not support "Taiwan independence". After the talks between the Chinese and US heads of state talks, the interaction between China and the United States began to increase, and the defense ministers of the two countries also held talks again after five months.
During the Sino-US Defense Ministers' talks, China's State Councilor and Minister of Defense Wei Fenghe once again emphasized that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations. U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin also promised that the United States would continue to adhere to the one-China policy.
However, as soon as China's warning was finished, the United States launched another provocation on the Taiwan issue. It is reported that recently, the US think tank CSIS released a research report, clamoring that if mainland China "destroys Taiwan by force", it will pay a heavy price and will be isolated by various countries.
reported that the report believes that before "martial conquest of Taiwan", mainland China will remind foreign governments and investors, but will not send a clear signal. After receiving the reminder, Washington will issue a warning to Beijing and call on allies to deter China.
However, the report pointed out that even if the United States conducts military intervention in the early stage, it can only delay time and will not change the final result. However, the report believes that once the "military withdrawal of Taiwan" operation begins, China's economy will be negatively affected immediately, such as commercial shipping will be suspended soon and air transportation will also be affected.
And as the supply chain is cut off, the financial market will panic. The report believes that China may take urgent measures by then, but these measures cannot prevent foreign companies and foreign capital from flowing out. The United States will join forces with its allies to impose economic sanctions on China.
Therefore, the report believes that even if the mainland successfully "sweeps away Taiwan by force", it will be a "miserable victory". Moreover, after the "Martial Restoration of Taiwan" operation is over, China will be isolated by the international community in terms of economic aspects. In addition, in terms of diplomacy, China will also face tremendous pressure, which will prevent China from becoming a superpower.
From this report by the US think tank, it is not difficult to see that the United States has not given up interfering in the Taiwan issue. As for some of the content mentioned in the report, the US needs to be clear about some facts. First of all, the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs and no country has the right to interfere. Even if mainland China decides to "stop Taiwan by force", the United States is not qualified to make trouble.
Secondly, given the gap in military strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, once the "martial collection of Taiwan" operation begins, it will end soon and will not affect the supply chain and financial markets. If the United States dares to impose economic sanctions on China, China will also fight back, so the so-called "miserable victory" is completely speculation by the United States.
Finally, the report stated that mainland China will not be able to become a superpower after "reclamating Taiwan by force".In this regard, China needs to emphasize that China has never said it would become a superpower. China's goal of pursuing development is to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, rather than pursuing the status of a superpower like the United States.
The content in the US think tank report not only reflects the United States' ambition to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, but also reflects the United States' Cold War thinking and hegemonic ideas. On the Taiwan issue, China's attitude and position are very firm, and any separatist plot to stop unification will be strongly counterattacked. Therefore, I advise the United States to recognize the reality and stop interfering in China's internal affairs to avoid asking for trouble.
