Interference in the Taiwan Strait issue has now become one of the means used by Western countries to contain China. Recently, the US Senate and the House of Representatives reached an agreement and passed the "2023 Defense Budget Act." There are many contents in the bill that "include private goods", including the so-called "providing US$10 billion in arms financing to Taiwan within 5 years, expanding arms sales, and promoting joint exercises between the US military and the Taiwan military." It clearly means inciting "Taiwan independence" forces and seriously violates the "one-China principle" and its commitment to China.
The Russian Intelligence Director also publicly reminded China that the United States intends to shake China's internal situation. On the 19th, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Director Naryshkin issued a document stating that the United States is seeking to promote tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the Korean Peninsula in order to maintain its own order, and is using China's internal problems to seek to shake China's internal situation. What the United States has done on the Taiwan Strait issue has been witnessed by all countries in the world, but recently one country has openly provoked China.
A few days ago, the Ministry of National Defense of Ukraine released a one-minute short video on social media, aiming to express its gratitude to the 52 "countries" who had "volunteers" go to Ukraine to assist and fight with the Ukrainian army against the Russian army. Among them, the "fake flag" of Taiwan was also It was impressively listed, and the "Black Bauhinia Flag" used by the Hong Kong independence organization was also posted. It is obvious that Ukraine's move has violated the "One China Principle". If the inclusion of the "false flag" in the short film was unintentional, then calling Taiwan a "country" is challenging China's bottom line.
In fact, Ukraine has been closely following the United States on the Taiwan Strait issue. In October this year, Ukrainian Congressman Rudyk and others visited Taiwan. During this period, Joseph Wu said that Taiwan would donate NT$1.8 billion to Ukraine to assist Ukraine in rebuilding hospitals, schools and other critical infrastructure. Not only that, Wu Zhaoxie also told Rudick that he believed that the Ukrainians would be able to drive the Russian army out of Ukraine and win the final victory.
At that time, a Ukrainian congressman also said on social media: "It is an honor to be the first Ukrainian congressman to visit Taiwan and meet with Tsai Ing-wen." Rudick publicly called Tsai Ing-wen "President," which is provoking the "one-China principle." Nowadays, many political parties in Ukraine have begun to play the "Taiwan card" for their own selfish interests. However, if the Zelensky government dares to confront China on the Taiwan Strait issue, then China will definitely counterattack.
Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, China has not provided direct assistance to Russia. Instead, it has provided humanitarian aid worth a total of 15 million yuan to Ukraine, including medicines, food, etc., which are what the Ukrainian people need most. On the other hand, the tens of billions of supplies provided by the United States are all weapons and equipment, which add fuel to the fire. From this, it can be seen that China has always stood in a just and neutral position in dealing with the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
But the Ukrainian government is "ungrateful". Just last month, Zelensky stated in an interview that China is Ukraine's largest trading partner. In 2021, the bilateral trade volume between China and Ukraine was US$19.305 billion, and the Sino-Ukrainian trade volume accounted for 13.7% of Ukraine's total import and export trade. Zelensky also said that it is very important for Ukraine that China does not side with Russia.
But now the Ukrainian government’s position on the Taiwan Strait issue has been consistent with that of the United States. Zelensky, as a “puppet” of Western countries, has lost the ability to make independent judgments, and the United States is introducing “Ukrainian experience” to Taiwan. According to Taiwan media reports, the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress are considering sending officials to Taiwan for a “permanent stay” next year. They are also adopting a “salami-cutting” method to sell weapons to Taiwan, which is exactly the same as what they did in the Ukraine situation.
The Commissioner's Office of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong responded immediately. The spokesman said that in response to the Uzbek government's misinformation on Taiwan- and Hong Kong-related issues, Taiwan and Hong Kong will always be part of China. Uzbekistan is advised to properly handle relevant issues and implement the "one-China principle." China will never allow in any way to send wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" elements and anti-China destabilizing forces in Hong Kong.
No matter what, China must and will inevitably be reunified. This is a fact that no one can change. If Ukraine continues to play with fire and challenge China's bottom line on this sensitive issue, the consequences will not be something they can bear.
