Recently, PLA military aircraft patrolling and searching Taiwan's airspace have become the norm. This is also a necessary action taken by China (mainland) to maintain territorial integrity and support sovereign independence in response to the intensified cross-strait tensions. If the mainland really uses force against Taiwan, will the US military dare to rescue it? Dai Wanqin, an honorary professor of the Department of Diplomacy and International Relations at Tamkang University in Taiwan, said in an interview with the China Review News Agency that he shattered Tsai Ing-wen’s dream, and "Taiwan independence" felt cold. Dai Wanqin believes that the United States will not send troops to Taiwan, but at least there will be a gesture of solidarity. With the current military strength of the mainland, if it really uses force against Taiwan, Taiwan will not be able to parry.
According to a report on Taiwan Strait.com on November 21, Dai Wanqin believes that Biden will continue to sell arms to Taiwan after he takes office. If Biden appoints Flornoi as the Secretary of Defense of the United States, it will increase deterrence capabilities to deter mainland China from using force against Taiwan. Although Biden will not send troops to Taiwan, at least there will be actions such as solidarity. Dai Wanqin expressed his views on the nature of cross-strait relations. With the mainland’s current military power, Taiwan would not be able to parry Taiwan if it really uses force against Taiwan. Therefore, the mainland is not thinking about military strategy issues, but political issues, that is, "international perception and atmosphere." ".
According to reports, mainland fighters have frequently appeared in Taiwan's southwest airspace recently. Regarding the true purpose of the PLA's military aircraft to bypass Taiwan in a normal manner, Taiwan Air Force retired Lieutenant General Fu Weigu analyzed that it was "embedded in strategic areas." He also said that until the US President takes office on January 20 next year, the patrol of the Continental Army aircraft will continue. In an interview with the Hong Kong media China Review News Agency, Fu Weigu believed that the southwest airspace of Taiwan is the only way for the United States and Japan to enter the South Pacific. The mainland's control at this point will affect their entry into the region. At the same time, the mainland's intensified patrols in this area also sent a signal to the United States and Japan: If there is action, the mainland can control you. Fu Weigu believes that the confrontation between the United States and China may improve after Biden takes power, the policy will not change much, and the confrontational stance of the United States and China will remain unchanged.
On the other hand, after the 59th presidential election of the United States, the "failure" of the current President Trump's re-election aroused the concerns of the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party about the future US-Taiwan relations. And Biden's series of policies towards Taiwan have a direct impact on the trilateral relations between the mainland, Taiwan and the United States. As a "pawn" for the United States to contain China's development, Taiwan's intensified interest exchanges with the United States will also increase the tension between China and the United States.
