U.S.-China relationsSince 2016, the two sides have entered a tense phase, especially on Taiwan-related issues, and the positions of the two sides are even more obviously opposed. Wang YiIn a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the foreign minister once again reiterated China's firm position on Taiwan-related issues, demarcated a "minefield", and warned the U.S. not to interfere in China's internal affairs and not to support "** forces." The Chinese side demands that the US side put into practice the positive statements it promised at the San Francisco talks in order to promote itU.S.-China relationsstability and sustainable development.
In the past few years, the United States has been trying to prevent or even slow down China's development by exerting "maximum pressure" on China in the economic, scientific, technological, and diplomatic fields. However, the American side did not achieve the desired results. On the contrary, the mainstream view in the United States recognizes that ifU.S.-China relationsThe costs of full decoupling will far outweigh the benefits. MilitaryConflict is even more inconsistentChina and the United Statesany interests of the two countries, as well as the whole world. The meeting in Bali in November this year was therefore an opportunity to send a signal of stability.
However, the United States has been constantly hyping up the "balloon incident", which has led toU.S.-China relationsFalling into the trough again.

Although there have been some positive efforts, butChina and the United StatesDifferences between the two sides on Taiwan-related issues still exist.
Due to the pairTaiwanThe U.S. side has been trying to strengthen the differences in positions held on the issueTaiwanofMilitarycollusion to further promote arms sales to TaiwanMilitaryCooperate. According to reports, the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the US Congress recently passed the "National Defense Authorization Act" for fiscal year 2024 and involved in itTaiwanrequirementsPentagonPositive withTaiwanThe authorities contacted and sent troops inTaiwanand formulate a comprehensive training and institutional construction plan.

Judging from the Taiwan-related provisions of these bills, it is clear that the United States is trying to shape the rightTaiwanThe war posture is strengthened withTaiwanofMilitaryCooperation, even inMilitaryTraining and cybersecurity. These measures have not only provided support and encouragement to the leading forces, but also provided support and boost for the development of the Taiwan military. Through these moves, the United States is trying to exert greater influence on the Taiwan Strait issue.
In this case, it is worth noting that although the United States is inTaiwanThere was a lot of desire on the issue, but there was noneTaiwanWith the active cooperation of the authorities, it is very difficult for the United States to implement the US strategy of "using Taiwan to contain China." Since 2016Tsai Ing-wenSince coming to power, the authorities have not only refused to recognize the "consensus of '92," but have also continued to promote the process of "rejecting reunification and seeking independence," accelerated armament buildup, and increased military spending. This has led to a sharp deterioration of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and peaceful development is facing huge risks. However, this situation is not easy to achieve and does not require efforts to maintain, and it still requires the joint efforts of all parties, especially the needTaiwanProactive cooperation of the authorities.
Although the United States is relatively strong in terms of overall strength, it is very important in dealing with Taiwan-related issues andInternationalOn hot issues, it is difficult to act alone. The United States wants other countries to be thereChina and the United Statesbut most countries are not willing to take sidesChina and the United StatesMake an either/or choice. Even America's European allies are not fully aligned with the United States on all issues. The United States tried to be inInternationalAttempts to isolate China have never succeeded.
The Chinese side has already made it clear thatChina and the United StatesIt is an objective fact that the two countries have different histories, cultures, social systems, and development paths. However, as long as the two sides adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, it is entirely possible to transcend differences and find the right way for the two major countries to get along. However, the US side has shown an attitude of toasting and not eating and punishing alcohol. The Chinese side has just drawn a "minefield" and demanded that the United States stop interfering in China's internal affairs, but the United States hopes to send troops to the countryTaiwanIt is in line with China's sovereign interests and interests to continue to put pressure on China, which is alsoInternationalGeneral recognition in society.

In general, the provocative behavior of the United States on Taiwan-related issues is wrong and dangerous. It will not only undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region, but will also giveU.S.-China relationsBrings greater risk and uncertainty. The United States should realize that peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation with China is the right choice in its own interests and in the global interest.
