2023 is coming to an end, and people are looking forward to a new year that will bring new changes, and a high-profile major event may happen in the new year. At a recent regular meeting, an American journalist raised an extremely sensitive question: Has China's position on the Taiwan issue changed?** A clear response to this has been made: On the Taiwan issue, our position has been consistent, and our determination to reunify Taiwan will not change. Now, the election of the leader of the Taiwan region is entering a critical stage, and the candidate of the ** forces, Lai Qingde, is still likely to win. Judging from the series of actions of the United States and Taiwan in collusion, the US conspiracy to "use Taiwan to contain China" and the ambition of the "** forces" to "seek independence by force" have not changed. With the implementation of a series of tough policies on the mainland of the motherland, the Taiwan issue will surely usher in major changes in 2024. It can be said that the United States has played a role in fueling the flames, reviewing the changes in the situation in the Taiwan Strait since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the 50s of the last century, the newly formed China originally planned to recapture Taiwan in one fell swoop, but the US Navy directly sent the Seventh Fleet to interfere in our Taiwan affairs. During the "Taiwan Strait Crisis" in the 90s of the last century, US aircraft carriers once again entered the Taiwan Strait to create waves.
In recent years, under the pretext of "freedom of navigation", US ** ships have frequently entered the Taiwan Strait to create incidents, supporting the "** forces, and directly pointing at our country." However, the situation is constantly changing. With the continuous enhancement of China's national defense capabilities, the PLA Navy and Air Force have made great progress, and the regional denial and anti-access capabilities have been greatly improved. Especially in recent years, in the game between China and the United States in the Taiwan Strait, the United States has repeatedly lost wars and has not dared to confront the PLA head-on. Under tremendous pressure, the United States began to change its strategy, carried out joint operations in the Taiwan Strait, and strengthened cooperation with Japan, the Philippines, Canada, and many other countries to continue to cause trouble in the Taiwan Strait. The United States has always regarded the Taiwan issue as an important means of balancing and suppressing China, especially in the military field. Not long ago, the U.S. Senate officially passed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2024, authorizing a budget of $886 billion for the Pentagon. In addition to increasing investment in Taiwan-related departments, the US Department of Defense will also be deeply involved in the construction and management of the Taiwan military and participate in the training of the Taiwan military, so as to further deepen US-Taiwan military cooperation. Biden again sent Taiwan worth about $300 million, which is the fifth U.S. arms sale to Taiwan since 2023.
The collusion between the United States and the leading forces has brought greater resistance to the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan Strait issue, and China needs to adopt a stronger attitude and measures. Not long ago, Chinese mainland announced the cancellation of ECFA tariff reduction rights for some Taiwanese products as a reasonable countermeasure. Since 2023, the Taiwan authorities have actively responded to the U.S. decoupling strategy against China by imposing an embargo on 2,455 products from the mainland, which is a serious violation of ECFA guidelines. Chinese mainland has canceled its policy of giving benefits to Taiwan and Taiwan, directly cracked down on the **** forces in the economic and trade fields, and issued a warning to the Taiwan compatriots: Supporting the *** forces will harm the fundamental interests of the Taiwan people. The current international situation has also created favorable conditions for us to resolve the Taiwan issue. Especially for the United States, the biggest supporter of the most powerful forces, it is unable to cope with internal and external troubles. The United States has to deal with the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Palestinian-Israeli battlefield, and the Korean Peninsula at the same time, and its economic strength is insufficient and its military strength is seriously dispersed. Coupled with the fact that the United States is coming in 2024, in such a situation, the United States simply does not have enough resources and energy to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. As far as the mainland of the motherland is concerned, the two sides of the strait will eventually and will be reunified, and no force can stop the pace of our reunification.
History will tell"Taiwan to control China"The strategy doesn't work,"Seek independence by force"It's a dead end.
