In less than 24 hours, the United States responded to the decision of the Ministry of Commerce of China to determine that Taiwan Island constitutes a barrier. According to reports, the US Defense and Security Cooperation Agency, with the approval of the United States, has decided to sell another batch of arms to TaiwanMilitaryThe equipment, with a total value of $300 million, including the C4 command system, is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the Taiwan military's joint operations command and management system, which will help to grasp the image of joint operations and effectively carry out defense tasks. This is the fifth U.S. arms sale to Taiwan this year, and the twelfth since Biden took office. It can be seen that the United States has restarted its arms sales program to Taiwan and sent ** to Taiwan to provide engineering and technical assistance, with the intention of putting pressure on China and interferingThe situation in the Taiwan Strait。It is worth mentioning that the United Kingdom has also joined the operation, saying that it will send in 2025Aircraft carrier fleetTravel to the Indo-Pacific, including possible traversalTaiwan Strait, further *** country.
In addition to arms sales to Taiwan,U.S. Ambassador to ChinaBurns also made a statement on Taiwan ** and shouted to the mainland. Burns said at the discussion that Washington has not and will not intervene in Taiwan's election next year, hoping that the election will not be intimidated, coerced or interfered with, and called on all parties to act responsibly. He also said that China and the United States are institutional competitors, and the main tone in the coming decades will be strategic competition, but the two sides need to maintain exchanges and contacts to avoid conflict or even war. However, his remarks were questioned. Because the three candidates from Taiwan went to the United States for interviews one after another, this in itself is an interference in Taiwan and gives the wrong signal. Burns's remarks are obviously inconsistent with the actual situation, and the United States has not given up its strategic goal of using Taiwan to contain China, but is indirectly aiding in the election and incitementThe situation in the Taiwan Strait
The current move of the United States to sell arms to Taiwan has aroused widespread concern. It is not only a response to the decision of China's Ministry of Commerce, but also an indication of the attitude of the United States towards the Taiwan Strait issue. The United States has been trying to maintain its hegemonic position in the Asia-Pacific region, and Taiwan has become a bargaining chip for it. As far as the United States is concerned, if it can maintain the frequency and scale of arms sales to Taiwan, it can not only continue to interfereThe situation in the Taiwan Straitand to demonstrate its influence in the region to other countries. However, this behavior of the United States will undoubtedly intensifyIt is difficult to achieve peace and stability in the region.
U.S. Ambassador to ChinaBurns' statement also sparked discussion. In his rhetoric, he made a very clear judgment on the U.S.-China relationship, advocating maintaining engagement while avoiding conflict. However, when it comes to Taiwan ** and the Taiwan Strait issue, Burns's rhetoric seems a little vague. He claimed that the United States would not interfere in Taiwan**, but in fact, the United States has already had a clear influence on ** by sending ** to contact candidates on Taiwan. This kindDouble standardsThe statement was undoubtedly provided to the authoritiesHeart tonicsto make it more firm." As far as the mainland is concerned, this is a challenge to its territorial integrity and a threat to peaceful reunification.
In addition to the actions of the United States, Britain also joined the pairThe situation in the Taiwan Straitof provocations. The UK has announced that it will send in 2025Aircraft carrier fleetTravel to the Indo-Pacific, which may include crossingTaiwan Strait。This news is undoubtedly a challenge for our country, because it means that Britain is taking sides on the Taiwan Strait issue and forming a relationship with the United StatesHeli。However, the UK's strength is relatively limited, and its defense budget has been cutSurface shipsThere are fewer of them. Therefore, if Britain wants to assert its power in the Asia-Pacific region, it needs to carefully consider its own strength and the consequences of provocations against China.
The situation in the Taiwan StraitRecently, it has once again been the focus of contention between China and the United States. U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, sending ** to Taiwan to provide technical assistance, as well as the United Kingdom'sAircraft carrier fleetPlans, all intended to put pressure on our country, to interfereThe situation in the Taiwan Strait。These actions are not conducive to the development of peace and stability and are more likely to trigger conflicts. U.S. Ambassador to ChinaBurns' statement was the sameDouble standards, for the interference of Taiwan ** cannot be denied. Against this backdrop, China needs to remain calm and resolutely safeguard its core interests, while seeking cooperation with other countries and striving to promote a peaceful solution to the Taiwan Strait issue. Only through dialogue and consultation can long-term stability and peace in the region be achieved.
