Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Sino-US relations have gone from a slight relaxation to a state full of gunpowder. The United States directly unveiled its plan to deploy missile systems in the Asia-Pacific region to point its sword at China, a move that quickly pushed the situation in the Taiwan Strait to the brink of danger. In addition to this, the response of our country is extremely rare, because we mentioned the serious word "war" for the first time.
Recently, the United States revealed its 2024 China strategy, and one of the most striking points is that they plan to deploy land-based intermediate-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region next year. These missiles have a wide range of ranges, from short-range up to 500 km to long-range up to 5500 km.
The coverage of these missiles can be said to include all important areas around Chinese mainland, such as the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. The United States has already made no secret of targeting missiles at China. As for the Taiwan Strait issue, at that time, the international community generally sent a signal of easing Sino-US relations, but the fact is that Biden solemnly promised us to maintain peace and not seek conflict.
On the other hand, it is extremely brewing and speeding up its plans to sell arms to Taiwan, and in addition, from the point of view of the types of armaments, it seems that the US strategy toward Taiwan has undergone considerable changes. The United States has provided Taiwan with a variety of **, which has clearly shown the intentions of the United States.
The United States seems to want to confine the potential conflict to Taiwan, with its aircraft carriers providing support in the far sea, and the situation in Taiwan has evolved into a "confrontation between the Chinese and the Chinese." Obviously, the United States intends to use the lives of Taiwan's military and civilians to prevent landing operations as a means of hindering the process of China's reunification. Under the constant influence of the United States, the Taiwan authorities seem to firmly believe that the United States will fight for Taiwan.
Moreover, with the evolution of the US strategy toward China, the Taiwan authorities' support for independence seems to have gradually strengthened and become more and more rampant. Recently, the Taiwan authorities have once again expressed their stance, emphasizing the need for Taiwan to maintain a peace of far-reaching significance, rather than simply imitating Hong Kong's peace situation. She avoided talking about the issue of reunification, and even linked the situation in Hong Kong with Taiwan.
In the face of the increasingly close collusion between the United States and Taiwan, as well as the arrogant posture of the Taiwan authorities, China quickly responded and expressed a firm attitude. Spokesman Wang Wenbin once again stressed that the Taiwan Strait issue is not a foreign affair in nature, but an important issue involving China's internal affairs, so it is necessary to make this distinction clear and not confuse its nature and concept.
In addition, Wang Wenbin also emphasized a sentence of profound significance: That is, the independence forces and peace in the Taiwan Strait are incompatible, and the independent forces are destined to be unpopular, and the result is bound to be an unimaginable war. You must know that as far as the Taiwan Strait issue is concerned, the mainland has always adopted a cautious attitude and has never taken the initiative to raise the word "war," but has put peace in the first place.
This time, however, the situation was different, and for the first time, the official statement directly linked the independence forces to the war, and its meaning was clear. However, major changes have taken place in the current situation, the US missiles have been aimed at China, and the Taiwan authorities and others are still obsessed with their stubbornness and arrogance, and have even attempted to put the people on the island in the midst of war.
In view of this, it is natural that the mainland's position will also be different. To put it bluntly, the way to reunify by force may be more direct and simple than peaceful reunification, and this position has been made clear in recent responses.
