Phone call between Chinese and US foreign ministers: China's tough statement, the US P-8A crossing the Taiwan Strait has caused tensions.
On December 6, the Chinese foreign minister and the U.S. Secretary of State had a first-class exchange of views, and the call was a new round of dialogue between China and the United States after the bilateral summit in San Francisco. According to public reports, the Chinese side stressed its firm position on the Taiwan Strait issue in response to the request of the US side for a phone call. The Chinese side urges the United States not to support or condone any "leading forces" and stresses that the United States must not interfere in China's internal affairs. In addition, China and the United States exchanged views on other issues during the call.
It is worth noting, however, that while China is emphasizing its position on the Taiwan Strait issue, the United States has taken a "-for-tat" action. The U.S. Navy sent a P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft through the Taiwan Strait on December 6, according to an announcement issued by the PLA's Eastern Theater of Operations. This action has sparked concern and discussion between the two sides, and the Sino-US relationship is once again in a state of tension.
According to air traffic control data, the U.S. Navy's P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft took off from the Kadena base in the Ryukyus, directly entered the East China Sea, sailed into the Taiwan Strait, and then crossed the Taiwan Strait from north to south, and finally returned to the Kadena base in the Ryukyus through the Bass Strait. Observing the trajectory of the P-8A, it flew directly around the island of Taiwan. Judging by past experience, the pattern of actions taken by the US Navy seems to have been consistent, usually through the Ryukyu transfer of P-8A into the Taiwan Strait. The U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet hyped up the P-8A's passage through the Taiwan Strait, and it seems that this has become a regular practice in the U.S. Navy.
On December 6, 2023, the Chinese and US foreign ministers held a phone call, and China maintained its position on the Taiwan Strait issue. The United States has adopted a "-for-tat" attitudeThe P-8A crosses the Taiwan Strait.
The Chinese Foreign Minister and the U.S. Secretary of State had a phone call on December 6, and China responded positively to the U.S. invitation. According to published reports, during the phone call between the Chinese and US foreign ministers, the Chinese side emphasized its position on the Taiwan Strait issue, urged the United States not to support or condone any "** forces", and stressed that the United States must not interfere in China's internal affairs. In addition, China and the United States also exchanged views on other issues. The call follows a bilateral summit between China and the United States in San Francisco.
However, it is worth noting that while China emphasizes its position in the Taiwan Strait, the United States has adopted a "-for-tat" posture. The U.S. Navy sent a P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft through the Taiwan Strait on December 6, according to an announcement issued by the PLA's Eastern Theater of Operations.
According to air traffic control information, the P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol plane took off from the Kadena base in the Ryukyus, went straight into the East China Sea, then broke into the Taiwan Strait, crossed the Taiwan Strait from north to south into the airspace of the South China Sea, and finally returned to the Kadena base in the Ryukyus through the Bass Strait. Observing its trajectory, it can be seen that it flew directly around Taiwan Island. Based on past experience, the U.S. Navy usually uses the P-8A from the Ryukyus to enter the Taiwan Strait, and the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet hyped up the P-8A's passage through the Taiwan Strait, and it seems that this has become its consistent practice.
Judging from the US Navy's use of the P-8A to cross the Taiwan Strait, it seems that the United States has decided to use the "Taiwan card" to create a tense atmosphere. During the phone call between the Chinese and US foreign ministers, the United States did not show goodwill, but instead adopted a "-for-tat" stance, highlighting its hostility towards China. Confronting China seems to have become the "political correctness" of the United States, which is reflected in various provocative actions and the deployment of China's leading forces. The timing of the US Navy's choice of the P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft to cross the Taiwan Strait is quite delicate, highlighting its sinister intentions and showing that the United States will not give up lightly on the Taiwan Strait issue, and the P-8A's crossing operation is a manifestation of this intention.
Judging by the actions of the US Navy P-8A, the Global Beacon believes that this is not a "temporary decision" of the US Navy, but the result of long-term planning. Obviously, it is impossible for the US military not to know about the upcoming phone call between the Chinese and US foreign ministers, however, the US Navy still insists on using the P-8A to cross the Taiwan Strait, which gives the Taiwan authorities more expectations. At present, Taiwan is sprinting to 2024 "** In the face of the game of forces of all parties on Taiwan, the United States has actually tried to influence Taiwan"**Recently, authoritative experts in the United States jointly called on Taiwan *** Party leader Lai Qingde to freeze the so-called "** program", which is actually a "delaying tactic" of the United States. It can be seen from the fact that the US Navy continues to use the P-8A to cross the Taiwan Strait, and the United States has not given up its strategy of using the "Taiwan card."
The United States has always paid lip service to the "one-China policy," but it has gradually weakened this policy in practice, especially in the face of continuous armed assistance to Taiwan. The US Navy's dispatch of the P-8A through the Taiwan Strait once again reveals the nature of the inconsistency between its words and deeds, so there should be no illusions about the US statement. It is already a clear fact that the United States has been arming the island. Now, with the operation of the US Navy to carry out the P-8A crossing of the Taiwan Strait, the hypocrisy of the United States has once again been exposed. In response to the US Navy's provocation, the PLA Eastern Theater has responded by effectively guarding against the possibility of the US Navy's P-8A crossing the red line by tracking and monitoring the fighters throughout the process.
