Amid tensions in the Taiwan Strait, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov issued a serious warning to China, reminding China that it must be vigilant against the possibility of the United States using force in the Taiwan Strait region.
According to Lavrov, the United States has been stepping up its military preparations for the Taiwan Strait issue and taking a tougher stance in its political strategy, and this series of actions all point to a clear pattern: Washington and the Pentagon still regard the military option as the main way to deal with the Taiwan issue, even in the face of enormous domestic and foreign policy pressures.
This early warning from Russia sends a message that cannot be ignored that the United States has taken aggressive actions amid tensions in the Taiwan Strait, as indicated by its military deployment and increased budget. In addition, Japan, under the strategic consideration of the East Asian region, may also intervene in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait for the sake of national interests. Japan's recent struggles with multiple domestic and foreign challenges, and its autonomy in its foreign and defense strategy suggests that it may not be able to withstand more pressure.
This analysis is further confirmed by the fact that as Taiwan's leader ** in 2024 is in full swing, it seems that international speculation about the situation in the Taiwan Strait is increasing day by day. Not only Russia has taken note of this, but the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Defense, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, has also declared that the PLA is ready to respond to a possible conflict.
It is worth mentioning that even if the United States tries to resolve the dispute between China and the United States through other means, whether it is a technological war, the United States has not been able to force China to make concessions. On the contrary, the United States itself is in an increasingly difficult economic situation. In the face of external conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the use of force seems to have become Biden's last option.
Taken together, Lavrov's warnings and Japan's possible engagement are a reminder that China should be mindful of possible aggressive actions by the United States and Japan in the Taiwan Strait.
In addition, the squadron should be vigilant at all times, because in 2024-2025, a decisive war for the fate of China may be brewing.
