The situation in the Taiwan Strait has changed, 9 countries are eyeing China, the US Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act to authorize the United States to train the Taiwan military, and the US military is only one step away from "helping Taiwan to train troops", just waiting for Biden to sign and take effect. So what are the nine countries that are trying to disrupt the Taiwan Strait?What does the US "National Defense Authorization Act" say?
As the voting day for the 2024 Taiwan regional leadership election is approaching, external forces led by the United States frequently point fingers and make irresponsible remarks on Taiwan-related issues, in a vain attempt to support the "best forces" on the island. A few days ago, the Armed Services Committee of the US Senate and House of Representatives reached an agreement after many days of consultations and announced the content of the negotiated version of the "National Defense Authorization Act" for fiscal year 2024, in which the Taiwan-related part mentioned that the US Secretary of Defense is required to formulate a comprehensive training, consultation, and institutional capacity building plan for the Taiwan military with the consent of the Secretary of State and after consultation with the relevant Taiwan authorities, so as to enhance the combat capability of the Taiwan region. In addition, the "bill" also requires the US Secretary of Defense, with the consent of the Secretary of State, to seek appropriate contacts with Taiwan and expand military cybersecurity cooperation between the United States and the Taiwan region.
In short, the United States intends to "help Taiwan train its troops", and it is only one last step away, just waiting for the United States ** Biden to sign it into effect. Some analysts believe that if this case is signed by Biden, the United States will enter the fast lane of cultivating war fighters in the Taiwan Strait. It is not difficult to see that this move by the US side is obviously sending a serious wrong signal to the "leading forces" on the island. Ironically, during the previous meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state in San Francisco, Biden swore in front of the Chinese side and reaffirmed the "four noes and one no" commitment, including "no support".
It is worth noting that in addition to the United States, the Group of Seven (G7) led by the United States, as well as the Philippines and Australia, which are "allies" of the United States, are also clamoring on Taiwan-related issues. Not long ago, the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) countries held a meeting and issued a statement, in which when talking about Taiwan-related issues, the statement once again reaffirmed the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and the indispensable for the security and prosperity of the international community. These include the "one-China policy," which calls for a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues while strongly opposing "any one-sided attempt to change the status quo by force or coercion." This statement by the G7 simply means that "Chinese mainland is not allowed to use force in the Taiwan Strait."
It is not difficult to see that under the leadership of the United States, nine countries, including the United States itself, are eyeing China on Taiwan-related issues. However, for the above-mentioned movements of the United States and its allies, the island** does not buy it. A Taiwan media recently published an article pointing out that if the US "National Defense Authorization Act" is passed and takes effect, the Taiwan region, which should have a better choice, will be further pushed to the dangerous forefront of the Sino-US game, and if the United States "pays lip service to the truth" or changes its policy, the Taiwan region may face the dilemma of being beaten with chickens and eggs.
At the same time, the article also stresses that war runs counter to modern society, that US support may not be reliable, and that the long-term peace and stability of a society cannot simply rely on the guarantees and commitments of countries and regions outside the region. If today's Taiwan region is willing to rush to the dangerous front line of the Sino-US game, and even does not hesitate to sting the mainland repeatedly, once the situation reverses in the future, how high it is praised today will be how badly it will be thrown in the future.
Of course, the Chinese side is well aware of the sinister intentions of the United States. At the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council on 13 July, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, could not help but ask: Does the United States want to turn Taiwan into a battlefield full of wars?Once a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait due to the intervention of external forces, Taiwan will become a battlefield, and the people of Taiwan will only be coerced into "cannon fodder". In addition, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, also clearly emphasized two points: First, the above-mentioned move by the United States seriously threatens the security of the Asia-Pacific region and China, and China firmly opposes it and will resolutely counter it. Second, it warns the United States that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and brooks no foreign interference, and that no one or any force can stop resolving the Taiwan issue.
