Urgent! U.S. congressmen collectively visited Taiwan, our army attacked the Taiwan Strait, and the attitude of the Philippines reversed?
Recently, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has heated up frequentlyIn particular, the collusion between the United States and Taiwan and the destabilizing behavior of other third-party forcesis pushing the region into an extremely dangerous situation. A striking example of this was on January 24 of this yearA group of U.S. congressmen made a surprise visit to TaiwanHe became one of the first U.S. personalities to visit Taiwan after the election. The delegation was large in size and spanned multiple political parties, and they clearly expressed the United States' support for strengthening US-Taiwan relations and arms sales to Taiwan.
In the first two months of this year, three groups of more than 30 US congressmen have visited Taiwan, a record number of visits in scale and frequency. These frequent visits are incompatible with the "one-China" policy that the United States has consistently proclaimed, and have raised suspicions that the United States may acquiesce to the new policy on the Taiwan Strait issue.
If the United States is indeed changing its policy towards Taiwan, then as the main injured partyWhy can Chinese mainland still maintain a high degree of calm and restraint? Recently, there has been a marked increase in the activities of PLA warplanes and warships around the Taiwan Strait, and the frequency and scale have increased significantly. According to the analysis of experts, this is a solemn warning from the mainland against the collusion between the United States and Taiwan, and it sends a clear signal of deterrence to the island of Taiwan.
After years of rapid development, the mainland's military strength is fully capable of realizing the military occupation of the island of Taiwan in a very short period of time. At present, the PLA units stationed in the Taiwan Strait have completed the actual combat drills and arrangements for various island-seizing and landing operations. In extreme cases,If the last resort becomes a necessary option, they are ready to launch an attack on Taiwan at the first opportunity.
Against this tense international backdrop, the frequent intervention of some small neighboring countries in the situation in the Taiwan Strait has raised questions about their true intentions. For example, Marcos Marcos of the Philippines has recently issued several statements with very different positions on the Taiwan Strait issue, and this attitude has repeatedly aroused the attention and confusion of the outside world. Marcos later stressed that the Philippines adheres to the "one-China" principle, but these remarks and actions seem to reveal a deeper purpose. The Philippines may try to exert pressure on China through its statements on the Taiwan Strait issue in order to obtain concessions in the South China Sea and in the economic and trade fields.
The capricious and interfering behavior of these small countries is particularly rash and irresponsible in the current situation in the Taiwan Strait. China's unwavering determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is not something that any small country can easily challenge or assess. Without the strategic game and the transfer of interests between the major powers, would these countries still maintain such a high interest in the long-standing dispute between the island of Taiwan and the mainland?
The frequent visits of US congressmen, as well as possible changes in Washington's policy toward Taiwan, raise an important question: is the United States actually changing its policy toward Taiwan? If so, what is the motivation behind this change? How might these actions of the United States affect stability and regional security in the Taiwan Strait?
In the face of such external pressure and provocation, the calm and restrained attitude shown by Chinese mainland deserves attention. This calmness reflects China's maturity in handling international affairs and its confidence in its military and political strategy. The PLA's activities around the Taiwan Strait have strengthened this confidence and demonstrated China's ability to take decisive action to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity if necessary.
The role and motivation of small countries such as the Philippines in the Taiwan Strait issue are equally worthy. The behavior of these countries may be influenced by the great power game and regional interests, and their performance in the situation in the Taiwan Strait may have deeper strategic considerations. Such intervention may bring more instability to the region and affect peace and security across the Taiwan Strait and in the region.
