What Biden wanted, China finally gave. Recently, a U.S. interagency delegation led by Deputy Assistant U.S. Assistant and Deputy Advisor to the Department of Homeland Security Dascal visited China, with the main goal of launching the first meeting of the U.S.-China Anti-Drug Cooperation Working Group. During the meeting, the Chinese side announced the official launch of the China-US Anti-Narcotics Cooperation Working Group, and expressed the hope that the two sides will deepen law enforcement and security cooperation based on the important consensus reached at the summit and mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit as the basic principles. In recent years, the fentanyl epidemic in the United States has been a serious problem, and according to statistics, from March 2022 to March 2023, the number of people killed by drug overdose in the United States is as high as 1090,000 people, a large proportion of whom came from fentanyl abuse. Although the main reason for the fentanyl epidemic is Biden's poor management, the US side has been trying to put the blame on China and put pressure on the Chinese side. In June this year, U.S. Ambassador to China Burns claimed that China had not stopped producing fentanyl, resulting in its continuous flow into the United States, and Biden would continue to put pressure on China.
At that time, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin sternly refuted it and called it "ungrateful". In November last year, the heads of state of China and the United States held a historic meeting in San Francisco, and China pledged to strengthen China-US anti-drug cooperation. The launch of the China-US Anti-Drug Cooperation Working Group can be seen as China's response to Biden**, and also reflects China's willingness to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The double standard of the United States: in the name of "supporting Taiwan", it is actually harmful to Taiwan, and Biden's plan for additional military aid against Taiwan may be forced to cancel. This news has once again raised questions about the true position of the United States on the Taiwan Strait issue. Historically, the United States has always only cared about its own interests, and its so-called "support for Taiwan" is actually harming and destroying Taiwan. If the authorities continue to be obsessed, they will only become the "outcasts" of the United States in the end. Recently, the first meeting of the Sino-US Anti-Narcotics Cooperation Working Group was officially held, which marked the important progress made in the cooperation between China and the United States in the field of anti-narcotics.
At the same time, however, the US Senate unveiled a border security bill, part of which will be used to counter China. This move once again exposed the double standards of the United States. The United States has always pointed fingers at other countries in the name of human rights and democracy, but turned a blind eye to its own debt problem. According to the Congressional Budget Office, by the end of 2020, the domestic public debt in the United States had reached 279 trillion US dollars, as a proportion of GDP as high as 130%. According to the International Monetary Organization, China's public debt is only 48% of GDP. However, the United States has criticized China's economic situation in an attempt to contain China's rise through various means. This is all the more true of the US position on the Taiwan Strait issue. Although the United States claims to support Taiwan, it has never really helped Taiwan achieve real development. Instead, the United States sees Taiwan as its own bargaining chip and uses it to contain China.
The US arms sales to Taiwan are a clear proof that the United States, in the name of so-called "helping Taiwan," has continued to offer Taiwan nothing but has never considered Taiwan's actual needs and long-term interests. In addition, the United States is also trying to prop up Taiwan through a series of political means. For example, the U.S. Congress passed the so-called "Taiwan Protection Act," which requires the U.S. to increase military aid to Taiwan and support Taiwan's participation in international organizations. However, these moves not only violate the one-China principle, but also interfere in China's internal affairs. Now, Biden's planned additional military aid to Taiwan may be forced to be canceled, which once again exposes the double standards of the United States. The double standards of the United States are manifested not only in its attitude towards Taiwan, but also in its attitude towards other countries. The United States has always adopted a hegemonic approach in international affairs, putting its own interests first and pointing fingers at other countries.
For example, the United States launched a war against Iraq, which plunged Iraq into endless chaos and terrorism; The U.S. military intervention in Libya has led to a prolonged period of instability and **; The U.S. military intervention in Syria led to a civil war in Syria that continues to this day. All these examples fully illustrate the double standards and hegemonic behavior of the United States. In international affairs, the United States often interferes in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of human rights and democracy. However, the United States itself has not solved its own problems. For example, in the United States, the problem of racial discrimination has persisted, economic and social inequality is serious, and the problem of democracy is becoming increasingly prominent. The United States should first solve its own problems, not blame other countries, let alone use other countries to achieve its own goals. In short, the double standards of the United States are particularly evident on the Taiwan Strait issue. In the name of so-called "supporting Taiwan," the United States is actually harming and destroying Taiwan.
If the authorities continue to be obsessed with their stubbornness and only care about catering to the needs of the United States, they will only become the "outcasts" of the United States in the end. The Taiwan issue involves China's core interests, and any attempt to separate China is futile. It is believed that with the continuous development of the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan Strait issue will eventually be resolved peacefully, and the Taiwan compatriots will also be able to enjoy lasting and stable development opportunities.
