At the time of Taiwan's sprint to 2024, the United States, Japan and South Korea held the first so-called "Indo-Pacific Dialogue", blatantly not allowing China to change the status quo, and the "Indo-Pacific Dialogue" between the United States, Japan and South Korea adopted the so-called "Joint Statement", which made a rough reference to China's internal affairs. Through the "Joint Statement", the United States, Japan, and South Korea reaffirmed that "peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are indispensable for the security and prosperity of the international community." In less than 5 days after the countdown to Taiwan Island 2024, he openly released cruel words, which has highlighted the strategic intention of the United States, Japan and South Korea, that is, the People's Liberation Army is not allowed to unify Taiwan by force, and at the same time, the United States, Japan and South Korea have released the wrong information to the Taiwan authorities, so that the authorities have more illusions.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly threatened as early as February 24, 2023, declaring that Taiwan is not China's internal affair, and Blinken tried to warn China through the strong support of the United States and U.S. allies for Ukraine that if the People's Liberation Army launches a military operation to reunify Taiwan by force, the United States will also launch all-round sanctions against China in the same way as increasing sanctions against Russia. At the beginning of 2022, the United States was very confident that it would completely drag Russia down through the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and for this reason dared to threaten China and openly launch provocations on the Taiwan Strait issue, in fact, the United States overestimated its own capabilities and strength.
Now the United States, Japan and South Korea have passed the so-called "joint statement" to draw a red line for the PLA, especially in the critical period of Taiwan's sprint to 2024, highlighting the strong support of the United States, Japan and South Korea for the Taiwan authorities, for the United States, if it can continue to maintain its control over Taiwan, the United States will make better use of the "Taiwan card" to prevent the rise of China. In fact, the "ambiguous strategy" is not ambiguous, and the United States just does not allow the PLA to reunify Taiwan by force, and for this reason it has constantly hollowed out the "one-China policy."
Under the leadership of the United States, Japan has also shown its sharp fangs, and Taro Aso, vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, is a die-hard anti-China politician in Japan, and has long been engaged in political activities in support of Taiwan. Recently, Taro Aso has made a lot of nonsense on the Taiwan Strait issue, openly declaring that something happening on Taiwan is "bound to happen" and that it is a crisis event that has a bearing on Japan's survival. Aso's intention has been quite clear, that is, he wants Japan to intervene in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait, so as to prevent the PLA from taking military action to unify Taiwan Island. Aso's statement echoes the position of the United States, Japan, and South Korea in the "Joint Statement" on the Taiwan Strait issue, and highlights Aso's hostility to China.
Japan and the United States will jointly send troops to intervene in the Taiwan Strait conflict in order to prevent the PLA from taking military action to unify the island. Japan, like the United States, does not want to see cross-strait reunification, and has openly issued a threat, and it also wants to link China's internal affairs with Japan's security. In recent years, Japan has continued to enhance its military strength, the most prominent of which is to increase the size of its defense budget, and at the same time abandon its original defense policy of "focusing on defense." Now Japan is already boasting of the so-called "foreign strike" active defense policy, so it cannot harbor illusions about Japan.
