Behind the tension in the Taiwan Strait, the United States has been playing tricks behind the scenes. This can't help but remind people of the classic line: "It's all Americans' fault!"
Let's start by gossiping about the current situation. In 2023, Lai Qingde, the "golden grandson of Taiwan independence", has not yet taken office, and he has already begun to talk about strengthening cooperation with Japan. This guy also swore that "if there is something wrong with Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan, and if something happens with Japan, there is something wrong with Taiwan." It seems that in his eyes, Japan has become Taiwan's "backstage boss".
It's a pity that the Japanese people don't think so. It is said that more than 70 percent of the Japanese people oppose Japan's involvement in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait. People just want to watch the drama quietly, how can they be in the mood to face the mainland hard.
However, the "Taiwan independence" elements still regard Japan as their "life-saving straw." As soon as Lai Qingde's remarks came out, even netizens on the island of Taiwan couldn't stand it. Some netizens bluntly said that if there is a real fight, Japan will at most shout cheers on the side.
However, Lai Qingde dares to be so arrogant, and he is absolutely inseparable from the support of external forces such as the United States and Japan. The United States has also continued to provoke our bottom line on the Taiwan issue. Some time ago, an official of the US State Department named Lan Moke made a big fuss at a think tank event, saying that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 "does not endorse and does not amount to a consensus on one China," and that this resolution does not represent the UN's position on Taiwan's final political status.
Isn't this a blatant attempt to distort facts and falsify history? The mainland expressed solemn representations in this regard. UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 clearly states that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is only a province of China. Is this Blue Ink Artist illiterate and can't even read resolutions?
In addition to rhetorical provocations, the United States is also bluffing militarily. In 2023, Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, bragged that 60% of the U.S. military is in the highest state of combat readiness and can be deployed around the world within 30 days at any time. Isn't that just a warning to us?
What's more, in July 2023, in an interview with Paparo, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, he openly described our rocket force as the biggest threat to the U.S. military in the Indo-Pacific region. What's going on? It is not because the United States is always wandering around our doorstep and wants to support "Taiwan independence" that it is afraid of our advanced weapons!
Immediately after that, the United States conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, which was called "protecting Taiwan." In August, the U.S. military also held a "large-scale exercise 2023", claiming to ensure that a large-scale conflict is won in the Asia-Pacific region. Where is this exercise, it is clearly a drill to start a war with us!
In the face of the United States' step-by-step pressing, should we fight or endure? Frankly speaking, the strength of the US military is indeed very strong, and the Pacific Fleet alone has 350 combat aircraft, which is more than our strongest North Sea Fleet. Moreover, the US military is spread all over the world, claiming to be "global presence and global delivery", and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.
However, no matter how powerful the tiger is, it can't just go to other people's doorsteps to spread wild. In the coastal waters of the mainland, the People's Liberation Army can still make it impossible for the US military to eat and walk around. Once the Dongfeng missile and the Changjian cruise missile are fired in a salvo, the US military bases in the western Pacific should not think of retreating in their entirety. Even the hard-mouthed General Paparo had to admit that their aircraft carrier was 1,500 nautical miles away from the mainland, and they had to worry about being killed by our "aircraft carrier killers".
Therefore, in the face of provocations and threats from the United States, we do not have to swallow our anger. We've had enough of bullying for a hundred years. If the Yankees have to play with fire, then don't blame us for a tooth for a tooth or an eye for an eye. Back then, the Volunteer Army defeated the "invincible" U.S. Army with "millet plus rifles", not to mention that we are no longer what we used to be.
Therefore, it is actually the United States that should be endured. I advise those who do not measure themselves, those who play with fire will burn themselves, lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, and in the end it is you who will suffer.
