Still using the Taiwan issue as a political tool?
America's tactics are afraid to fail！
The American society is experiencing the dilemma of fire and ice，on the one hand, despite the federal Reserve's frantic interest rate hike, the newly released CPI rose by 9.1% year-on-year in June, the highest in 40 years, and ordinary Americans' life has become difficult to sustain.On the other hand, both the House and the Senate have passed the new "national Defense Authorization Act", especially in the Senate's proposed bill, the military spending is increased to $858 billion.The "golden age" piled up by some political elites with huge military spending seems to be declaring to the whole world that America is still powerful!But how many interests are conveyed behind this, and how many politicians are taking advantage of the private dealings with the military industrial enterprises, in the acceleration of the decline of the American empire, finally hard to obtain a large amount of interest?When the bottom of the American people are already suffering, do these political groups look at them?
Under the new dollar cycle trend, the United States instigated the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, aggravating regional conflicts and forcing the outflow of dollars from European and Japanese economies. However, these risk-averse funds are no longer enough to fill the hole in the United States.Only by sucking the blood of China can this huge economy survive.Unfortunately, according to the data, even though the yen depreciated by 25% and the euro depreciated from 1.23 to 1.002, the RMB depreciated by 4.3% compared to the DOLLAR, far less than expected.Even though China's domestic economy suffered a setback in the first half of the year due to the epidemic, the official GDP growth rate was 2.5% year-on-year.All of these numbers suggest that if the United States does not act to disrupt China's development, the United States will surely "fall" in the long run.
Sure enough, Taiwan is heavily mentioned in both the House and Senate versions of the new National Defense Authorization Act,in the as-yet-unreleased draft, the US says it will help Taiwan defend itself, plan training and exercises and even encourage Taiwan to participate in rim of the Pacific exercise in 2024.As the anti-China issue has become a rare political consensus between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, the Taiwan issue is the most direct anti-China means.Predictably, there will be only a little more help for Taiwan in the final bill, but is that enough cause for complacency among Taiwanese politicians?How credible are the lip service and unrealistic promises of the US?
At the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Bali last week, During a five-hour meeting between China's foreign minister and the US secretary of state, Blinken said he did not seek a "new cold war" or support Taiwan independence, while Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi raised concerns that the US frequently played the "Taiwan card".In fact, since biden government came to power, has been foreign statements do not seek the views that will change the status quo across the Taiwan strait, and then in the majority of congressional Democrats, has frequently crossed China's preset line, then constantly supported in-depth exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, and even encouraged Lithuania and other countries to take the lead in assisting Taiwan to break through the diplomatic status quo.
Behind the seemingly contradictory policies is the result of the "fuzzy strategy" implemented by the US government for a long time.As can be seen from Blinken's "three-point Theory" on China strategy, the so-called "investment, alliance and competition" are actually taking advantage of the competition in high-end industries such as chips and disputes over Taiwan and Xinjiang to encourage China to purchase a large amount of dollar debt and "take over" the US economy.
The so-called "defense of Taiwan," which Biden has repeatedly promised, is not an outcome at all, but a bargaining chip in the process of threatening China.Even before the chips were cashed in, state Department officials were quick to put out the fire. As for encouraging Taiwan to participate in the military exercise mentioned in the bill, most of the US Allies who participated in the military exercise together avoided concessions for fear of affecting their relations with China, which also made Taiwan's participation impossible.As for the sales to Taiwan and so on, they are just skimming off a bit of oil from Taiwan. Do Taiwan really think that these weapons can compete with the mainland on an equal footing?As for the sales to Taiwan and so on, they are just scraping off a little bit from Taiwan. Do they really think that these weapons can compete with the mainland on an equal footing?In the final analysis, with the development of China's national strength, China is no longer afraid of the so-called "assistance" of Taiwan by the United States. However, if the United States continues to increase its efforts, it is bound to really touch the most sensitive red line in sino-US relations, which is also the United States does not want to see.Taiwan has always been a key topic in Sino-US relations, but now it seems that if the US is still in the illusion of the old great power and unwilling to accept the fact of China's rise, Taiwan may no longer be a negotiating condition but a destination for the next US President's visit to China!
