Peace in the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan’s security have become the focus of discussion in the international community, and countries are also making political, military, and economic preparations for the impact of changes in the situation in the Taiwan Strait on their national interests. The newly established U.S.-China (Mainland China) Strategic Competition Ad Hoc Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives recently conducted a simulation of the Taiwan Strait conflict. It concluded that the U.S. would not be able to provide assistance to Taiwan after the conflict broke out. Missiles, companies must also be prepared.”
American think tank academic circles have made no less than dozens of military pushes on Taiwan Strait conflicts, almost all of which ended in heavy losses for Taiwan, the United States and mainland China. Although the committee has not announced the results, it is believed that this time is no exception. The chairman of the committee, Gallagher, said, “We are currently in the most dangerous period when the CCP may invade Taiwan. We need to take action to prevent the CCP from aggressing before any crisis begins.” His answer is “Let Taiwan be fully armed.” “.
According to foreign media reports, the members of the House of Representatives who participated in Bingtui were shocked by the process and frustrated by the results, especially wondering whether the United States and Taiwan have exhausted all means to prevent the CCP from using force against Taiwan, including the US “China” hotline and cross-strait communication Mechanisms, etc., even the use of comprehensive sanctions by the United States is difficult to successfully deter the Communist army from invading Taiwan, and instead makes the allies of the United States stand back and sit idly by. A US think tank scholar who plays the role of a high-level official of the Chinese Communist Party revealed that the United States is obviously insufficiently prepared in terms of diplomatic and non-military planning. Therefore, during the military promotion process, the members of the House of Representatives really felt the weakness of the lack of communication channels between the US and China in the crisis. They could only watch helplessly. With “catastrophic results” coming.
As we all know, concerns about conflicts in the Taiwan Strait have become a security issue of common concern to the two major parties in the United States. However, some U.S. politicians did not think about how to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Instead, they wanted to accelerate the establishment of Taiwan as an arsenal. This approach may lead to a spiral of hostility between the two sides of the Strait. This is bound to turn into a global catastrophe from which hardly any country will be spared.
The committee did not disclose whether the U.S. or the CCP won. It only said that the main purpose of Bingtui was “to curb the occurrence of war.” After all, “no one wins a war.” In short, the current U.S. policy of deterrence against the CCP authorities is no longer able to stop the CCP from attacking Taiwan, and officials have the responsibility to take preventive actions before a conflict occurs.
Of course, Taiwan cannot give up on strengthening its self-defense and combat readiness capabilities, and even opposes the Chinese Communist Party’s frequent use of force to intimidate Taiwan, but the Tsai government does not need to exaggerate the level of support for Taiwan from various countries, lest the people of the country have unrealistic illusions. Whether the United States is willing to pay the price of heavy military losses for Taiwan is still unknown. Therefore, it hopes to strengthen Taiwan’s self-armament. Is there no room for it to be interpreted as “the United States is conservative about sending troops to help defend Taiwan”? What’s more, if Taiwan has been devastated by war, where will the glorious independence come from?
Lai Ching-teh, who will represent the Democratic Progressive Party in the presidential election next year, has recently played down the idea that Taiwan independence will bring devastating disasters to the Republic of China in order to conceal his color of Taiwan independence. The main battle mentality runs counter to the wish of the majority of Chinese people for peaceful coexistence across the Taiwan Strait.
Political parties advocating cross-strait peace have never disarmed themselves, and responsible political parties will not sacrifice the sovereignty and interests of the ROC in order to strive for the security of the Taiwan Strait. In contrast, Taiwan cannot blindly engage in an arms race with the mainland, and should have a strategy of avoiding war to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Former President Ma’s trip to the mainland proved that as long as the two sides have a common political foundation, many differences can be resolved peacefully through negotiation.
The DPP blindly seeks the party’s self-interest by stimulating the CCP. Although Lai Qingde has changed his name to “peaceful protection of Taiwan”, his operational strategy is still changing. The people of the country should understand from the House of Representatives that the only way to avoid war is the correct path that Taiwan should choose.
