Before Biden took office as President of the United States, the Trump administration intended to stimulate further tension in cross-strait relations and Sino-US relations. “Global Times” editor-in-chief Hu Xijin posted in a mysterious post, saying that these 10 days are a “rare window period” for “painful lessons” for Taiwan independence. Hu Xijin didn’t give much explanation, and the “Global Times” earlier stated that PLA fighter planes might fly directly over Taiwan. Hu Xijin’s post at this time caused heated discussions on the island of Taiwan, and public opinion questioned “Are you going to do it?”
Hu Xijin posted a post on Weibo on Sunday (10th) evening. The content was very brief but very serious:
“Old Hu wants to say that the last 10 days before January 20 is a rare window period for mainland China to teach the’Taiwan independence’ forces a painful lesson, and it is also a valuable window period for us to shape new strategic leverage in the struggle across the Taiwan Strait.”
Although Hu Xijin didn’t say it explicitly, it was obvious that January 20 was the day when Biden was sworn in, and it was the last 10 days of Trump’s administration. Hu Xijin’s post is undoubtedly related to the recent actions of the Trump administration in the United States.
The Trump administration announced earlier that it would arrange for Kelly Craft, the U.S. representative to the United Nations, to visit Taiwan from January 13 to 15. The U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo also declared that it would withdraw all “self-imposed restrictions on official US-Taiwan relations”. “.

The Trump administration’s actions aroused Beijing’s anger. China criticized Pompeo and other American politicians for “finally madness” for deliberately sabotaging Sino-US relations by using the remaining term of office and “must be punished by history.”
The Global Times even stated that if Pompeo visits Taiwan before the end of his term, the PLA will fly over Taiwan to declare sovereignty. If Taiwan and the United States dare to respond with drastic actions, it will trigger a war.
