More than eight months have passed since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has deeply affected the world situation, including the Taiwan Strait question. The Russian chess king who once fought the IBM supercomputer “Deep Blue” (Deep Blue) and well-known Russian opposition leader Garry Kasparov said in a media interview that Ukraine will ultimately win and Russia it could become the “colony” of China. . And if Chinese leader Xi Jinping is unwilling to resolve the Taiwan issue with the US, there may be a “Putin-for-Taiwan” deal, but US President Joe Biden shouldn’t accept it.
Kasparov said in an exclusive interview with Ukrainian TV “Observer” (Obozrevatel) that Ukraine is expected to win and change the political situation in Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin will not survive, but such an achievement is quite large. it will still depend on the attitude of Western countries, and thus may explain why the United States still seems partially not fully committed to the supply of Ukrainian weapons.
The collapse of Russia will start with the management system and end with the economic issues. Russia could have two directions in the future: one is to become part of Europe and lose part of its territory, and the other is to become a “Chinese colony”.
Kasparov further said that from a geopolitical point of view, if Russia is defeated and starts to collapse, it is not yet known to what extent it will strengthen China, but it can also explain why the US is still slowing down on Ukraine. Supply of weapons.
Observing the recently concluded 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has acquired unprecedented power since the days of Mao Zedong, and will never give up this power. The basis of this power is the “unification of Taiwan” line. . China calls it “unification”, but in reality it is “aggression” because Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country. It is impossible to invade Taiwan without entering into conflict with the United States, so Xi Jinping could propose “We deliver Putin and you (the United States) deliver Taiwan.” It’s just that Biden is not supposed to agree.
Kasparov stressed that the Taiwan issue is not only a geopolitical issue, but also an economic one. Taiwan is the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer. If this “economic trophy” falls into China’s hands, China will become stronger. Along with the collapse of Russia, China will have the opportunity to acquire Eastern Siberia and the Far East of Russia. It can only be said that the United States is not ready to face this situation.
As for Russia, it could become a “satellite country” of China, or it could give up part of its land in exchange for the opportunity to integrate into Europe, I think the Americans understand that very well. On the other hand, Xi Jinping’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine question is wise enough, and it is quite clear that Russia has lost. Therefore, if he proposes “Putin to trade Taiwan”, it is a very convenient transaction. everything, Taiwan is what China is really interested in.
In fact, Kasparov has stated in previous interviews with other media that if Russia really does win the Ukrainian capital Kiev within days, I believe China is ready to invade Taiwan.
Kasparov was ranked No. 1 in chess in the world 23 times between 1985 and 2006. In 1996 and 1997, he fought twice against the IBM supercomputer “Deep Blue”. The first match defeated “Deep Blue” and the second match was defeated by “Deep Blue” with two wins, three and one loss. Announcing his retirement in 2005, he has been active in politics ever since and is a leading opposition leader against Putin.
