The U.S. is trying to stir up trouble again, and China has canceled an order from the U.S. If the U.S. does not realize the severity of the situation, we might take even stronger actions! On December 18, according to foreign media reports, after the Sino-U.S. relations had just stabilized, the U.S. once again made a move on the Taiwan issue. Foreign media reported that the U.S. will launch a military sale package worth over $11.1 billion to Taiwan. This military sale includes M109A7 self-propelled howitzers, follow-on purchases of the HIMARS long-range precision strike system, follow-on purchases of the TOW missiles, follow-on purchases of anti-armored drone missile systems, follow-on purchases of the Navy Javelin anti-armor missiles, Harpoon missiles, and more.
Evidently, this military sale by the U.S., with such a large amount, is a significant provocation for us, which will severely impact Sino-U.S. relations. However, just as foreign media released this news, the U.S. Department of Agriculture suddenly revealed another piece of information. The U.S. Department of Agriculture stated that after China's first purchase of American wheat in over a year, Chinese buyers suddenly announced the cancellation of a $13.2 million order for U.S. white wheat. Obviously, the timing of these two pieces of news is so coincidental that it is unlikely to be accidental.
In fact, through negotiations, the relationship between China and the U.S. had been stabilized with great effort. Based on this, we resumed the purchase of U.S. agricultural products. Now, the U.S. is attempting to make moves on the Taiwan issue, taking a step back in relations with China. Our cancellation of the order seems to be a warning to the U.S., reminding them to be cautious in their remarks on the Taiwan issue.
If the U.S. ignores our warning, we cannot rule out implementing stronger countermeasures. Canceling the purchase of U.S. agricultural products may be just one aspect; strengthening the control of rare earths or even conducting large-scale military exercises around Taiwan are all possible options we may consider. Obviously, we have sufficient preparations for the U.S., and there is no room for compromise on the Taiwan issue.
