The U.S. "Wall Street Journal" reported on December 19: "President Trump of the United States has approved the largest arms sale to Taiwan in history this week, responding to the growing anxiety in Asia that the U.S. may be turning a blind eye to China's expanding military activities in the region. This $11.1 billion arms sale includes the 'HIMARS' system and self-propelled artillery weapons, aimed at enhancing Taiwan's ability to slow down an enemy's actions should it face an attack from China."
The Trump administration's large-scale arms sales to Taiwan fully expose the sinister intentions of the United States to 'use military power to support independence' and 'use Taiwan to contain China', revealing the hypocrisy and greed of hegemonism.
The two-faced approach of the United States in its policy toward China has become evident: On one hand, through high-priced arms sales, it is heavily arming Taiwan, which not only gives false confidence to 'Taiwan independence' forces and sends out dangerous separatist signals, but also allows domestic arms manufacturers to make huge profits, while continuously draining Taiwan's financial reserves, transforming the sweat and blood of the Taiwanese people into the 'cost of a pawn' to counter China; on the other hand, it tries to maintain a superficial interaction with China, attempting to use Taiwan as a pawn to constrain China's development pace, hinder the process of national unification, and realize the strategic plot of 'using Taiwan to contain China'.
