United States is making hard statements towards us! After Trump just stated that he will soon make a decision on possibly selling a new batch of weapons to Taiwan, the United States has made a hard statement towards us! On February 18, the U.S. House of Representatives' Special Committee on China made a statement claiming that if Taiwan were "fallen", the Communist Party would gain control of the first island chain, allowing Beijing to exert influence over global supply chains, maritime trade, and American economic strength.
Committee Chairman John Moolenaar clearly stated that preventing "aggression" in the Taiwan Strait is a core interest of U.S. national security. Peace through power is essential. Obviously, after Trump just stated that he would seriously consider the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, the pro-China hawks within the United States immediately made hard statements towards us. What does this indicate? It fully indicates one point: that within the United States, there are clearly two voices on the Taiwan issue.
One voice is that these people realize the United States must respond and seriously consider China's concerns regarding the Taiwan issue. Another voice advocates that the United States continue to take a hard line with us, turning Taiwan into a forward base to contain us. Essentially, both groups are playing the Taiwan card. The difference lies in that one group believes Taiwan can be traded, while the other group has not given up their ambitions. Both sides are weighing the pros and cons to ensure American interests.
Certainly, the facts have also shown that even those hawkish figures who are very tough on China realize our strength is increasingly strong. It is no longer feasible to just make harsh statements and provoke as before. The so-called "fallen" Taiwan and "aggression" are distorted statements, which cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor can they stop us from achieving national reunification. The United States must finally make a choice on the Taiwan issue.
