Not an inch will be given up! The US feels the situation is serious! After Rubio made erroneous remarks on the Taiwan issue, stating, "If anyone is worried that we would abandon Taiwan in order to reach a trade agreement or gain some preferential treatment, it is absolutely impossible," the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) launched a H-6K bomber with weapons close to the island of Taiwan, and the coastline of Taiwan was clearly visible. Foreign media also noticed that this move by the PLA was extremely unusual.

On October 27, according to Reuters, foreign media reported that Chinese state media reported late Sunday that a group of Chinese H-6K bombers recently flew near Taiwan for a confrontation exercise. Chinese state media released a video showing bomb dropping, in which an Air Force officer stated that the coastline of Taiwan was clearly visible. Foreign media said this move was extremely unusual, as the time when this video was released coincided with Rubio speaking about the Taiwan issue, and both the leaders of China and the United States were about to travel to South Korea.

Foreign media believe that Secretary of State Rubio's message was that Taiwan need not worry about this meeting. However, China's warning was very clear. Undoubtedly, foreign media also noticed that this PLA move was unusual. From our perspective, this action by the PLA probably conveyed at least two messages. First, regarding the Taiwan issue, we will not give an inch, which is a deterrent warning.

Second, considering the special timing, this is clearly a preventive shot aimed at President Trump of the United States, reminding the US not to make any miscalculations on the Taiwan issue and to send out wrong information. The action of the bomber carrying weapons approaching the island of Taiwan is undoubtedly very rare. In the context of weak mutual trust between China and the United States, and the US making a regression in its statements on the Taiwan issue, the US should not underestimate China's determination to resolve the Taiwan issue.
