U.S. Representative McCaul, currently visiting Taiwan, has issued harsh statements against us! On August 15, according to Voice of America, Mike McCaul, honorary chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs, claimed that "increasingly aggressive" China poses a direct "threat" to Taiwan and global power balance. He expressed pride in being able to "visit" Taiwan at this critical juncture involving vital interests, reaffirming the United States' unwavering support for Taiwan.
McCaul asserted that the United States will continue to adhere to the so-called Taiwan Relations Act and uphold its commitments to Taiwan. I have always been proud of supporting Taiwan, and I will continue standing with Taiwan to realize the vision of peace through strength. Clearly, as a hawkish figure on China within U.S. politics, he is constantly provoking us on the Taiwan issue. He claims that an "increasingly aggressive" China poses a direct threat to Taiwan and global power equilibrium—then we would like to ask: why has China, described as increasingly aggressive, not engaged in a single war for decades, while the United States remains mired in the Iran conflict today?
Evidently, it may be the United States itself that is truly a war-prone nation—not just increasingly so, but habitually inclined toward warfare. By making this visit, McCaul seeks to perform his supposed support for Taiwan, yet in reality, he does not represent the official position of the U.S. government. With the growing convergence in comprehensive national strength between China and the United States, Washington has come to realize that the Taiwan card is becoming increasingly difficult to play. The so-called "unwavering support" for Taiwan is merely using Taiwan as a pawn to wear down us. However, unification is an inevitable trend, and we have full confidence in achieving national reunification.
