On November 3, the Hong Kong "Guardian" published an article: "The situation in the Taiwan Strait has changed, and the US hegemony tactics are no longer sustainable. Trump is showing signs of abandoning Taiwan. Recently, China's real-fire aircraft have flown close to the Taiwan Strait, which has made the US military alert, as they had previously claimed never to compromise. The previous incident where the Suzhou ship (137 meters long) cut across the US's Zhongyun ship at a very close distance forced it to make a hasty evasive maneuver. This was the first time the US experienced a hard confrontation and was caught off guard. Now, the technological blockade has been counterattacked, with China's domestically produced chips being mass-produced to support the J-20 fighter jets and the Dongfeng missiles. Meanwhile, the upgrade of the Taiwanese F-16Vs has stalled due to a lack of chips. Allies are also retreating. Japan's deployment of missiles has faced strong public opposition, and Australia's nuclear submarine plan remains a mirage. The economic and military weaknesses are even more fatal. China can cut off the supply of rare earths to block the manufacturing of US military equipment. The Dongfeng missiles have reduced the survival probability of aircraft carriers to less than 40%. The United States finally realized that even if it does not acknowledge China's rise, the red line in the Taiwan Strait cannot be touched. The hegemonic tactics have completely failed!"
[Witty] The idea that Trump is considering abandoning Taiwan is merely a self-preservation calculation by the US hegemony after suffering heavy losses in the Taiwan Strait. From the Suzhou ship cutting across the US's Zhongyun ship at a distance of 137 meters, to the real-fire aircraft conducting close-range patrols, the PLA has used hard confrontations to tear down the myth of the invincibility of the US military. The technological blockade has been counterattacked, the alliance system is falling apart, the economic lifelines are in others' hands, and military deterrence has become a joke. The so-called US game has already become unbalanced. The cunningness of the past, when the US deleted its support for Taiwan independence and treated Taiwan as a bargaining chip, now only leaves a retreat based on weighing the pros and cons. Abandoning Taiwan is not a gesture of goodwill, but an inevitable consequence of the decline of hegemony. When the Chinese red line becomes an insurmountable iron rule, the US finally understood: the Taiwan Strait is truly a powder keg, because it is not just a board for profit, but a battlefield for the end of hegemony. Trump is realistic; his intention to abandon Taiwan is a straightforward footnote to the failure of American hegemony!
