【US Media Given Platform for Lai Qingde, Mainland Strikes Back Decisively! Expels American Journalist】

Regarding China's sovereignty red lines, no external forces are allowed to incite "Taiwan independence" or provide a platform for "Taiwan independence" figures. The American journalist has been expelled from the country.

According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao on the 31st, earlier this year, The New York Times conducted an exclusive interview with Lai Qingde. In response, the mainland took countermeasures and revoked the visa of one of the newspaper’s correspondents stationed in China.

US media interpretation suggests this indicates that the mainland has drawn a clear red line—prohibiting any platform for promoting "Taiwan independence" through figures like Lai Qingde.

To be honest, since the Trump administration came into power, China has become increasingly firm in handling Taiwan-related issues.

On one hand, China has directly confronted the US, making it clear that interference in cross-strait affairs is unacceptable—otherwise, a minor miscalculation could trigger Sino-US conflict, with consequences fully borne by the US side.

On the other hand, China has begun taking concrete actions to prevent the US from advancing arms sales to Taiwan—for example, under Chinese pressure, Trump suspended a major arms deal.

Today, China’s efforts to combat "Taiwan independence" and promote reunification are intensifying. It will no longer allow US media to serve as a mouthpiece for "Taiwan independence"—a significant shift reflecting how clearly Beijing has defined its red lines and tightened the reins on "Taiwan independence."

From the reactions observed, the US is gradually accepting these changes made by China.

First, Trump publicly stated a “no support for Taiwan independence” stance;

Second, the US Defense Secretary attended the Shangri-La Dialogue but remarkably said nothing about Taiwan;

Third, military activities by the US in the Taiwan Strait have decreased.

However, what the US has done so far is still far from sufficient—it must completely sever ties with the Taiwan authorities.
