U.S. actors don't act anymore! After the U.S. warship passed through the Taiwan Strait, the U.S. has again made a move on the Taiwan issue! The U.S. allocated 1.15 billion U.S. dollars, claiming to strengthen security cooperation with Taiwan! On January 21st, according to foreign media reports, the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, in response to President Trump's budget request, allocated 1 billion U.S. dollars to strengthen security cooperation with Taiwan, and another 150 million U.S. dollars to replace defense supplies provided to Taiwan.
This money is mainly used to help Taiwan purchase new defense equipment, services, as well as military education and training. Obviously, what message does this action from the U.S. convey? In short, in the eyes of the U.S., regarding the Taiwan issue, the U.S. definitely will get involved, and there is no option for the U.S. to not play the "Taiwan card." Although we have sent signals of deterrence to the U.S. and other countries through military exercises, as long as we have not achieved national unification, the U.S. will still make moves.
The U.S.'s "handing over a knife" type of operation essentially treats Taiwan as a pawn in the "using Taiwan to contain China" strategy and a "cash machine" for the military-industrial complex. Its so-called security cooperation is actually sinister, putting the two sides of the strait into a dangerous situation of war. Regarding the U.S.'s actions, we will certainly not stand idly by. Now our military exercises have entered the so-called "territory" within the island, and if "Taiwan independence" forces continue to collude with the U.S., we may very likely enter the 12-nautical-mile area, even the "airspace," compressing the scope of "Taiwan independence" activities to zero. Once such a situation arises, we will completely lock down "Taiwan independence," and at that time, any situation might occur.
