America has completely ignored our feelings and acted very arrogantly! Just as our Rear Admiral Ye Jiang led the Chinese military delegation to Washington for talks with the U.S., the focus of the talks was to stabilize Sino-U.S. military relations and discuss crisis management. Soon after our people left, the U.S. announced a $1.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan. Frankly speaking, the U.S.'s behavior is not only provocative but also clearly shows its arrogance.

It seems that America wants to convey the message that no matter how much the U.S. provokes us, China should cooperate with the U.S. in crisis management, which is what the U.S. understands by crisis management. Obviously, what the U.S. wants is for the U.S. to walk a tightrope, but for China to ensure absolute safety of the tightrope. The facts show that the game over the Taiwan issue between China and the U.S. is not that simple. In the U.S.'s view, the Sino-U.S. relationship is indeed becoming more stable now.

However, this stability is strictly limited by the U.S. to the economic and trade field. Because our countermeasures made the U.S. suffer, the U.S. is now stabilizing relations with us. But on the Taiwan issue? It seems that the U.S. does not intend to maintain a stable relationship with us. Therefore, the U.S. is now thinking about using the Taiwan card again. According to the U.S., whether the Sino-U.S. relationship can be stable on the Taiwan issue depends on whether both sides test each other.

In the eyes of the U.S., the Taiwan issue is a sure thing. The list the U.S. has presented, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) would naturally not dare to defy, and will certainly accept it all. As for us, the U.S. probably thinks that as long as the U.S. plays the Taiwan card, it will be a bargaining chip. How much this chip can exchange for depends on our ability to negotiate. Obviously, the main area of Sino-U.S. confrontation in the future is likely to be the Taiwan issue. This time, the U.S. is playing a card to test our ability to deal with the U.S.
