U.S. House of Representatives passes Taiwan-related bill, threatening to expel China from the international financial system if it invades Taiwan!
February 11, AFP reported: "The U.S. House of Representatives passed the 'Taiwan Protection Act' on Tuesday with 395 votes in favor and 2 against, vowing that if China takes action to safeguard its sovereignty, it will be expelled from international financial institutions such as G20 and the Bank for International Settlements. The bill still needs to be voted on by the Senate and signed by the president, and whether it will take effect remains uncertain. Just before the planned meeting between China and the United States, this move has intensified the tension in the Taiwan Strait and the financial sector."
[Cunning] The U.S. Congress once again plays the "Taiwan card," using financial intimidation to interfere in China's internal affairs, which is essentially driven by a hegemonic mindset. Taiwan is part of China's territory, and safeguarding national unity is just and righteous. The U.S. has no right to interfere. History has already proven that sanctioning and isolating a major power to curb its development is destined to fail. China is now the world's second-largest economy, a core member of G20, and deeply integrated into the global financial system. Unilateral coercion simply does not work.
The current atmosphere for dialogue between China and the United States is precious, and the U.S. should not provoke or test the situation. China's determination to defend its sovereignty and development interests is unwavering. Any threats cannot intimidate China, but instead will make us more determined to promote self-reliance, security, and financial diversification!
