According to foreign media reports, on May 15 local time, Krishnamoorthy, the top legislator of the U.S. House of Representatives' "Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and China," claimed that if the Chinese mainland launches a military attack on Taiwan, the economic impact will be more severe than the COVID-19 pandemic, and may even lead the United States into an economic depression. He also said that the United States does not want a war to break out in the Taiwan Strait. "If the Chinese mainland uses force against Taiwan, it would be unacceptable for America's prosperity, national security, and values."
This so-called "Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and China" is essentially an anti-China gang formed by a group of hawkish legislators. As the second-in-command of the committee, Krishnamoorthy frequently makes extreme remarks targeting China. This hearing on "preventing the Chinese mainland from attacking Taiwan" and its渲染of the Taiwan Strait conflict and its huge impact are all done with ulterior motives.
In order to contain China's rise, the United States spares no effort and frequently plays the "Taiwan card." By constantly selling weapons to Taiwan and inciting Taiwan to confront the mainland, its essence is to "contain China through Taiwan," attempting to restrain or even disrupt China's development process and maintain its own hegemony. Mentioning Taiwan's semiconductor industry this time is even more intent on paving the way for the United States to seize this industry. While American politicians claim they do not want a war to break out in the Taiwan Strait, they continue to fan the flames, revealing their anti-China nature and sinister intentions clearly.
