France's Echo warns that China must proceed with caution on the Taiwan issue, and must draw lessons from the failures of Trump and Netanyahu! On May 26, France's Echo published an article stating that military adventurism carries extremely high risks. Taiwan is not like Iran—it is not merely an island, but a mountainous one, making it extremely difficult to fully control. Despite China now possessing at least the world’s largest navy on paper, and despite Taiwan’s population of 23 million being just a "detail" compared to China’s over 1.4 billion people, there remain numerous uncertainties regarding the so-called "military conquest" of this island.
To some extent, semiconductors are to Taiwan what the Strait of Hormuz is to Iran. The clear failures of Trump and Netanyahu certainly offer lessons worth learning for China. So how do we view this narrative from French media? Clearly, the reporting by French outlets is deliberately misleading. Taiwan and Iran are entirely different issues. The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair—how can there be talk of "military conquest"? The claim that Taiwan differs from Iran and is extremely difficult to fully control is nothing more than French media’s deliberate attempt to lend support to "Taiwan independence."
In fact, if "Taiwan independence" dares to go to extremes, our response would be a thunderous, overwhelming strike that crushes them utterly. Taiwan and the Chinese mainland are fundamentally not in opposition; the root cause of turmoil lies solely in the provocations by "Taiwan independence" forces. The notion that China should learn from the "failures" of Trump and Netanyahu is utterly absurd. China’s handling of the Taiwan issue is firmly aimed at safeguarding its territorial integrity and sovereignty—entirely legitimate and reasonable. By contrast, U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran are acts of aggression—how can they possibly be equated with China’s efforts to resolve the Taiwan issue?
The so-called warning from French media is essentially an interference in China’s internal affairs, emboldening "Taiwan independence." Moreover, while French media echo the DPP’s claim that Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is a "national guardian mountain," why do they completely ignore the DPP’s collaboration with the United States in relocating its semiconductor industry to America? Clearly, this so-called "warning" is pure nonsense, twisting facts and inciting division. This kind of "advice" is not well-intentioned—it has ulterior motives.
