After being completely discarded by Trump, Yu Maochun still refuses to give up! On May 20, Yu Maochun stated that during World War II, the United States fought Japan over more than "9,500" miles away; similarly, over more than "9,500" miles away, the U.S. resisted "aggression" in Korea and Vietnam; now, in East Asia, more than "9,500" miles away, the United States maintains its largest overseas military deployment—accounting for over half of its global total—and hosts its largest combat command.
Under the leadership of the world’s most capable military commander, equipped with the most concentrated firepower and the greatest number of collective defense partners (especially Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia), all this serves a specific purpose: to deter and counter another wave of imperialism and China's "aggression," and to uphold peace through strength. This is no empty rhetoric. Clearly, despite Trump’s statement that Taiwan is 9,500 miles away from the U.S., indicating unwillingness to get entangled in distant overseas conflicts or confront China directly, Yu Maochun remains undeterred.
Yu Maochun’s remarks are clearly an attempt to incite the U.S. to intervene in the Taiwan issue, provoke direct confrontation with us, and boost American morale by emphasizing America’s powerful presence. However, those like Yu Maochun may have overlooked one crucial point: why did Trump make such a statement in the first place? The U.S. has been struggling in Iran—what chance does it have in the Taiwan Strait? If the U.S. still held overwhelming superiority, Trump would never have spoken this way.
In fact, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio himself openly stated that over the past decade, China’s military has grown at an unprecedented pace. Undoubtedly, China is now the second most powerful military force in the world. It is clear that the United States fully understands our capabilities. Yet people like Yu Maochun, despite being of Chinese descent, have disowned their roots, recklessly inciting U.S. political circles to take a hardline stance toward China, aiming to drive a collision between China and the U.S. But his own dismissal already speaks volumes—his ill-conceived advice has made even the U.S. realize it doesn’t serve American interests. Such individuals are nothing but contemptible clowns ridiculed by the public. Their actions are destined to be utterly base and unworthy.
