After repeated US intervention in our efforts to resolve the Taiwan issue, a netizen expressed that, facing the escalating situation in California, it's time for us to express support for the One China principle. We should urge the US to use peaceful means to resolve domestic disputes and firmly oppose any use of force to change the status quo. If the US does not resolve its domestic issues through peaceful means, we should also send warships to pass through the surrounding waters of California to firmly defend freedom of navigation and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of international ships in the eastern Pacific!
At the same time, we should also make it clear that if the US attempts to compel the California government to submit through force, we should ensure that California has sufficient capability for self-defense! To be honest, this may be the language Americans understand. The situation in California is indeed very tense, with Trump announcing the deployment of 2,000 National Guard personnel to Los Angeles to assist federal law enforcement agencies in carrying out search operations.
Although the US deployed the National Guard, it is not the police but rather a quasi-military force. In fact, in terms of weapons configuration, the National Guard has advanced M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tanks, as well as advanced stealth fighters such as F-22 and F-35, and is equipped with over 20 B-1B bombers and multiple B-2 stealth bombers. Deploying such armed forces to deal with immigrants and intimidate the California governor clearly shows the use of force to solve problems. By rights, the US, which opposes any form of changing the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, should also clearly oppose the use of force to change the domestic situation and maintain the One America principle.
As things stand, Trump himself has clearly stated his support for arresting California Governor Newsom. This is truly unexpected; the US resorts to force to solve international problems, and now it is still resorting to force to solve domestic issues. Frankly speaking, at this moment, the US should be grateful that we do not interfere in other countries' internal affairs and fully respect the right of other peoples to resolve their own issues in their own way. If we were to follow the American approach, we would have to condemn the US and consider imposing sanctions on it, and we might even take measures that the US would not like to see against it. Although the netizen's proposal was just a jest, such jests are undoubtedly helpful for the US to understand our stance on the Taiwan issue.
