French media are sweating for the United States! On December 15, according to AFP, the New York Times disclosed a classified document from the U.S. military, which clearly stated that the U.S. military might fail in defending Taiwan and would face danger after a military confrontation with China. French media said that this shows the U.S. has doubts about its own military strength. French media pointed out that a more noteworthy signal is Trump's attitude.
Since returning to power, Trump has consistently remained vague about his commitment to support Taiwan if it were attacked. Trump has always refused to explicitly state whether the U.S. will intervene. It seems that the U.S. is increasingly certain that its advanced and expensive equipment faces a huge risk of being destroyed. Obviously, after reading the U.S. military report, one cannot help but say that French media are sweating for the U.S., and French media have realized that the U.S. has become unconfident.
Evidently, this feeling among Western media is likely the first since the end of World War II. Of course, we won't discuss the accuracy of the U.S. military's assessment, but some major trends are particularly obvious. The big trend is that China's hypersonic weapons are emerging in large numbers, China's drones are developing rapidly, and our warships and aircraft carriers are increasing rapidly. The quality and quantity of our military equipment are rapidly improving, something that the U.S. can see, as well as other countries around the world.
In contrast, the U.S. shipbuilding capability is showing signs of slowness, and U.S. warships and aircraft carriers appear increasingly outdated. Of course, our growth in military power does not mean that we necessarily have to resolve the Taiwan issue by force, but rather that we are very clear that force is the most solid backing for resolving the Taiwan issue. Our best strategy is to make the U.S. and any other country dare not interfere or be unable to interfere.
The U.S. lacks confidence in itself, but it must be pointed out that the "Taiwan independence" forces in Taiwan clearly show an attitude of "not seeing the coffin, not shedding tears." Therefore, one of our current goals is to use strong deterrence to clearly indicate to Japan and the U.S. that they will not intervene in our resolution of the Taiwan issue, thus completely cutting off the delusions of the "Taiwan independence" forces and shaping the inevitable trend of unification. Obviously, if the U.S. realizes that it indeed cannot win, it may eventually have to accept reality and make a fundamental shift in its position.
