Blown Up! US Company and Taiwanese Military Successfully Test Attack Drones

On February 5 local time, the US Kratos Defense & Space Company and the Taiwanese military completed the integration test of the "Kangfeng IV" attack drone. The drone was modified from a US-made target drone, with an attack range of 1,000 kilometers. The Taiwanese side plans to mass-produce and deploy it, boasting its "deterrent effect," and the test photo also shows the drone in the same frame as the US military's "Valkyrie" drone. This military collusion between the US and Taiwan seriously violates the One-China Principle and escalates regional tensions. China has always firmly opposed the military ties between the US and Taiwan, urging the US to abide by the three joint communiqués between China and the US and stop arming Taiwan. The attempts of "Taiwan independence" forces to "seek independence through military means" and "seek independence by relying on foreign powers" will inevitably fail.

The so-called "drone deterrence" promoted by the US and Taiwan is nothing but a dangerous farce that deceives oneself! The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have long nailed the sovereignty of Taiwan in historical and legal terms. The fact that 181 countries recognize the One-China Principle leaves no room for separatist forces to act recklessly. The Ukraine conflict has proven that drones modified from target drones are nothing more than "live targets" in front of a mature air defense system.

Now, China's diplomatic temperature continues to rise, with frequent visits from high-level officials of many countries. The United States itself also needs to communicate practically with China. The so-called "milestone in US-Taiwan defense cooperation" is merely a transaction where the US earns "protection money" and the Taiwan authorities buy "illusory sense of security." The Taiwan authorities gamble the safety of 23 million compatriots, trying to block the tide of national reunification with a few weapons, which is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. History and reality clearly show: the path of secession is not feasible, and any act of colluding with external forces to seek independence will eventually be swept away by the tide of unification!
