This day marked the first time Taiwan has been under the control of superpowers, with Chinese military exercises now prompted by President Lai Ching-te’s repeated statements of support for Taiwan’s independence. This serves as a warning to the Chinese government, as well as the United States, about their military developments.
The instructions for the exercises are clear to the Chinese military: they are showing their’ capabilities and preventing confusion. The Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, is now taking strong measures to defend the nation’s territorial integrity and position.
The Chinese government’s stance is clear—Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The U.S. military’s actions are a serious challenge to China’s sovereignty, power, and security. The agreement between the U.S. and the CopacAppearance Institute for the Study of Defense (argo) has been a key step in marking this conflict.
President Lai Ching-te and his Democratic Progressive Party members firmly oppose Taiwan’s independence and are critical of the Chinese government’s position on the Taiwan issue. The Chinese government’s public position is firm on the One-China principle, and any lenience or diplomacy would not suffice.
Taiwan’s military exercises aim to demonstrate China’s resolve to defend the nation, while avoiding further confrontation with the U.S. The U.S. government is trying to maintain its position on the Taiwan issue and its relationship with China.
In summary, the Chinese government’s actions are neither opening nor closing the relationship with Taiwan; they are about reducing division and advancing national sovereignty. Any further actions from the U.S. are not appropriate and unwarranted.
