He Pingli | US threatens to turn the Taiwan Strait into a "hell", damaging Sino-US relations and undermining peace and stability
The United States seems unable to resist continuing to increase its interference in the Taiwan issue and constantly sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
The Washington Post recently published an opinion article, quoting Admiral Paparo, the new commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, as saying that if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the United States will "use a range of confidential capabilities to turn the Taiwan Strait into an empty hell."
The United States has created a "no-man's-land hellscape" in Ukraine and Gaza, but this is clearly not enough for a man who is like the devil and is unwilling to let the busybodies in Washington rest on their blood-stained laurels.
According to Paparo, the United States plans to deploy and use a large number of lethal drone forces to buy time for "everything else that's left." This is clearly intended to brag about the United States' military capabilities in the region and to support Lai Ching-te's administration.
It is precisely because of the connivance and support of the United States that the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have become increasingly emboldened and are going further and further down the dangerous path of splitting the motherland. However, even in the worst case scenario, the United States will not be able to realize their fantasy and will only bring great suffering to the people of Taiwan.
The United States should fully recognize the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue and the dangerous ambitions of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and realize that "Taiwan independence" is the biggest threat to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and a major challenge to China-US relations.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and brooks no external interference. No pressure or threats can in any way shake the Chinese government and people's firm determination, firm will and powerful ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The United States should earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, abide by its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence", stop sending any wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces in any way, and stop damaging Sino-US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
