The Trump administration is frantically using the last forty days of its term to provoke China, and some believe that it is not worth it to fight his team now, and that it is better to be patient. This is a dangerous strategy. Because if they think we will endure, they will be more and more reckless and will do things that will seriously harm China’s national interests and will set an example for future Biden administrations to follow.
We must be resolute in combating the arrogance of the Trump team, and not be afraid to engage in a high-intensity confrontation with them if they crosses the red line.
Recently, there have been various speculations that the Trump team may make a big move against the Taiwan issue at the last moment before leaving office, including sending Pompeo to Taiwan, or even Trump himself making a lightning visit to Taiwan and announcing the establishment of diplomatic relations with Taiwan, etc. The recent visit of Asia-Pacific intelligence officials to Taiwan was a front-runner. In that case, our response would have to be thunderous to kill the DPP authorities who cooperated with the Trump administration in doing so. As the lightest option, we would have to send fighter jets to fly over the island and, depending on the severity of the situation, declare China’s sovereignty by flying either a general overflight of the island or an ultra-low altitude flight in Taipei, which would be a heavy blow to U.S.-Taiwan arrogance.
We need to have full confidence that the Trump team, though acting crazy now, is at its weakest and least supported before it leaves office. The world can see that they are undermining U.S.-China relations in an unprecedented, anti-regulation way, trying to lay down a tougher line on China for the next U.S. administration. This is their attempt to dominate U.S. national strategy across the term, and it is a serious disruption of the normal transition of power.
Internationally, the Trump administration is provoking China, and this judgment can be made at a glance. A visit to Taiwan by Pompeo and above would be a gross violation of the one-China principle, which will never be accepted by Beijing, and which is expected by the world. The world will have some understanding of the strong reaction of mainland China at this time.
Therefore, we are not afraid of a serious crisis in the Taiwan Strait at this time, let our warplanes fly over the island of Taiwan, we will form a counterattack against the U.S. and Taiwan to break their moral self-righteousness, the Taiwan army does not dare to open fire on the PLA planes, once they open fire, it means the outbreak of war, our military can immediately carry out a devastating blow to the Taiwanese military airfield and other important military facilities.
Our army is well prepared for such a military struggle, and the entire nation will certainly share the same hatred for the enemy. Taiwan’s morale will quickly disintegrate, while the U.S. side will find it difficult to gain the support of the entire U.S. society that is needed for a high-intensity confrontation between the U.S. and China, as this is an unorthodox operation by Trump before he leaves office, with obvious one-party self-interest and the small-circle ambitions of his ruling team. The end result of this conflict will surely be a victory for our side and a gloomy farewell to power for the Trump team.
We need to take it easy and let nature take its course. The current bad situation in U.S.-China relations is not what we want to see. However, if there is no way to avoid disaster, and we need to face the storm that the Trump administration is stirring up in its finale .
China is a nuclear power, a space power, we have ample combat power near the first island chain, and a strong counter-intervention capability. Win this fight and we will achieve a new level of foreign authority.
