While Chinese President Xi Jinping is gearing up to seek the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party for a third term, US Secretary of State Anthony Blanderkin accused China of advancing its preparations to capture Taiwan.
According to what was reported by the American newspaper (Washington Post) today, the American minister claimed – during his participation in the effectiveness organised by the University of Stanford – that there has been a change in China’s policy towards Taiwan in recent years, and that this includes a fundamental decision that the current situation is no longer acceptable and that Beijing is determined to address the recession According to a much faster time schedule.
Beninken did not elaborate on the assertion that there is a shorter timeline, but he did say that China might be prepared to adopt coercive measures, which would cause extremely high tensions.”
For its part, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Plinken’s statements as “an example of the United States retracting its commitment to one China policy that recognizes Beijing’s position that there is only one China.
The United States repeatedly broke its word, said to ministry spokesman Wang Win Ben. And citing a trip to Taiwan in August by Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which I fiercely opposed Beijing on, Washington has substantially loosened the limits placed on official interactions with the independent island.
“Solving the Taiwan issue is a matter of the Chinese,” Wang added.
Washington and Beijing are at odds, and China is being criticised by Western nations for its relations with Russia and Taiwan. The battle in Ukraine has aroused concerns among Taiwanese citizens that it may embolden China, which claims that the island, which it has never ruled, is part of its territory. China has refrained from publicly criticising the Russian war in Ukraine.
Following President Biden’s declaration that the US military would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack—statements that eventually brought the White House to its knees—the gaps between the US and China also widened. While Washington does not recognise Taiwan diplomatically, the two countries nonetheless enjoy a close relationship, particularly when it comes to trade and the sale of armaments.
In a speech to his party last Sunday, the Chinese president declared that “the wheels of history are turning towards reuniting China with Taiwan.”
In addition, “China will retain the option to take all necessary steps, even though it prefers peaceful actions.
The Chinese president also described the process of “the great renewal of China”, which is his vision of the position of the Chinese nation as a center for international affairs as a “historical process that is not in which” and that monotheism with Taiwan is an essential part of that vision..
China is adamant about annexing Taiwan as soon as possible.
