On April 15th, the high -level Taiwan -US executives were newly completed in the Taiwan Association (AIT) Taipei Office to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Law.EssenceTwo scenes compare, highlighting the three -sided relationship between the United States and China has entered a new stage.

In the past, the US -China and Taiwan relations were maintained by the three guarantees of the United States and China, the six guarantees of the Taiwan Relations Law and the United States against Taiwan.The United States emphasizes the maintenance of the current situation.These laws are actually not contradictory, but it also gives the United States a space to speak and be able to move between the two sides of the strait.

However, the US -China relations three years ago have entered a new situation.First of all, Mainland China was unbearable to Cai Yingwen's consensus not returning to 1992. The five -point conversation of this year's ... this year, the two systems were directly thrown out, which shocked Taiwan.In terms of tactics, the mainland has repeatedly announced that it will not give up to solve the Taiwan issue with force, so as to restrain Taiwan independence; now, with its increasingly strong military power, it continues to intimidate Taiwan.In recent years, there have been frequent military planes around the Taiwan. At the end of March, two J -11 fighters across the strait have been crossing the central line for ten minutes. This is an unprecedented force in the past.

The attitude of the United States has also changed.After Trump came to power, he continued to subvert the traditional US foreign strategy, and cross -strait policies are no exception. Although the United States still does not support legal Taiwan independence, it uses the method of supporting Taiwan's democracy to fight against the mainland.Not only is the administrative authorities, but the actions of Congress are also quite positive.In the past two years, the relevant laws of Taiwan have been passed by the two Houses of Congress and signed by the president, and the Taiwan Travel Law, National Defense Authorization Law, and Asian Rean Reinion Proposal Law have been included.Some people in Congress even advocated a more comprehensive bill to replace the Taiwan Relations Law in order to provide Taiwan's more comprehensive protection.

The main changes in the US cross -strait policy are: In the past, the US government did not regard mainland China as the main competitor and did not want Taiwan to stimulate the mainland to avoid causing uneasiness of the Taiwan Strait. Now, due to the various strategic competition between the United States and ChinaPlay more effective confrontation to restrain the mainland.As a result, Taiwan and the United States have begun to strengthen security cooperation, so that political relations can be pushed.But the good relationship between the United States and Taiwan is just a phenomenon in Trump's tenure, or how long it can be maintained, and still needs to be observed.

The mainland has gradually tightened the Taiwan policy and the factors behind it. Of course, there are doubts about the policy of cross -strait policy.If the United States just use Taiwan as a bargaining chip, the US -China negotiations may have room for transactions; but Beijing is really worried that if Washington gradually steps on a red line with a principle of China, it will directly pick up the sensitive nerves in Beijing.

The tension of US -China relations, many people think that it is not difficult to solve, including the US -China economic and trade frictions, and has reached an agreement at present.What is really tricky is the Taiwan issue. This is not only the main contradiction mentioned in the US -China talks in the past, but also the most difficult challenge for the mainland authorities.As a result, the mainland's military is not only targeted at Taiwan, but also warning the United States.Recently, the PLA fighter aircraft crossed the central line of the Strait. It responded to the Taiwan Strait three times in response to the US warships in the past two months; and the PLA trim on the sea and air around Taiwan, which was selected on the celebration day of the 40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Law.

In this regard, both the US Department of Defense and the State Council criticized Beijing's actions to destroy the peaceful structure, inappropriate regions, stable regions, tough attitude, and obviously inadvertently concessions.The United States' response was not only a word, but then took out again.AIT has indirectly confirmed that in 2005, active soldiers have been stationed in AIT, and the new museum will continue to be compared; the State Council announced the approval of the military sales case of 500 million US dollars of F-16 training and parts.This is a response to mainland military operations.

The new situation of the US -China relations is currently showing three aspects: on the one hand, the competition between the US -China strategy is becoming increasingly fierce; the second aspect is that the Tsai government is strengthening the anti -China force in response to the presidential election next year.It was the mainland's use of military exercises to create force intimidation around the Taiwan Strait.The vicious circle formed by the three will make Taiwan clipped in the middle and become the front line of conflict.

For such a sensitive situation, all presidential candidates should be alert and think carefully.Especially President Tsai, she is using the tightness of the US -China relations to sprint the election; but if it takes Taiwan to the fierce battle, it will be endless harm to the country and the people.
