As the US -China trade war was in full swing, the two sides even overturned the Hong Kong cards and Taiwan cards, and may even expand to the South China Sea and Indo -Pacific region if necessary.Why are the US -China stretching the front? Is it ready to fight for a long time?
On the 28th, the Trump administration officially announced that it would impose an additional 5%tariff from 10%tariffs from 10%tariffs on September 1st and December 15th on September 1 and December 15.Trump's move is mainly to retaliate against tariffs on US $ 75 billion in US $ 75 billion in US $ 75 billion.
The Beidaihe Conference of Mainland China ended not long ago every summer. The conclusion was that the leaders of Zhongnanhai had seen through Trump's negotiation tricks and decided to fight a long -lasting battle with the United States in trade.The United States obviously obtained intelligence and decided to stretch the front.This is why the two sides have recently come to me and expand the front to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Early in the morning on the 29th, a lot of PLAs took armored vehicles and troops to enter all parts of Hong Kong through Huanggang Port.The Xinhua News Agency of the Mainland announced by the way that this was the 22nd rotation action since the PLA settled in Hong Kong.Although Lu Fang claimed that this was a routine defense, the PLA's such a big operation showed that Beijing was interested in the Hong Kong people and the outside world warning.In addition to the prestige, it also has the political meaning of psychological warfare.
Of course, the United States is not a fuel -saving lamp.Trump called on Beijing to treat the Hong Kong people in humanitarian early August, otherwise the US -China trade negotiations may stop.
In addition to calling for and warning, the US State Department and Pentagon also moved out various tools to pressure the land.At the request of the members of the Congress of Youtai, the new Asia -Pacific aid, Shi Dewei, was working on how to renovate how to renovate the US Taiwan policy adjustment of Taiwan ’s Taiwan policy and a non -disclosure of Taiwan’ s Taiwan ’s policy adjustment in September 1994.
The members of the Youtai Parliament hope to change the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office of Taiwan to the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office or the representative office of Taiwan.The flag is deleted.In addition, they also urged Shi Dewei to adjust the new version of the US policy adjustment in accordance with the amendments to the Taiwan Travel Law, Taiwan Guarantee Law, the Asian Security Initiative Law and the National Defense Law Law in accordance with the Congress.
These actions are not only aimed at the Chinese player, but also for the Beijing Big Big Hong Kong card, but also have the political meaning of anti -mainland to fight the trade -over war, which can at least form a certain role of restraint.
In this regard, the U.S. Navy has undoubtedly cooperated with the Trump administration's policy.In addition to maintaining the prestige of the South China Sea, the United States is using the incidents of the US warships to visit the port of the mainland to pave the way for his Japanese and American ships.
This shows that the United States and China are not necessarily preparing to fight for a long -lasting trade, but both sides intend to increase the Hong Kong cards and Taiwan cards to maintain a protracted situation.
