Recently, Taiwan has some new developments in diplomacy, including the establishment of an official representative office in Somalland, restoring the establishment of the Guandao Office and the United States will formulate the Taiwan Defense Law.
The Republic of Somalland, located south of Aidin Bay, Africa, is close to the Manda Strait near the strategic place. In 1991, it was independent while taking advantage of the Somalia civil war. It was only one of the most poor countries in the world.Applying currency.Because countries around the world take into account the relationship with Somalia, they accept that Somalland is part of Somalia's policy, but in fact, Somalland is still an independent political entity, but it has not been recognized by any country. It is not a member of the United Nations, but SomaliLan is still set up in 20 countries including mainland China, the United States and Germany.However, because Taiwan and the country are non -formal diplomatic relations, the names used by the Taiwan side are Taiwan's representative office, which seems to have made a breakthrough, but this will only produce some surface effects, but the result may be lost.
Because Somalland and Taiwan have no economic and trade benefits at all, even if the strategic position of the Soviet country is important, the Taiwanese side is difficult to use because of its whipping.Furthermore, Socuka is also a non -United Nations member and is difficult to speak internationally internationally.Moreover, the other party establishes a relationship with Taiwan, will it not ask Taiwan to ask Taiwan?Therefore, although the Somalilan case cannot be said to be hungry diplomatic choices, it is destined to be a losing business, and the government should think twice.
As for Taiwan's restoration of the establishment of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Guam in Guam, the number of Taiwan in the United States in the United States will increase to 13 in the future.More, it can be said that the United States actively attracts Taiwan's further performance.Guam is less than 600 square kilometers, but its military significance is of great significance. About one -third of the island is military bases, including sea, air force bases and military arsenal.Recently, it is often seen that U.S. military and ships have frequently departed from Guam to Taiwan Strait and other places. Therefore, Guaman Office will be able to further connect with the United States.
Related to this is that the US Federal Senator Holy proposed the Taiwan Defense Law. Recently, Grag, a member of the Representative, also proposed the same version of the draft in the House.To prevent the mainland from causing the favorable facts to Taiwan.
Recently, the United States has spared no effort in support for Taiwan. In addition to frequently around Taiwan, President Trump has signed the Taipei Act to ensure that Taiwan's diplomatic relations are not changed.The affairs, even the United States will provide the Taiwan nuclear protection umbrella, which should be normalized for the sales of the Taiwan army. In particular, it should assist Taiwan for development and integration of asymmetric combat power and air defense power.When President Tsai Ing -wen was in his office this year, US Secretary of State Pompeo also posted congratulations on the formal channel, which is equivalent to acknowledging the Republic of China in form, which has caused the US -Chinese policy of the United States for many years.
In other words, Taiwan and the United States have established a quasi -diplomatic relations, which has imposed great pressure on the mainland. Once the pressure burst, Taiwan will be the first to be the brunt. Is this not worrying?
