Tsai Ing -wen, Taiwan announced on December 27 that the national military service has been extended from 2024 to one year, because the four -month service period can no longer be due to the current demand for combat reserve.From the perspective of election politics, this is obviously not a popular decision, so there is no factors behind American political pressure.However, this decision also reflects the USTE's judgment on the potential military conflict on both sides of the strait.Recently, the strength and density of Taiwan's military exercises have greatly improved their strengths and density, and their attitudes towards the DPP government have become stricter. In addition, the US -China game has not significantly cooled, and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait deserves close attention from all parties.
Since Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is about to step down, has continued to strengthen its military pressure on Taiwan in Mainland China in August this year. In addition to the large -scale military exercises including test -shooting missiles at the time,The tacit understanding of the middle line of the strait continued to send various fighters and bombers across the midline.Within 24 hours from December 25th to 26th, the PLA sent 71 military aircraft to fly around Taiwan to surpass the Crisis of the Taiwan Strait in August.Since 2022, more than 2,000 main military aircraft have appeared densely in the Taiwan Strait, exceeding the sum of the first three years.
The US White House National Security Council refers to Beijing's actions "provocative" and "damage stability".After determining that China is the biggest strategic challenge of the United States, Washington is constantly strengthening the policy of China.U.S. Secretary of State Broskens presided over the establishment of the "China Affairs Coordination Office" on December 16, indicating that the new department will ensure that the United States can "responsible management" with Beijing competition.The two hospitals have recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act in the near future. In the next five years, it will provide Taiwan with unpaid military assistance to Taiwan in the next five years. It also authorizes U.S. government officials to exchange for two years.
In the field of economy and trade technology, the United States has continued to increase pressure on China.The Wiscort peric in the Wisconsina, a member of the House of Representatives, will be the chairman of the US House of Representatives next year. Gragel, a member of the Star Star State of the United States, said he plans to review the investment of American companies in China.In October, the United States announced the strict chip technology export control, and listed dozens of Chinese companies on a blacklist to prevent China from dominating future industries and using advanced chip to develop cutting -edge weapons and equipment.Make sure that the supply chain is not interrupted.Therefore, strengthening cooperation against Taiwan is not without intention to restrain China.
In addition to strengthening the military deployment in Guam, the United States has also promoted military preparations for major Asia -Pacific allies Japan and Australia to strengthen the coordinated combat capabilities of the army of various countries.The United States and Australia held an annual ministerial consultation meeting on December 6 to agree to increase rotation of sea, land and air forces in Australia, including bombers and fighters, and invited Japan to join.Japan and Australia signed a new bilateral security agreement on October 22, including military, intelligence and network security and cooperation in the field of space, law enforcement, logistics and protection of telecommunications.These actions are regarded as preparing for the military conflict of the Taiwan Strait.
Although the head of the United States and China at the Gemplary Group of the 20th Golden Group in Bali and agreed to keep in contact, the trip to US Secretary of State Brillin's visit to China early next year was generally determined, but China was obviously not satisfied with the United States proposed to set up "The guardrail ", avoiding the deterioration of the situation, on the one hand, and constantly talking about the various words and deeds of China.When the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi talked to Brinken on December 23, he criticized the United States to "talk about dialogue and contain".It is foreseeable that the United States does not change its strategy for China, and this is exactly the potential risk of the Taiwan Strait that may wipe the guns and get angry.
The United States and China may be partially restored, but the two sides of the strait still lack direct communication channels.With the increasing military pressure in mainland China, once the front -line troops have undergone unexpected contacts, how to quickly prevent the upgrading of the situation will be a major challenge.The Taiwan Strait in 2023 or "the most dangerous region" outside Ukraine, the experience of the Russian and Ukraine war has shown that killing the enemy by one thousand will need to damage 800, especially as the battlefield side, it is even more inevitable to bear the destruction price.EssenceTherefore, all parties must do their best to maintain the precious peace and stability of the region.
