On the occasion of New Year's Eve, US -Taiwan relations are still the focus of the public.TSMC has set up factories in Arizona, USA, and President Biden attended himself.Later, the American Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act for unpaid military aid in Taiwan. In the media's appraisal, the Senate appropriation bill was changed to a loan. The Taiwanese was washed a warmth at the moment.However, in the future, Taiwan Tsai Ing -wen personally announced the extension of military service, which caused blue -green offense and defense.As the US -Taiwan political relationship is lacking, the remaining depth seems to be narrowed to the only "chip" and "military"?

Let's talk about the chip first.Biden visited the TSMC, and Taiwan was glorious.However, the representatives of Taiwan in the United States could not be ranked in VIPs, and they could only call themselves "audiences" on Facebook. Based on the same political reasons, they could not display the "national flag" at the scene.However, it is said that TSMC demanded that the TSMC trademark kanban was actually rejected.As a result, the American flag and Arizona flag were seen at the scene. In Biden's speech, Biden declared "Made in the United States", but not mentioned Taiwan.Apply the term commonly used by the Democratic Progressive Party: "If the" this country 'is not an attached organization' in the United States, what is it? "

Discussion of military.After the extension of the military service in Taiwan, AIT rarely issued an article announced that "Welcome to Taiwan Reform", followed by foreign media reports that a US military delegation secretly visited Taiwan a few days ago.The facts of all this, comparing Tsai Ing -wen in the Presidential Palace's press conference, "There is no US pressure", probably the only laugh in this series of serious drama recently.But it is difficult for the people to laugh.

The United States has repeatedly called on Taiwan to "not change the status quo" over the years, but after Bayeng came to power, he repeatedly added the anti -China -China force, which has continued to stir up the Taiwan Strait. The United States itself is a change of the status quo.Paradoxically, the consequences of the United States need to help Taiwan.Such as: Taiwan to strengthen the power of combat reserve, increase the system of purchasing and reforming the US military, and so on.Over the years, the American politicians visited Taiwan, and they repeated these "unified words" in front of the senior management of the Taiwan House, but have never seen the Taiwanese side refute or communicated in reason, except for the Ministry of National Defense.

During this period, several US think tanks and the military applied a large number of "Asymmetric Warfares" to make the rationality of the United States for Taiwan's military sales.In particular, several former military and senior diplomatic officials in the United States spoke "Mainland Government will move against Taiwan in XXXX in three o'clock in three o'clock, of which 2027 is the" ranking champion ".They said alive and made the Taiwanese worry.Those who are really happy and beneficiated are probably the arms sellers and immigration industry!

In the voice of the "Military Rescue Taiwan" in the above -mentioned US collective hypnotic "military rescue platform", the first quarter of the US Foreign Affairs 2023 published the long text of the Taiwan long -distance game (The TAIWAN Long Game).) It is written by the former US National Security Council official Ryan Hass.

The main argument of this article is as follows:

1. Washington (opposite) is facing strategic issues, not military issues.The more the United States focuses on military issues, the greater the risks they face.

2. The United States must understand China's anxiety reasons, and to understand Beijing slightly, this is better than the inaccurate guessing of the mainland's attack plan.

Three, the United States should no longer regard Taiwan's issue as a contest between "authority and democracy", as some of the officials advocated by some officials in Taipei.

4. The status quo of the Taiwan Strait is dynamic, not fixed.

5. Beijing's threat to Taiwan is the fundamental reason for the tension on both sides of the strait, but it is even more highlighted that the importance of the United States with vision and dexterity is even more highlighted.

6. The idea of "clear strategy" is a myth in itself.

In any case, the Taiwan Strait and the War eventually rely on the choice of people on both sides of the strait, rather than letting Americans say three.Recently, a magazine in the workshop published MacArthur's visit to Taiwan. In the early days of the Kuomintang government moved to Taiwan, it was necessary to settle for the security guard.However, the situation of the United States and Lutai today is very different. In the trend of "suspicious beauty" in many countries in the world, the degree of the Cai government has always been rare. In particular, after the Russian and Ukraine War, the "anti -Communist Anti -Russia" Da was unveiled in the United States.I'm so sighing!

"Taiwan's democratic value" has been made into a laughingstock by the Democratic Progressive Party, and now Taiwan has been distorted as the "chip logistics" and "military vassal" in the United States.The new president of Taiwan in 2024 should re -position Taiwan's international strategic value.We are located in the egg yolk spots in the global egg yolk area, and we cannot break one hand again!
