According to foreign media reports, the United States Biden government intends to aid Taiwan for $ 80 million through the "Foreign Military Financing" (FMF) channel., Another United States for unpaid military aid against Taiwan.Coincidentally, on the eve of the New Delhi G20 Summit, Reuters revealed that the news that Chinese President Xi Jinping might be absent, that is, "worshiping the meeting" or making bubbles. Whether there is a US -Taiwan relationship factor, it is worth thinking about.

For the new round of the Taiwan military aid against Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of Mainland China, of course, objected. It is more indicator.Military aid, a gifted with a disaster, stated that "the United States is carefully setting a trap with a blade to Taiwan, and spreads with flowers and honey."The United States continues to "cross the red line again" in the first Chinese policy.

Although the Global Times has no sign of Xinhua News Agency and the People's Daily, Daqian Ge criticized the US military aid against the Taiwan military, which is still very significant.First of all, from the basic trend of US -China relations in the near future, it should have been gradually on the right track, including US Secretary of State Brills, Finance Secretary Yellen, and Minister of Commerce Raymond.Constructiveness and deep exchanges in mainland China, the United States and China have shown "re -hook" in the economic and trade field.The outside world is generally expected that US -China relations will ease and improve, but if Beijing enhances the seriousness of the United States' aid to Taiwan's military, it will slow down the process of alleviating improvement.

Secondly, observing the most sensitive military relationship of the United States and China, the most eye -catching news is Xu Qilong, deputy chief of staff of the co -staff department of the Central Military Commission of the Mainland Government.The National Defense Forces Command Conference "and meeting with the U.S. Indian commander Aqurino.At the same time, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense of the Mainland also confirmed that the exchanges between the Sino -US armed forces were not in a state of interruption, and the military and diplomatic channels of the two sides remained frank and effective.This signal shows that the United States and China temporarily shelters the controversy of the US defense director Li Shangfu being sanctioned by the United States, but it is far from restoring institutionalized communication channels.Therefore, it is unknown whether the US military aid has become a new obstacle to the US -China military dialogue mechanism.

Looking at the subtle changes of the mainland's attitude towards beauty.On August 19th, after the exercise of Lai Qingde's visit to the United States in the Eastern theater, the mainland official media published the news of Xi Jinping's reply letter to American civil society the next day.On August 29th, the mainland official media reported that Xi Jinping replied to the descendant of General Stiway in the United States.Looking at the tone of the two letters before and after, the US -China relations are positive expectations. It seems that Lu Fang is participating in the APEC San Francisco Summit for November, visiting the United States again after 8 years, and paving the presence of positive public opinion in advance.

Paradoxie is that the reason why Xi Jinping might be absent from G20 may be reported by foreign media, which may be related to the political issues of the G20 entangled in the Russian and Ukraine War and cannot reach substantial results.But it is more likely that Lu Fang may not want to let the "worship party" and "so urgent" be held, at least for at least for a few months, and obtaining more favorable conditions.Painted the news of the US military in Taiwan.
