A senior official of the US Department of Defense warns that the cost and risk of blocking Taiwan in mainland China will be very high, and any attempts may be counterproductive.
According to VOA, the US Department of Defense, the assistant minister of Indo -Pacific Security Affairs Ely Ratner, on Thursday (October 5) to attend the Washington Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center discussion meeting on Thursday (October 5).Said: "The cost of Beijing (blocking Taiwan) looks very high, and the risk looks very high."
He said that once mainland China began to block Taiwan, the global economy will fall into the bottom.People can avoid the economic pain caused by the People's Republic of China to the world. "
Latna also warned that mainland China blocked the devastating economic impact caused by Taiwan, which may promote the unity of the international community to fight against Beijing.
Latna also proposed the difficulty of blocking Taiwan in actual operation, saying that although the military in mainland China has improved, the evaluation of the Pentagon does not believe that Beijing has the ability to completely block Taiwan.
He said that Taiwan can still choose to rely on himself to cooperate with the international community to ensure the industrial supplies and raw materials, food and energy required by society.In this way, the mainland Chinese military will be difficult to deal with.
Latner said, "In the end, Beijing will decide whether to start attacking the merchant ship to maintain the blockade." However, if Beijing is determined to attack the merchant ship, it will increase the situation."Very, very high".
In addition, Lartna also urged high -level communication channels between Sino -US senior military officials, because the high -rise communication between the Pentagon and the Beijing peer "" has basically been cut off in the past year"" ".
