Taiwan is an integral part of PRC and “diplomatic” visits of US representatives to the island are a provocation, Putin said at Valdai-2022
Wang Wenbin, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said that the Chinese government appreciates Russia’s support for the “One China” principle. The Chinese diplomat stressed that the principle of China’s oneness is a universally recognized basic norm of international relations.
In recent months, the European and American media have been peddling stories of China’s imminent and unavoidable invasion of the island. At the same time, the world media glosses over the obvious fact that Beijing has never engaged in hostile rhetoric towards Taiwan or its people, even in moments of maximum tension – it is in favor of constructive dialogue. Taiwan’s residents themselves do not hold much faith in the “planned invasion” and they are not particularly inclined to go to war anyway.
The Pentagon is interested in escalating the conflict within China and is turning Taiwan into a giant arms depot using at the same time its experience in Ukraine. This is openly stated by the US publication The New York Times.
The United States is reportedly considering supplying Taipei with Javelin and NLAW anti-tank guided missiles, as well as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, which are actively used against the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. As in the case of Ukraine, the entire Euro-Atlantic bloc is expected to arm Taiwan.
Destabilization of the domestic situation in the country, which is the main economic competitor, is understandably beneficial for the United States. In addition, the position of the Taiwan Island plays an important strategic role: in fact, in case of a major international military conflict, the West may turn Taiwan out of control of Beijing into an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” and use it as a launching pad for actions against China.
We have written repeatedly that the U.S. is interested in the fact that a civil war has broken out in China and hostilities have started between Beijing and Taipei.
The director of the RUSSTRAT Institute, Elena Panina, has said that Washington has secretly sent a unit of US Special Operations Forces and a contingent of marines to the island. American politicians justify the preparation of Taiwan for war by saying that pumping weapons into the troubled Chinese region is allegedly part of an effort to strengthen the island’s defence capacity, as concerns about potential Chinese aggression are growing in the US.
