Joe Biden’s fourth torpedo on the principle of “strategic uncertainty”, one of the pillars of peace in the Formosa Strait, was immediately rebuked by China. China’s Foreign Ministry warned of the US President’s commitment to send troops to the region. Taiwan He stressed his “extreme discontent and determined opposition” to his latest statements, saying it was a “highly false signal” to the island’s independence movement in the event of a Chinese invasion.
“We look forward to striving for peaceful reunification with all our might and sincerity,” said ministry spokesman Mao Ning. “But at the same time, we will not tolerate any activity that causes death. separation and we will take all necessary measures,” he said.
Biden’s final blow to the ‘status quo’ of the throat came in an interview that aired on the program ’60 minutes’ on Sunday. When asked if he could come to save the island, he said he would come in the event of an “unprecedented attack”. When asked to clarify whether he was considering sending troops, he agreed again, but quickly declared that he did not support independence and remained true to the one-China principle. A few hours later, the ritual was performed, White House He rejected changes in official policy. Beijing he is convinced to the contrary.
“Strategic Uncertainty”
Three times in one year, Biden had claimed that he would defend Taiwan if attacked by China. The commitment is unique because the Taiwan Relations Act 1979, Washington It will provide you with tools to defend yourself. if that means Military intervention this is something that no American president has made clear in forty years. And he’s come out three times in one year to correct the three-time White House press officer, hold the press accountable for misinterpreting his words, and validate the “strategic uncertainty.”
This principle guaranteed peace in one of the most erogenous regions of Asia. On the one hand, China is deterring its attack because it is likely. United States of America intervene. On the other hand, it curbs the excesses of the island due to the possibility of non-intervention. The red line is the unilateral declaration of independence that Beijing promised to counter by military means. President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wenexalts common sense, but preceded by provocative genres. Chen Shui BianThe one who wakes up every day thinking about how to piss off China. It’s scary to think about where Chen will go with the certainty of US military support, or what might happen if a populist leader rules Taiwan in the future. Biden’s fourth intervention against the principle of “strategic uncertainty” endorses a strategy of destruction and questions US promises that no relevant policy in Taiwan has changed.
Chinese President Xi Jinping made it clear in a recent phone call with his US counterpart that Taiwan is the main obstacle to the health of bilateral relations. more than trade or technological wars embers or complaints of human rights violations Xinjiang. Taiwan affects sovereignty and territorial integrity, which are sacred issues for China as they are linked to colonialism and other historical traumas. Biden not only moved on arms sales and official visits from the Trump administration have come, but only increased them. In China, voices calling for the apparent retirement of “strategic uncertainty”, the frenzied landing of US politicians of all kinds, or the retirement of the “one China” principle are watched with concern.
