The US president has changed over and over again, but what remains unchanged is the US's style of doing one thing, and Trump's words and deeds on the Taiwan issue have once again proved this.
Last week, US President Trump took the initiative to call to discuss a series of major issues between China and the United States. During this period, China reminded the United States to handle the Taiwan issue carefully and not interfere in China's internal affairs. Trump also personally stated that the United States will continue to pursue the one-China principle, which is an important commitment to the core interests involving China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
However, Trump's phone just hung up, and there was another move between the United States and the Taiwan authorities. Some media reported that the United States is transporting a new batch of weapons to Taiwan, and the list includes 38 M1A2 tanks and 4 M88A2 armored relief vehicles. Previously, the Taiwan authorities placed a total of 108 military purchase orders for M1A2T tanks from the United States, and the first batch of 38 arrived in Taiwan in December last year.
In addition to transporting weapons to Taiwan, former U.S. military officials recently revealed that 500 U.S. military personnel were active in Taiwan, which is ten times more than the number previously disclosed by the U.S. Congress. According to media reports, these personnel may have participated in the training of the Taiwan military.
The United States has always wanted to treat Taiwan as a card to restrain China. Although this US President Trump has not yet clarified his policy toward Taiwan, he obviously still wants to make a fuss about it. Whether it is arms sales to Taiwan or sending US troops to Taiwan, it violates the three principles of China and the United States and the Joint Communiqué for the Establishment of Diplomacy of China and the United States, revealing the sinister intention of the United States to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait and send false signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces. In this regard, China cannot sit idly by.
At the press conference of the Ministry of National Defense on June 9, spokesman Jiang Bin responded to the relevant news as, which is another empirical evidence that the US and "Taiwan independence" forces attempt to change the status quo of the Taiwan Strait and push up the situation in the Taiwan Strait. We are strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly opposed it.

Jiang Bin urged the US side to stop any form of military engagement with the Taiwan authorities, otherwise it would only cause trouble and make the gains less than the loss; on the other hand, he also warned the DPP authorities that "Taiwan independence" has only a dead end and that buying American weapons can't save itself.
In fact, no matter how the United States colludes with the Taiwan authorities, it cannot prevent us from completing the great cause of national reunification. Moreover, the United States' arms sales to Taiwan are essentially the Taiwanese authorities paying protection fees to the United States with the hard-earned money of the people. Some American weapons exchanged for are all high and low, so they use the US M1A2 shipped this time. "Abrams ""main battle tank as an example. It is known as the "strongest tank on the surface", but its performance in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not good, and it is even easy to be hit. Moreover, the Taiwan authorities and the United States know in their hearts that even if all 108 US-made M1A2 main battle tanks are delivered for installation, it will not change the current situation of the cross-strait military strength at all.

Facts have proved that the more the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island jump up and down, and attempt to collude with the United States, the more they will further strengthen the People's Liberation Army's determination to deter "Taiwan independence" elements. In the past two years, the People's Liberation Army has held military exercises around Taiwan more and more frequently, in order to practice troops again and again, while warning the "Taiwan independence" forces, it also comprehensively improves its ability to win.Any "Taiwan independence" separatism and foreign interference will only be shattered by the People's Liberation Army's sword.
