[Epoch Times News on August 18, 2021](Interviews and reports by Epoch Times reporters Luo Ya and Cheng Jing) On Tuesday (17th), a senior U.S. Republican senator tweeted falsely claiming that Taiwan has 30,000 U.S. troops stationed in Taiwan. Official media of the Chinese Communist Party The “Global Times” published an article saying that if there are 30,000 US troops stationed in Taiwan, the “Liberation of Taiwan” war will be launched immediately. Experts believe that the frequent clamor of the party media for launching wars across the Taiwan Strait has made the outside world even more disgusted by the CCP regime and forced Beijing into a strategic dilemma.
U.S. senators clamored for “war” when they mistyped the ring
Senator John Cornyn of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee tweeted more than 7 a.m. that day, saying that the U.S. has 30,000 troops stationed in Taiwan. The Voice of America said that this should be the number of US troops stationed in Taiwan before the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China in 1979. Some netizens immediately pointed out Senator Corning’s clerical error. At present, this tweet has been deleted.
However, as soon as this tweet was published, it immediately detonated the Chinese Internet. The “Global Times” immediately issued a “sharp comment” saying that if this is true, immediately use the “Anti-Secession Law” to wipe out and expel US troops in Taiwan and seize Taiwan by war. The stationing of US troops in Taiwan is a “declaration of war.”
The “Huan Shi” sharp review also asked the US and Taiwan governments to immediately explain and publicly apologize to Senator Corning’s post, and threatened to say, “Otherwise, we believe that a full-scale Taiwan Strait war will break out quickly… once and for all. Solve the Taiwan issue.”
Many netizens left messages under Hu Xi’s oil pipeline account, saying, “Use force immediately, regardless of whether the news is true or false”; “Even if it’s a fake news, it should be taken as real and used as an excuse to take action against Taiwan”; “, “XX blows too much, I really believe it.”
This is not the first time the Global Times has clamored for a war. Most recently, in June this year, three U.S. senators arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport on a U.S. military transport plane C-17. The Global Times published a commentary saying that if a U.S. military plane takes off and landed directly in Taiwan, “the war in the Taiwan Strait will begin. “. But nothing happened afterwards. External comments believe that this has allowed the international community to see the ugly state of the CCP’s fighting wolves at home.
Scholar: Hu Xijin makes the outside world hate the Beijing authorities even more
Su Ziyun, director of the National Defense Strategy and Resources Research Institute of the National Defense Security Research Institute of Taiwan, said in an interview with Epoch Times, “Hu Xijin makes the outside world hate the Beijing authorities even more, and the Global Times is also helping Taiwan in international propaganda.”
He said that the U.S. Senator was just a statement, not an official official record. In fact, it is now confirmed to be a clerical error.
Taiwan media reported that the Taiwan military said it was “misinformation” in a low-key manner.
Su Ziyun said, “We don’t know how many active U.S. military personnel are in Taiwan. However, the Taiwanese media reported that the active air force of the American Association in Taiwan has proved that there are indeed U.S. active personnel in Taiwan. Of course, how many people are there. We don’t know.”
He made a fuss about Hu Xijin’s words and phrases about the US congressman. He said, “This is tantamount to using bricks to smash Beijing to the foot. From the previous collective leadership to the one-man party, this is the most important thing in Western democracies. The worrying part is that the decisions of war and peace are made by one person.”
Scholar: Hu Xijin puts Beijing into a strategic dilemma
Su Ziyun believes that “The Global Times’s cheer and jealousy show that all aspects of Beijing’s diplomacy, military, and international propaganda are messed up and are driving Beijing into a more isolated corner. This point should be seriously considered by Beijing.”
Beijing’s strategic objectives and strategic measures often go against each other. Su Ziyun said, “I personally think that this is unbelievable. It means that the deceased predecessors of the Communist Party in the early days would be so angry if they knew it in the grave. “
He said that after all, the Communist Party started by propaganda, but in the current situation, “The Chinese Communist Party appears to be a little at a loss, and it has been messed up. Only then will the three major systems of’August 17′ become an ineffective action today. Instead, it will force Beijing. Into the strategic dilemma.”
Today (August 17) is the anniversary of the Sino-US Joint Communiqué. Su Ziyun said that whether the party media clamored for war or the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued emotional accusations, the military suddenly announced that it would hold a military exercise across the sea. “My judgment is this. It is even more unfavorable for Beijing. Because it is true. The CCP threat theory.”
Su Ziyun said, especially for this military exercise, “it can be seen that it was a hasty decision, which symbolizes that the political stability within Beijing may go wrong.”
The Global Times began clamoring last year that if a US military plane enters Taiwan’s airspace is infringing on China’s airspace, then the Chinese military will use force and will also cross Taiwan’s airspace to shoot down the US plane, and so on. Su Ziyun said, “But this year I was directly beaten in the face. The 747 military transport plane in June landed directly in Taipei. Of course, Hu Xijin had no face.”
Scholar: Constantly threatening the CCP in Taiwan in jeopardy?
Regarding Hu Xijin’s clamor for launching the “Liberation of Taiwan” war again, Su Ziyun analyzed, “There are only two rational interpretations. One is that the Chinese Communist Party is now preferring to the left and not the right, and it would rather express its stance inward, regardless of the opinions of the outside world, so it will say the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Become an internal department;
“The second is that they took the opportunity to make this kind of smoke bombs. They talk about fighting today, and tomorrow, it makes Taiwan seem numb. In fact, a democratic country won’t.”
Su Ziyun explained that the CCP currently views a democratic country with its own authoritarian culture. “It is now in a mess of various departments. From the perspective of the history of human civilization, this kind of authoritarian system usually does not have a long lifespan.”
He said that in modern history, both the Nazis and the former Soviet Union looked strong but were strong in the outside world, because they were unable to correct their mistakes without the foundation of democracy.
Su Ziyun believes that Beijing is probably in danger, “especially the current economic situation can be said to be worse than in the past, hard landing is very difficult. That’s why these external moves are made to relieve some internal public opinion or the pressure of netizens.”
