Taiwan DPP’s Tsai turns to US master for help out of fear of catastrophic consequences



Taiwan's regional leader Tsai Ing-wen on Tuesday published an article, entitled "Taiwan and the Fight for Democracy", in Foreign Affairs Magazine, claiming that "If Taiwan were to fall, the consequences would be catastrophic for regional peace and the democratic alliance system." It seems that the Tsai authorities are really scared, anticipating that their secessionist attempt has gone to a virtual dead end. They, as an anti-China outpost of US' Indo-Pacific Strategy will sooner or later be wiped out by the Chinese mainland, but they have a severe lack of confidence that the US and its allies will fully defend the island. In this context, Tsai penned the article to underline the current peril, calling on the US and its allies to strengthen their commitment to the Taiwan island and to deter the Chinese mainland.

Tsai repeatedly used the word "democracy" in the article, like a cultist regarding what she called "democracy" as a talisman. However, everyone can see that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has hijacked Taiwan's democracy and has turned it into an extreme ideology to confront the Chinese mainland. It is clear to all that Taiwan has bitten off more than it can chew. There was a period of peaceful cooperation between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan island during which both sides sought shared development. But it was ruined by the DPP, which is now quenching thirst with poison. Taiwan's practices of acting as a strategic outpost against China in exchange for US' protection is the craziest gamble in the history of international politics.

Now they are also in the fear of losing everything. In an interview with Australia's ABC News on Monday, Joseph Wu, leader of the external affairs of the Taiwan island, said the island is preparing for war with the Chinese mainland, drawing on Australia for help. And Tsai, in Foreign Affairs magazine warns Taiwan's "fall" will be catastrophic for the US and its allies. Their fate is bound to be a catastrophe when they attempt to separate Taiwan from the China. The further the DPP authorities go down the path in colluding with external forces, the closer they move to their tomb.

There is no force in the world whose will to "defend Taiwan" is stronger than China's will to fight against secession and achieve reunification. To be precise, they are completely incomparable. China dares to have a life-and-death fight against any force that hinders our reunification, but no force dares or is willing to fight to the death against the world's second largest economy, as well as a nuclear power, in order to prevent China's reunification.

Tsai authorities understand this point. When they never say uncle, they are quietly shivering, and they will increasingly turn to their masters for help.

US Secretly Training Taiwanese Armed Forces Since 2020

US special operations forces and marines have been secretly training Taiwanese troops since 2020, before Biden became US President.

The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials, reported on Thursday that about two dozen US service members had been training Taiwan’s ground and maritime forces “for at least a year,” a period during which China has stepped up military activities over Taiwan.

The Reuters News Agency also reported two sources familiar with the issue saying the trainers had been rotating into Taiwan on a temporary basis.

The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to say how long the training had been going on but suggested it started before Joe Biden took office as President in January.

Taiwan’s Defence Ministry told Reuters “all military exchanges are carried out in accordance with annual plans”.

The Pentagon did not confirm nor deny the report. Spokesman John Supple said US support for Taiwan’s military is gauged on its defence needs.

Last November, Taiwan’s Naval Command said that US troops had arrived there to train Taiwan marines and special forces in small-boat and amphibious operations.

The US maintains an ambiguous commitment to defend Taiwan and supplies it with military equipment and weapons, including missiles and fighter jets.

A video released last year and featured in Taiwan media showed US troops taking part in an exercise on the island dubbed “Balance Tamper”.

Taiwan is now able to tracked foreign aircraft intrusions in its air defence zone without having to scramble its fighters jets.

On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden said that he had spoken to Chinese President Xi Jinping about Taiwan.

Asked by a reporter about “China’s provocation over Taiwan”, Biden said on Tuesday that he and Xi had discussed the issue.

Most analysts say US military’s warnings of China's rising threat to Taiwan reflect the deterioration in US-China relations rather than any real change in China's Taiwan stance.

In the meantime, Taiwan is preparing for war with China:

1. In January 2020, Taiwan started overhauling its conscription in order to boost its armed forces to face a more assertive China.

2. Also in January 2020, US Special Forces were deployed in Taiwan.

3. In October 2020, Taiwan began building its first domestically-produced submarines. This new military production programme will see the island build eight new diesel-powered attack submarines.

4. Purchase of Anti-aircraft weapons systems, radar detection systems, fighter jets and missiles. This is big money for the US Military Industrial Complex.

5. President Tsai is on the charm offensive to master as much military, political and diplomatic supports from the US, Japan, Australia and India.


Conclusion

The more Taiwan is creating a scene for herself, the more she is going to get hurt. Collaborating with a former enemy, who had inflicted untold sufferings upon the Chinese people, is not only a heinous crime but also a traitor of the Chinese people.

China should just continue rattling their sabre and let that Taiwanese Shit (Tsai) women lose her sleep. When ordinary Taiwanese lives are always on tenterhooks, that is good enough to shake their mental resolve.

China always play the long game. Chinese thinking has always been that even waiting ten years for revenge is never late. The Japs know this very well and are afraid of Chinese revenge. Even waiting 150 years for the return of Hong Kong does nothing to unfaze the Chinese.

China must keep up the pressure to break the Taiwanese and bring them to their knees.

China should create a Foreign Interference Act to prevent and stop Japan, USA and others from Interfering and influencing Taiwan, Hongkong, Xinjiang, Tibet or any other Chinese territories Internal Affairs.

China can buy a copy of Singapore's FICA and translates it into Chinese and make some adjustments, amendments, re-alignments, and modifications to it. And calls it China Foreign Interference and Influence Act or CIIA.

Excellent idea LIPS.

With such an act, China can arrest all the Americans in Taiwan, including the Japanese Taiwanese.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

The Chinese have proven many times how to defeat the Americans in Korea and Vietnam. The pride of American Forces, the First Division of the Marine Corp, was decimated by the PLAV and only a few managed to break through the encirclement set up by the Chinese.

Watch the American documentary on the Battle of Chosin or the current hot movie, Changjin Hu (Lake), and see how pathetic and demoralised were the American soldiers, just ran and ran to avoid being massacred by the peasant voluntary Chinese soldiers with antique rifles and hand grenades.

They still got the cheek to want to train the Taiwanese to fight the Chinese?
What a joke. They could not even defend themselves against the ill equipped PLAV.

The deposed Afghanistan army was a perfect example of how well trained they were by the USA. But when it comes to practical usage in actual war scenario, they ran away with tails between their legs. They were touted to be good, but only on paper. In other words all nothing but paper generals and troops.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

After the brutal and embarrassing defeat in Korea, General MacArthur had this advice to the world. Anyone thinking of fighting the Chinese soldiers must be mad.

The latest war movie produced by China, The Battle of Changjin Lake, would be bought by all the armies of the world and be a compulsory training material, a movie to watch in conventional warfare. It is a must have in all military training schools.
It is a military classic in the deployment of soldiers in battle.

Better For Taiwan Province To Surrender Than To Resist Re-Unification With Motherland China

Recently, many US sailors have been injured after a US nuclear submarine hit an "unknown object" while submerged in waters around the South China Sea.

It was reported that at least 15 sailors had been injuried when the USS Connecticut collided with an object last Saturday.

The US Navy said that it was unclear what had caused the collision.

This shows that the US Navy is now a declining and deteriorating force. So many accidents and incidents have happened every year and so many US military personnel injured.

The US Military has fought a war with Taliban's inferior militias in Afghanistan for 20 years and still lost so miserably and shamefully.

How can US military be able to help Taiwan defend against China's People's Liberation Armed Forces?

The Chinese military had helped North Korea and North Vietnam to defeat the US military mighty war machine without any air support.

Now that the PLA has superior military aircrafts and long-range missiles to get involved in any battle, what are the chances that the US will be able to help Taiwan's soft soldiers win against the PLA? Zero. Zilch!

The re-unification of Taiwan with Motherland China is a foregone conclusion. It is better for the Taiwan Province leadership to happily surrender without a fight, than to make the people of Taiwan suffer heavy losses and casualties.

A peaceful and happy reunion between Taiwan and the Motherland would usher in Prosperity, Wealth and Happiness for everyone. It's a win-win formula that will do well for the legacies of both Taiwan's and China's present leaderships.

Long Live The Chinese Wisdom!
Long Live The Chinese Civilisation!

P/S: China must enact a foreign Interference and influence law, like Singapore, in order to deter, prevent, stop and remedy any foreign Interference and/or influence in any Chinese territories, such as Taiwan, Tibet, Hongkong, Xinjiang or any other part of China.

What is reported may not be what actually happened. Saving face is very important here. Such a sophisticated piece of military hardware and yet unable to figure out what they hit? How do they differentiate friend from foe on the spur of the moment in times of war? Or are they just going back to invent something sinister perhaps? What investigation they conduct is not going to be available to outsiders for sure, and they can say anything they want.

Remember the ROKS Cheonan sinking incident? North Korea was blamed, but many believe it was a false flag operation.

Collision of a nuclear-powered submarine in the S. China Sea is a serious accident, posing threat to regional security, including a nuclear leak threat. The US side must release full details of the incident and make credible commitment that similar accident won’t happen again.

"Taiwan does not seek military confrontation but will defend its freedom," President Tsai says.

That is a double-talk. That statement means though she does not want a military conflict with China, she is adamantly seeking a political confrontation irrespective of whether there will be a military confrontation or not.

When freedom is there to defend? Freedom to do what? Free to be a traitor of the Chinese people? Free to align with the Americans and the Japanese, our common enemies, to go against China's national interests and sovereignty?

US’ Revelation of Troops in Taiwan Will Hasten Cross-Straits War - Beijing

Both the Pentagon and Taipei declined to comment on The Wall Street Journal's Thursday report that about two dozen members of US special operations and support troops were "secretly operating in Taiwan to train military forces there" for at least a year. But since the US has exposed the news through anonymous officials, it has taken a step forward to undermine, from covertly to semi-overtly, the key conditions for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and US.

The US dispatching military personnel to Taiwan is a very severe matter. The US, out of the need for providing after-sales training to Taiwan's military forces, had also sent military personnel to the island in the past, but it did so quietly. The US now attempts to send a strong signal to China by semi-publicizing such operations.

The US wants to get on China's nerves - a consistent tactic of Washington. China must respond to the US' new provocations to make both Washington and Taiwan fully realize the severity of their collusion. Otherwise, in the next step, US military staff may show up in Taiwan island, publicly wearing uniforms and their number may increase from dozens to hundreds or even more to form a de facto US garrison in the island. Beijing must let them know they are playing with fire to provoke a war and the consequences their acts will bring are unbearable to both the US and Taiwan.

Any act to strengthen the US-Taiwan collusion will further reinforce China's resolve to realize reunification by force. It will also accelerate overall preparations for military actions and lead the critical moment to come earlier.

China must resolutely define the deployment of US troops in Taiwan as an "invasion." China has the right to carry out military strikes against them at any time. Beijing will not make any promises over their safety. Once a war breaks out in the Taiwan Straits, those US military personnel will be the first to be eliminated. Through such a declaration, Beijing must make Washington understand that it is playing a dangerous game that is destined to draw fire onto itself and it is risking the lives of young US soldiers.

China has the initiative to decide the timetable of when to take military strikes and will make overall decisions. Domestic cohesion and the public's high trust in the country are of critical importance. China must make the US and Taiwan island have a deep sense of crisis for the future and let them understand the rhythm of the cross-Straits situation is not decided by their plot. Chinese people won't dance to their tune but will crush their tricks with strategic aggressiveness.

The struggle across the Taiwan Straits is more about a result. that the island will finally return to the embrace of the motherland. Both the US and Democratic Progressive Party authorities have had an increasing sense of urgency. This is determined jointly by the mainland's strength and will.

China is a nuclear power. The absolute military advantage that China has formed over Taiwan is sufficient to enable the former to take over the latter in one strike. If the US military participates in the war, it will be severely hit by the PLA and suffer unbearable losses.

The US wants to strengthen Taiwan island's self-defense capabilities and increase its confidence in resisting the PLA through training the island's military forces. It's only wishful thinking. The US military had fully equipped and trained the Afghan government forces, but the army they built couldn't withstand even a single blow.

The secessionist authority in Taiwan overestimated itself, claiming to act as an outpost of the US to contain the mainland. But once the PLA launches a general offensive against the authorities on the other side of the Taiwan Straits, or even it issues an ultimatum before launching the attack, the world will see how weak and coward the Taiwan secessionists are.
