Many major events have happened internationally recently. The first one: According to the Global Times, former Australian Prime Minister Keating criticized former US House Speaker Pelosi for the Taiwan issue. According to Australia's "Dialogue" news website, former Australian Prime Minister Keating said in an interview that "Taiwan belongs to China". This common sense statement actually caused dissatisfaction among Pelosi, who declared Keating's remarks "stupid". In response, Keating recently issued a statement to refute, accusing Pelosi of "reckless and willful" in her 2022 visit to Taiwan, which almost led to a military confrontation between the United States and China.
Now, the retired Pelosi is unwilling to be lonely and has started to stir up trouble on the Taiwan issue and question the one-China principle. It must be said that former Australian Prime Minister Keating is quite sober and can truly realize that the Taiwan region belongs to China and is an inseparable part of China's territory. China will never lose Taiwan. On the contrary, Pelosi is a typical speculative politician. For her own selfish interests, she openly fled to Taiwan regardless of opposition from China and the United States. As of today, she is still constantly provoking the situation in the Taiwan Strait, which is completely unreasonable. Nowadays, it is common for PLA military aircraft and ships to circle Taiwan. The latest news is that the PLA has "surrounded" Taiwan Island on a large scale and entered the airspace of the north, central, southwest, southeast and east of Taiwan Island.
In a sense, this debate reflects an important issue in current international politics: how to balance national interests and international relations. Countries have different positions and attitudes on the Taiwan issue, especially in the game between China and the United States. More countries have chosen to respond cautiously, but the fact that "Taiwan belongs to China" cannot be changed! Although Keating's position is straightforward, it contains deep thoughts on the future direction of Australia's diplomacy.
