the united states announced a $228 million arms sale to taiwan and sent military aircraft to fly through the taiwan strait. faced with the us arms sale to taiwan, there are many doubts on the island. what is the specific situation? in response to the us move, the pla released a heavyweight video. what signal did it send?

after entering 2024, the game between china and the united states has entered a white-hot stage. the united states, in conjunction with several allies, has not only suppressed china in many aspects such as diplomacy, politics, trade, and economy, but also "made a big fuss" on the taiwan issue, which is china's core interest. after the german warship sailed through the taiwan strait, it was "sandwiched" by the pla warships on both sides to leave the country. on september 17, the us p-8a anti-submarine patrol aircraft also sailed through the taiwan strait and hyped it up in a high-profile manner. at the same time, the biden administration of the united states announced that it would provide taiwan with a total of 228 million arms sales, mainly spare parts and technical support for fighter jets. obviously, the united states is instigating its allies to continue to interfere in the situation in the taiwan strait and openly support the "taiwan independence" elements on the island.

however, there are great doubts on the island about the us move. because not long ago, the us biden administration used the so-called "presidential appropriation power" for the first time to sell arms to taiwan for a total of us$345 million, which were finally shipped to the island. however, what the dpp authorities did not expect was that the us arms they had been thinking about were not only moldy and damp, but also had serious problems with the goods not being in the right quantity, and even the guns and ammunition were seriously expired. in response, the us pentagon only responded with a sentence "it may affect taiwan's confidence in continued us aid" and perfunctorily passed the matter over. tsai cheng-yuan, a former "legislator" of the kuomintang, admitted that the united states just treated taiwan as a "junk recycling station."

it is worth noting that the dpp authorities had previously announced that they would increase next year's budget to nt$3 trillion (about rmb 662.1 billion), of which the "defense budget" would be as high as nt$630 billion (about rmb 139 billion). kmt "legislator" lai shibao revealed that it was the united states that suggested lai ching-te increase taiwan's "defense budget" to 5% of gdp and to significantly increase the amount of us arms purchased. however, lai ching-te and his ilk contributed all the hard-earned money of the people on the island to the us military-industrial complex, but in return they got a pile of junk. this situation is really ironic.

as for the united states instigating its allies to interfere in the situation in the taiwan strait, the substantive effect is minimal. after the us anti-submarine aircraft broke into the taiwan strait, the pla eastern theater command fighter jets took off and dealt with it in accordance with the law. moreover, the us allied fleet that was gathering in japan was directly "encircled" from both sides by the naval and air forces participating in the joint military exercise between china and russia, as well as the pla shandong aircraft carrier formation passing through the bashi channel. faced with the "blocking" actions of china and russia, the us and western fleets did not dare to make any moves. only the japanese self-defense forces symbolically dispatched military aircraft. perhaps they were already panicked by this situation.

from these situations, we can see that the us military has lost its military advantage not only in the taiwan strait, but also in the entire asia-pacific waters, and cannot affect the pla's continued "encirclement of taiwan" exercises. recently, the chinese ministry of defense released a special documentary "quenching", which showed a j-20 fighter jet simulating the shooting down of a stealth fighter and cruising around taiwan. obviously, the pla has demonstrated its strong air combat capabilities to deter the united states, the west, and the "taiwan independence" elements on the island. lai qingde and his ilk colluded with the united states and other extraterritorial forces in an attempt to "use foreign powers to resist unification", and their final result will only be "cannon fodder"!
