In 2018, Trump decided to set off a trade war with China, and wanted to make China "bow its head" by tariffs. For a time, some voices at home and abroad shouted "compromise for peace", but the reality was a slap in the face.
Instead of stopping, the United States has increased sanctions and technological containment, pressing step by step.
In fact, Russia has long suffered from the disintegration of the Soviet Union to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the surface is the internal cause of the outbreak, the reality behind the manipulation, always less the image of the United States.
Now it’s our turn to face the Taiwan issue, to jump the same pit again?Russia has taught us with blood that Americans can’t believe.
Disintegration of the Soviet Union: Listen to a word from the United States and lose the whole country
At the end of the 1980s, indeed, there was no peace within the Soviet Union, economic decline, ethnic contradictions, bureaucratic corruption were also growing, and many people felt that reform was the way out.
After Gorbachev came up, he pushed "new thinking" and wanted to develop some * and market economy. As a result, he was stolen by Yeltsin before he understood it.
Yeltsin then came to power with a "anti-system" popularity, shouting reform in his mouth, and in his heart was long overlooked by the American "democracy + markets for prosperity" scenario.
In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, the Southeast changed dramatically, and the United States painted a big cake in the chest, saying that as long as the Soviet Union gave up control of Eastern Europe, NATO would not expand, but would provide economic assistance to Russia.
Yeltsin believed that he led the breakup of the Soviet Union, fantasizing that the United States would pull him.The result?NATO not only did not stop, but instead expanded from Germany's east to the Baltic Sea, six times east, pressing Russia's security space with only one breath.
As for financial aid? The Americans only gave loans, with a bunch of privatization conditions attached. Russia became an "oligarchy paradise" overnight, with ordinary people queuing up to buy bread, and the country was in high debt.
If Yeltsin had not been taken by the United States, the Soviet Union would not have disintegrated so quickly.
History has given the answer, the "promises" in the mouth of the United States are only seductions, and once you hang on, the next is to remove the skin.
Russia suffered a big loss, but later Putin learned from the pain and took back the country before slowly stabilizing the situation. But the price was too miserable. The entire superpower was directly divided into 15 pieces.
Russia-Ukraine War: The United States has played another big game of chess, and the chess pieces are still other people's lives
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine were still brothers at first, energy cooperation and economic exchanges had come together, but the good prospects were not long, and the West did not intend to separate Ukraine from the beginning.
They viewed Ukraine as an anti-Russian bridgehead, slowly penetrating, from the media to education, from politics to the military, engaging in a color revolution, supporting the pro-Western camp, and letting the Russians kill themselves.
In 2014, the Ukraine crisis broke out, the pro-Russian president was ousted, and Crimea held a referendum to join Russia. The situation completely overturned.
The U.S. speaks peacefully, but continues to push for Ukraine to join NATO and even provide weapons and training.
At that time, the "Minsk Agreement" was put on the table, saying that it was to solve the Donbas issue, but former German Chancellor Merkel later admitted that the agreement was simply a delaying strategy to allow Ukraine time to arm.
The United States and the West relyed on this trick for seven years, until 2022, the United States brought Ukraine into NATO, which is equivalent to bringing the weapons directly to Moscow, while also stepping completely to the bottom line of Putin.
That is why Putin decided to take the initiative and the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out.
Trump once tried to mediate while in office, but with little effect. In other words, whether it is a Democratic Party or a Republican Party, the American script has not changed. It is using others as a shield and taking advantage of itself.
Ukraine has now become a battlefield, with people displaced and its economy collapsing, while American arms dealers are making a lot of money.
This war, which seems to be a matter of Russia and Ukraine, is in fact a geo-game dominated by the United States.Putin’s lesson tells us that as long as you have an illusion about the United States, it can ignite a big fire at your doorstep, burning your people, your money, your future.
Taiwan issue: no matter what the United States says, the unification of the motherland can only depend on us.
When it comes to Taiwan, it’s hard not to think of Ukraine.
The United States not only deploys military forces in Taiwan Province, but also frequently plays the "public opinion card", saying that "the people of Taiwan Province only support reunification if they want reunification". This sounds grandiose, but it is actually full of routines.
Taiwan is a part of China, this is a historical conclusion, and it is also an international consensus, and there is no time for foreigners to point their hands and feet.
On the one hand, the United States says it supports the "one China policy," but on the other hand, it continues to cheer on the "Taiwan independence" forces, doing everything possible to sell arms, visit, and hype issues.
Their goal is simple: to turn Taiwan into the “Ukraine” of East Asia, to curb China’s development process.
If we still fantasize about peace and peace on this issue, then we wait to be held by the nose and go to the cliff side without knowing.
Ben Nicholson, currently Rear Admiral of the Indo-Pacific Command of the U.S. military, publicly stated that whether to unify "should be decided by the people of Taiwan." If you put it this way, Taiwan is part of China. In addition to the 23 million people on the island, Taiwan's reunification needs to be decided by the 1.4 billion people on the mainland of China.
The position of the United States has become increasingly clear, that is, it is unwilling to see China united, and even more unwilling to see China strong.
But China’s unification is never a negotiation code.This is both the destination of national emotions and the bottom line of national strategy.We can wait but don’t let; we can communicate but don’t compromise.
History has told us that whether it was the disintegration of the Soviet Union or the war in Ukraine, those countries that listened to the promises of the United States eventually paid a heavy price. China cannot and will not make the same mistake.
conclusion
The experience of Russia has sounded the alarm clock for China, and the reality has proved that the American promise is only the opening of a single route, and behind it is the trap of a strategic game.
In the face of the Taiwan issue, China has to do not compromise, but firmly believe, and take this step of unification with its own strength.The real security is not that others promise not to set barriers to you, but that you have the ability to make the way through.
History will not repeat itself, but laws will always rhyme. Russia has paid the price of believing in the United States for us once, and next time, it will never be us.
