The US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s cyclone visit to Taiwan caused dissatisfaction with China. The Beijing authorities announced that they would hold military exercises around Taiwan starting on Thursday (4th). Foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) countries issued a joint statement on Wednesday (3rd). , calling on China to resolve tensions across the Taiwan Strait peacefully.
Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan aroused China’s sensitive nerves. This move angered China. China has resorted to military and economic sanctions one following another, announcing that it will conduct military exercises in six waters around Taiwan from 12:00 on the 4th to 12:00 on the 7th in an attempt to block Taiwan. three days.
The Group of Seven (G7) issued a joint statement on Wednesday (3rd), calling on all parties to remain calm, maintain communication to avoid misunderstandings, and maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
The foreign ministers of the G7 countries mentioned in the statement that all countries are concerned regarding the threat action announced by the People’s Republic of China recently, especially the live-fire exercise and economic coercion. It is normal and routine for US congressmen to visit abroad, using a visit as an excuse to conduct aggressive military operations in the Taiwan Strait Action is not justified.
The statement pointed out that the increasing reaction of the People’s Republic of China has increased regional tension and instability. We call on the People’s Republic of China not to unilaterally change the regional status quo by force, and to resolve cross-strait differences peacefully. The one-China policy of all countries has not changed.
Analysts are paying close attention to the follow-up impact of the military exercise. Cargo ships may need to bypass the eastern waters of Taiwan instead of the Taiwan Strait, which will affect the shipments of oil and natural gas cargo ships to Taiwan and Japan this week. Supply chains have knock-on effects.
Shi Yinhong, a professor at the Department of International Politics at Renmin University of China, said on Wednesday that Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan has prompted a sharp freeze in U.S.-China relations, and that China may try to block Taiwan by sea and air and punish the United States economically. Taiwan is a major manufacturing location for wafer foundries, and using PLA Navy ships to prevent other ships from entering and leaving Taiwan would be very disruptive just to keep the US from getting chips for a week or two.
