U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was not afraid of China’s intimidation to visit Taiwan. Beijing, which was powerless to stop it, was furious and carried out military exercises to encircle Taiwan for several days, undermining cross-strait peace. At the same time, CCP officials publicly clamored for the reunification of Taiwan. Chinese Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian Recently, it has even more falsely claimed that since Taiwan is part of China, the use of non-peaceful means is not considered “aggression”. According to US media analysis, this suggests that Beijing may follow the example of Russia’s aggression once morest Ukraine and launch a “special military operation” once morest Taiwan.
In an exclusive interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) current affairs commentary program “7.30” on the 6th, Xiao Qian reiterated that “Taiwan is a part of China”, claiming that China prefers peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but also retains the option of “non-peaceful means”. Host Sarah Ferguson asked, does this mean that Beijing is ready for a full-scale military invasion at any time? Xiao Qian actually made nonsense, the word “invasion” is country to country, and since Taiwan is “a part of China”, the PLA’s takeover of Taiwan cannot be regarded as an “invasion”.
The US media “Newsweek” (Newsweek) pointed out that this shows that the Chinese government will describe the hypothetical attack on Taiwan in a different way. The word war is rarely used in acts of aggression, and the word “liberation” is used by Chinese hawks or critics when discussing Beijing’s plans for Taiwan.
When Xiao Qian participated in an event in Australia in August, he declared: “We are waiting for peaceful reunification, but we cannot rule out the possibility of using other means. We are ready to use all necessary means when necessary or when we have to. As for what the use of all means means, you You can use your imagination.” And Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye threatened to “re-educate” Taiwanese in August. Xiao Qian escorted him, saying that Lu Shaye was referring to the study of Chinese language and history. He said, “I don’t know how to use it. The word reeducation has very complex meanings.”
