What is Washington's road map in East Asia?
Last Wednesday, US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy met with Tsai Ing-wen and Taiwanese officials in California, a historic meeting that had previously drawn warnings from China.
NOURNEWS - The recent days of Beijing-Washington relations witnessed a new tension and the Chinese government considered the meeting of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives with the President of Taiwan as a provocative act and a violation of the "One China" policy and condemned it.
Last Wednesday, US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy met with Tsai Ing-wen and Taiwanese officials in California, a historic meeting that had previously drawn warnings from China.
The closed-door meeting makes McCarthy the highest-ranking official to meet with the president of Taiwan on American soil since the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and China in 1979.
McCarthy called Tsai a "great friend of America" and added, "I am optimistic that we will continue to find ways for the American and Taiwanese people to work together to promote economic freedom, democracy, peace and stability."
The fact of the matter is that Washington's general policy of creating chronic strategic crises in East Asia (Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong, the China Sea and the Korean Peninsula) is not primarily aimed at the role of parties in the United States.
to describe precisely; Democrats and Republicans consider the creation of permanent crises in the peripheral environment of Beijing as one of the principles and strategies of their foreign policy.
After the Ukraine war, the Chinese clearly understood the fact that American conspiracies against Beijing do not remain only at the level of deterrence (at the level of potential crises) and may extend to the level of action and operations.
The recent meeting between McCarthy and senior Taiwanese officials took place while the former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, had already visited Taiwan.
On the other hand; The conclusion of the "Akos" security agreement shows that the "expansion of interventionism in East Asia" has become a macro policy among the members of the North Atlantic Treaty, just like the "expansion of NATO".
The Chinese authorities continue to condemn the conclusion of the AUKUS agreement between the three countries of Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, and evaluate and analyze it as an objective example of the expansionism of Washington and its allies in absolute confrontation with Beijing.
The intensification of American and even some European actors' interventionism in East Asia, especially in Taiwan, is not an issue that Beijing will simply ignore and will certainly react to it in various ways.
Although some theorists and analysts in the field of international relations believe in the formation of an atmosphere similar to the Cold War between America and China, the type of movements and the possibility of their transformation into uncontrollable crises show that such a description cannot be comprehensive!
During the Cold War, the management of controlled crises had originality and relevance, but based on what American strategists have repeatedly acknowledged, Washington has now largely lost the power of future research on international crises and measuring the power of reaction of rival actors.
The way the American troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the dangerous and failed calculations of the White House in Ukraine, represent this absolute truth.
