U.S. President Joe Biden started his first Asian tour since taking office on the 19th, visiting South Korea and Japan one after another, which is considered to be aimed at China. In this regard, Akio Yaita, director of the Taipei branch of Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun”, posted on Facebook to analyze that China is most afraid of “a breakthrough on the Taiwan issue” in the joint statement after the summit between the United States and Japan, and is also worried about Biden’s whim after his visit to Japan. , take a half-day trip to Taiwan to dismantle “the one-China policy that China has advocated in the international community for many years.”
Akio Yaita mentioned: “U.S. President Biden’s visit to Asia today is for the layout of the international order after the Russian-Ukrainian war. This visit may have a profound impact on the future international situation.” And Biden will first meet in South Korea The new president, Yin Xiyue, “is mainly to strengthen the siege network against China.” He said: “The last president of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, was a pro-China faction. By the way, intimidate Jin Xiaopang next door, don’t act rashly.”
Akio Yaita said that Biden then went to Japan to visit Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to “discuss how to deal with China”, because for the United States, in the battleground of the Ukraine-Russian War, it has now grasped the absolute initiative, just like “playing games to fight monsters”. , The Russian monster is almost finished, and now, we have to start preparing for the fight with the biggest boss.”
Akio Yaita further stressed that dealing with China must be both military and economic. In terms of military, it is how to help defend Taiwan and prevent China’s expansion in the South China Sea; in terms of economy, how to cut off from China, Akio Yaita pointed out that if the world’s largest economy and the third largest economy really All-out team “That lethality is quite powerful.”
Akio Yaita pointed out that China is very nervous about this. First, it sent Foreign Minister Wang Yi to negotiate with Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng, and then sent Politburo member Yang Jiechi to negotiate with US National Advisor Sullivan. In the joint statement that followed, there was a breakthrough on the Taiwan issue; I was also worried about Biden’s whim after his visit to Japan, so he took half a day to go to Taipei for a walk.” If it comes true, the one-China policy that China has been advocating for many years in the international community will be instantly collapse.
Akio Yaita continued to point out that after Yang Jiechi and Sullivan held talks, China stated that “the Taiwan issue is the most important, sensitive, and core issue,” and threatened with harsh words that if the U.S. insisted on going its own way, the CCP would “take firm action,” and also Choking: “We do what we say.” He believes that in diplomacy, it is rare to be able to force China to say such harsh words in advance. The only thing that worries him is “Will Biden make the old problem of being weak and low-key again at a critical moment?”
The White House announced on April 27 that Biden will visit Asia for the first time since taking office in January 2021, visiting South Korea from May 20 to 22, and Japan from May 22 to 24; he will attend the US-South Korea summit in Seoul on the 21st. On the 23rd and 24th, he attended the U.S.-Japan summit and the Quad Leaders’ Summit in Tokyo, respectively. The outside world’s interpretation of this trip mainly emphasizes that the US government still sticks to its commitment to its Asia-Pacific allies in response to the rise of China.
