China News Agency, Beijing, August 12 (Reporter Lu Mei) Regarding the recent visit to Taiwan by U.S. Minister of Health and Human Services Azar, a number of well-known mainland scholars were interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency on the 12th and pointed out that the United States has used Taiwan to do something to China. Pressure will not only hurt Sino-US relations, but will also put Taiwan in a more dangerous situation.

  Teng Jianqun, director of the American Research Institute of the China Institute of International Studies, pointed out that Azhar's visit to Taiwan is yet another act of provocation by the United States against mainland China. The United States does not abide by the one-China principle and violates the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, causing profound damage to Sino-US relations. In recent years, the United States has undergone major changes in its perception of China, that is, it is anxious about China's development. The US government is very clear that the Taiwan issue directly involves China's core interests and is also the most sensitive issue in Sino-US relations. Increasing the efforts to disrupt the Taiwan issue is part of the overall strategy of exerting pressure on the Chinese mainland. The purpose is obviously to anger the Chinese mainland to alleviate a series of problems caused by unfavorable domestic epidemic control, unfavorable election conditions, and economic downturn in the United States. pressure.

  Teng Jianqun said that the United States only regards Taiwan as a lever to leverage Sino-US relations and exert pressure on the Chinese mainland. The United States allows Taiwan to contribute its money and power, and once a conflict occurs, it will let Taiwan rush to the front as cannon fodder. It is foreseeable that before the general election, the United States will create various contradictions and frictions with China and provoke incidents. China will not dance with the United States, but it will not let the United States do anything wrong.

  Li Peng, dean of the Taiwan Research Institute of Xiamen University, pointed out that Azhar’s visit to Taiwan took place under the background of certain American politicians who continued to undermine Sino-US relations and the US presidential election entered the final three months of the election. In an attempt to provoke a greater confrontation between China and the United States through the Taiwan issue, to seek political and electoral interests. The DPP authorities are well aware of the American attempts. On the one hand, they dare not refuse, and they bow down in front of the Americans and are willing to be "chess pieces". It is really sad. On the other hand, the DPP authorities are also trying to deceive the people on the island by hyping Azza’s visit to Taiwan, creating the illusion of a "breakthrough" in US-Taiwan relations, and emboldening themselves to engage in "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.

  Li Peng believes that cooperating with the US's actions to deteriorate Sino-US relations and cross-strait relations will only put Taiwan in greater danger. In the event of a crisis in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan will definitely be the first to be affected. The United States has never taken into consideration the interests and welfare of the people of Taiwan. If the DPP authorities do not rein in the precipice, they will eventually reap the consequences.

  The deputy secretary-general of the National Taiwan Studies Association pointed out sternly that the United States played the "Taiwan card" to contain China and deliberately promote U.S.-Taiwan relations, but facts have proved that the U.S. has never regarded Taiwan as a true partner, only serving the U.S.'s own interests and setting Taiwan’s Safety is in desperation. The DPP authorities actively cater to the United States. In fact, Taiwan does not get any "benefits"-it wants to be "protected" by the United States, but it continues to be used as a "cash machine" to purchase American weapons; it wants to sign a free trade agreement with the United States In order to promote its own economic development, the United States did not respond. Instead, it kept asking Taiwan to open up imports of U.S. cattle and U.S. pigs.

  Grim believes that the Taiwan authorities cater to the US "Indo-Pacific strategy" and will not hesitate to stimulate and provoke the mainland at the cost of causing tension and turbulence in the Taiwan Strait. Such a situation will only affect investors' confidence in Taiwan, which in turn will affect Taiwan’s economic development prospects, and will also sacrifice the interests and well-being of the Taiwan people. The Taiwan authorities' farce of "seeking independence by the epidemic" can be stopped. (Finish)
