China News Agency, Beijing, June 12 (Reporter Li Chun) Zhao Xiaozhuo, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, who is participating in the 19th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, said in a telephone interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 11th that the United States has a problem with Taiwan. The above says one thing does another, and many actions directly impact and challenge the one-China principle.

　　The Taiwan issue has been one of the key issues that have been the focus of previous Shangri-La Dialogues.

At the first plenary session of the conference, US Secretary of Defense Austin delivered a keynote speech, in which the China-related content unsurprisingly touched on the Taiwan issue.

　　At the briefing for Chinese and foreign media that day, Zhang Zhenzhong, deputy chief of staff of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, who was attending the meeting, pointed out that the Taiwan issue is the most likely issue to lead Sino-US relations to conflict and confrontation. Relationships are disruptive.

　　Zhao Xiaozhuo believes that Austin's mention of "the United States does not support Taiwan independence" is a relatively positive signal.

But when the United States talks about the Taiwan issue, it must be from the perspective of Taiwan and the United States.

The one-China policy of the United States recognizes Taiwan as a part of China in name, but increasingly treats Taiwan as a country in concrete operations.

　　Austin said in his speech that the United States will adhere to the one-China policy guided by the "Taiwan Relations Act", the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, and the "Six Assurances to Taiwan".

In fact, in recent years, the prefixes of the one-China policy of the United States have become longer and longer. The "Taiwan Relations Act" and "Six Assurances to Taiwan" are all unilaterally fabricated by the United States. China has not recognized it and firmly opposed it from the very beginning.

　　The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has previously clearly pointed out that the so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and "Six Assurances to Taiwan" are purely concocted by some forces in the United States, which run counter to the three Sino-US joint communiques. Overriding international obligations is illegal and void.

　　Zhang Zhenzhong pointed out that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, and the one-China principle is the political foundation of China-US relations. Successive US governments have made clear commitments to this, and President Biden also expressed his disapproval of "Taiwan independence".

However, the U.S. side is obviously inconsistent in its words and deeds, and it is still playing the "Taiwan card", which has seriously debunked and hollowed out the one-China policy.

　　"That's why we often say that the US says one thing and does another, and the US is increasingly 'fighting' on the Taiwan issue. Many actions directly impact and challenge the one-China principle." Zhao Xiaozhuo said.

　　Cao Yanzhong, a researcher at the Institute of War Studies at the Academy of Military Sciences, also told a reporter from China News Agency that the United States wants to use Taiwan as a pawn to arm Taiwan by selling arms to increase the bargaining chips of "Taiwan independence" elements against the mainland.

In fact, it is a practice of provoking confrontation and taking advantage of opportunities to take advantage of the growing strength of mainland China.
