[Global Times Special Correspondent Zhang Ruo Li Yao] In recent years, the United States and the West have been hyping up the so-called "timetable for the PLA's attack on Taiwan" to exaggerate the tense atmosphere in the Taiwan Strait.

However, some Taiwanese political commentators recently disclosed that President Biden shocked the United States with a "plan to destroy Taiwan."

This statement immediately shocked the island.

No one dared to repost for many days

　　According to a report from Taiwan's Zhongshi Electronic News on the 21st, Cai Zhengyuan, a former "legislator" of the Kuomintang, shared a Twitter post by the famous Washington radio host Garland Nixon on Facebook that day.

Nixon said in the article that inside sources in the White House revealed that when asked what could be more disastrous than the "neoconservative Ukraine plan", Biden actually replied, "You will know when you see our plan to 'destroy Taiwan'." ".

　　As soon as the news came out, it caused waves on the island's social media.

Some people speculate that it may be Biden's slip of the tongue, because he has been making slips of speech since he took office, including suddenly shouting "the United States will defend Taiwan" during his visit to Japan, saying that his son "sacrificed" in Iraq in his speech, saying that he would "liberate Iran" when he was campaigning, and Missed the number of US states, etc.

However, some netizens on the island discovered that someone posted the above content a few days ago, and it seems that no media in Taiwan dared to forward it. Cai Zhengyuan was the first to respond.

Some commentators exclaimed that both sides of the strait need to be awakened and cannot be betrayed by politicians. "It is obvious that the Western world is trying every means to create the self-destruction of the Chinese nation"; some commenters said, "I never doubt that the United States will destroy Taiwan. plan, they have been unhappy with Taiwan’s semiconductors for a long time.”

　　The DPP authorities are very nervous.

Taiwan's "Executive President" Chen Jianren hurriedly clarified on the 22nd that "this is a false report" and claimed that since Tsai Ing-wen took office, Taiwan-US relations have reached the best in history. "Please don't believe in rumors."

Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" also quickly responded on the morning of the 22nd, saying that the source of the news was completely unverified. Look, it’s not true either.”

The spokesperson also attacked that some people on the island deliberately amplified the "suspicious" and "anti-American" theories, and by quoting sensational posts, they spread false information at the right time to match the mainland's "cognition" of Taiwan. "War" echoed each other, "in an attempt to erode the confidence of the Taiwanese people in the United States, and thus undermine the Taiwan-US partnership."

The American Institute in Taiwan emphasized that afternoon that Biden had personally voted for the "Taiwan Relations Act" and that the United States' commitment to Taiwan was "rock solid."

Public Opinion Angry at Taiwan Authorities' Response

　　Yuan Juzheng, a professor of the Department of Philosophy at National Taiwan University, said angrily on the 22nd that he had never seen Taiwan being "played like this". This news should make headlines every day. Today it is said that Taiwan will be destroyed, can such words be blurted out? Can you not be angry with such words?" He also said, "He actually said that he would destroy Taiwan with 23 million people. Taiwanese people need to wake up. How can an American president It can destroy Taiwan, how can you say such a thing, you have to be responsible.”

　　After hearing the response from the Taiwan authorities, it made many netizens on the island even more suspicious.

Some commentators questioned that after the news came out, it was not the Taipei Office in the United States that was verified, but Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" came out to clarify, "Has the verification been carried out?" There are also many people who do not trust Tsai Ing-wen's authorities to refute it. Got slapped in the face."

Zhao Shaokang, chairman of "China Canton", said on the 22nd that Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" did not even check the verification, and scolded the internal public, "no style at all."

The "suspicious beauty" mentality is not created out of thin air

　　In fact, no matter whether this revelation is true or not, the fierce reaction on the island reveals that the people's distrust of the United States is increasing day by day, which is not unrelated to the various "destroying Taiwan" remarks made by the United States in the past.

Zhang Wensheng, deputy dean of the Taiwan Institute of Xiamen University, said in an interview with a reporter from the "Global Times" on the 22nd that although the specific revelations of Biden's words cannot be confirmed now, the US "destruction of Taiwan" and Taiwan's "suspicion of the United States" are both relevant. Signs are not created out of thin air.

In fact, many people on the island think that the Americans themselves once said "explode TSMC first"-at the end of 2021, an article by the U.S. Army War College mentioned that Taiwan should adopt a "scorched earth strategy" when facing the People's Liberation Army. Blow up TSMC if necessary.

The starting point of the proposal is that "valuable assets should not fall into the hands of the enemy and avoid contributing to the opponent's power."

Taiwan's "Economic Daily" commented at the time that this was an imagination of an extreme situation, indicating that the proposer did not understand the mainland well enough, but this kind of thinking fully reflected the worries of the United States and fully exposed the ruthlessness of the United States in treating the Taiwanese people as pawns and cannon fodder, as well as other They have all-out evil intentions in plotting to "use Taiwan to control China."

　　Zhang Wensheng said that Taiwan people's "suspicion of the United States" has existed since the withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan.

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Uzbekistan conflict last year, the people on the island have become more and more "suspicious of the United States" and the DPP authorities have become quite anxious.

Lai Qingde, chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, once claimed that the "suspicion of the United States" must not become a social consensus, otherwise it will be very detrimental to Taiwan.

In this regard, China Times Electronic News once published an editorial sarcastically saying that as soon as Lai Qingde's words were thrown out, "suspicion of the United States became anti-American for a while, as if to protect Taiwan, one should not be suspicious of the United States. Doubt of the United States is anti-protection of Taiwan, that is, "pro-China selling" Taiwan'", and even labeled those who doubted them political enemies.

But the betrayal of Taiwan by the United States can be said to be "stained with bad records". How can there be any trust at all?

　　Regarding the strong reaction of public opinion on the island, Zhang Wensheng believes that this reflects that most people in Taiwan, and even some people in the green camp, have a different idea from that of the United States. On the front line, it is the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives; and the US’s position is to "help defend" Taiwan, Taiwan should stand on the front line by itself, the US may pay for weapons, but it will not die for the Taiwanese .

"Taiwanese people's distrust of the United States is on the rise, and they are unwilling to be a victim of the United States and a pawn in the United States' containment of China."

　　The Hong Kong China Review News Agency stated on the 22nd that whether it was Biden's slip of the tongue or the truth in his heart, the answer lies in the actions of the United States.

Just take arms sales as an example. The United States wants to sell Taiwan's M136 "Volcano" mine-laying system, which is to make Taiwan prepare for the game of burning jade and stone.

The United States has threatened to move TSMC away, and will blow it up if it fails to move away. This is of course a "plan to destroy Taiwan."

There is no doubt that the United States has a bigger "plan to destroy Taiwan."

The article said that the DPP authorities have been obedient to the United States over the years and have become an accomplice of the United States' "plan to destroy Taiwan."

As for "how Taiwan can save itself", the most important thing is to wake up, dare to say "no" to the United States, and not to use the United States as a tool to consume the mainland.

The mainland will never agree to Washington's "plan to destroy Taiwan", and will inevitably counterattack strongly and respond resolutely.
