US ignores Chinese calls to end military aid to Taiwan

The United States is ignoring China's calls to end military aid to Taiwan, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

A spokesman for the US Department of Defense spoke at the briefing, where he made several statements regarding the future actions of the Pentagon in relation to Taiwan. If you do not go into the details of Kirby's speech, he said nothing new, repeating the same words that the United States is "concerned" about China's military provocations in Taiwan, Washington stands for world peace, and China is building up arms.

However, in the speech of the spokesman, it was clearly stated that the Pentagon intends to continue to provide assistance to Taiwan in "strengthening self-defense", that is, to continue the supply of weapons, ignoring China's calls. At the same time, Kirby declined to answer a question about the details of "support" for Taiwan. However, he also ignored the question asked about the probable presence on the island of American military instructors who train Taiwanese military personnel.

Everything else in Kirby's speech related to accusations of China, which, according to the Americans, is interfering with the establishment of peace not only in this particular region, but also in other regions around the world.

(...) we call on Beijing to be committed to a peaceful settlement

- said a spokesman for the US Department of Defense.

Earlier, Western media reported that the United States is training special units of the armed forces of Taiwan, deploying about two dozen military instructors from the Marine Corps and Special Operations Forces on the island. Washington denies the presence of an American military on the island.

It is not we (the Americans) who are "peaceful", they are the aggressive Chinese.

In fact, from a legal point of view, it looks approximately as if the United States began supplying arms to the Komi Republic, for example.

They need to unleash a war or create tension in order to trade in weapons. Naturally, money is the main thing for them. Now Pakistan will fight with Hindustan and also norms

[antivirus]

it may be that Taiwan will be immediately paired with Senkaku.
otherwise they will catch up with all 9 Avs and Yaps with Australian nuclear submarines.
everything needs to be done on time

Washington stands for world peace

By disarming the world in such a way that the military-industrial complex and the army remain only with the United States.

For some reason, after their speeches for peace, there is either a new war in the world, or another economic
chaos with their direct involvement.

As much as the mattresses are puffed up, but something suggests that sooner or later Taiwan will still be Chinese.

But what about the "right to self-determination"? Or is it different?

The concept of Taiwanese "self-determination" is heavily defiled by American interest, and therefore the right to "self-determination" is there, but there is no possibility of "self-determination."

With whom Taiwan should be friends, with the United States, China or reptilians, it is still up to the people of Taiwan to decide. And his choice does not depend on your opinion

And he is already Chinese. Most of the locals are against the declaration of independence. But they are against the CCP's rule on the island. After the defeat in the civil war, several million representatives of the anti-communist wing of the Kuomintang moved there. The descendants of these people make up a significant part of the island's population. Although it seems that the central government of the PRC promises Taiwan a level of autonomy, much higher than that of Hong Kong and Macau. To the extent that it will retain its own currency, political structure, a competitive multi-party system, the Taiwanese army, and the island's authorities will be able to independently purchase weapons abroad and join most international organizations.

Yes, that's understandable. In principle, you wrote the same thing, only in a more expanded form and under the status of a "confederate" device, which would suit both Taiwan and China, but does not meet the interests of the United States, which is why, in fact, the mattresses of this Taiwanese boat are being pumped.

Washington stands for world peace, while China is building up its armaments.

Washington is for peace, but holds the ax in its bosom.

If only in the bosom. Rather, playing with this ax. Moreover, blood drips from the ax and around the intestines, limbs and other guro.

I wonder how many hours it will take the PLA to capture Taiwan? As if the dimensions do not correspond at all ... The question is - why would China seize it by military means? A lot of high-tech semiconductor industries are concentrated in Taiwan. World significance. Here they will suffer an armed seizure - and what is the point? China needs an Anschluss ... Voluntary. And so that not a single leaf ... and the role of striped ears becomes clear. They do not "warn" China, they "incite" Taiwan ... China with Taiwan is much stronger than without it ... And the rulers of Taiwan from being pumped up with weapons may get dizzy ... Imagine themselves independent and independent ...

[Sergej1972]

I would not call the Taiwan authorities puppet. They enjoy real support from the island's population. And de facto, Taiwan is indeed pursuing an independent policy.

Hong Kong also considered itself very independent ... Taiwan can think what it wants, it is important what China thinks ...

[Sergej1972]

This is when Hong Kong considered itself independent? Until 1997, it was a British colony that did not have its own army, with a British governor, then it became a special administrative region of the PRC. And, by the way, he kept his currency, membership in international economic organizations. Its authorities have many times greater powers compared to ordinary provinces and cities under the central government of the PRC. It is interesting that, although the CPC is in power in the PRC, it does not operate on the territory of Hong Kong, but pursues its policy through pro-Beijing parties and movements friendly to it. That is, the leadership of the CPC takes into account the existing realities, the differences in the mentality of the inhabitants of Hong Kong and the mainland of the PRC.

United States ignores Chinese calls

It would be surprising if the Americans listened to China. Ignoring the proposals (appeals) of other countries is an American strong point, which, in the opinion of the Americans, shows who is "the boss of the house." They ignore the calls of China, ignore the calls of Russia, by all means heating up the confrontation and leading the situation to a possible military conflict on the territory of third countries. In the event of a large-scale war, we are accustomed to sit behind two oceans and at the same time weld on. You won't be able to sit out today. The rockets will get out.

US ignores Chinese calls to end military aid to Taiwan

Taiwan, as far as I know, considers itself an independent state. And the Taiwanese themselves are in no hurry to embrace the PRC.
In fact, yes, Taiwan is not a recognized state, but they trade with it, conduct a dip. relationship.
Why can't the US supply arms to Taiwan and why should the US listen to the PRC?

[Sergej1972]

The Taiwan authorities consider themselves the legitimate authority of all of China. They call themselves the Republic of China, and the PRC is considered the continental part of the Republic of China, "temporarily captured by the communist rebels." But there are also parties that express the interests of the supporters of independence. Proponents of independence are proposing that they abandon their claims to power in mainland China and create a separate state, such as Singapore. The Chinese authorities are ready to tolerate the power on the island of the anti-communists-Kuomintang and others who do not recognize the power of the CPC on the continent, but at the same time consider themselves part of China. But we are ready to start a military operation in case of victory of the supporters of the proclamation of independence
