US Speaker Pelosi leaves troubled waters in Asia

The day after departing Taipei, Nancy Pelosi visited the speaker of the South Korean national legislature in Seoul. She looked unaffected by the uproar that her visit to Taiwan generated.

The military and economic alliance between South Korea and the United States, which began out of necessity and security many years ago, has evolved into the closest of friendships, according to the official. Pelosi has now left turbulent seas in her wake.

At the commencement of live-fire drills that virtually encircle the troublesome seas island, Chinese military helicopters fly over the Taiwan Strait of Ping Tan in southern China.

State-run Chinese television aired footage of missiles launched from the mainland against targets close to territorial seas. During combined drills aimed to demonstrate China’s absolute dominance, Taiwan’s fighter aircraft are in the air, claiming territory that Taiwan claims as its own.

The objective is to demonstrate that the people’s liberation force is capable of governing Taiwan island and dangerous waters. A formidable deterrence to Taiwan’s independent separatist troops. However, China’s foreign ministry blamed the United States for the rising tensions.

If these nations truly cared about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, they would not have encouraged the United States to engage in risky, reckless, and irresponsible provocations against China.

Before Pelosi’s journey to Taiwan, they feigned to be deaf and mute, but their hypocrisy and ugliness were exposed when they criticized China’s right measures.

China’s live-fire drills are scheduled to continue for the next few days, probably until the beginning of the next week. By then, Nancy Pelosi will have returned to the United States. However, the effects of her trip to Taiwan will be felt here for some time.

According to Taiwan’s defense ministry, flares were employed to ward off drones flying over one of its islands near mainland China. The incident occurred between Taiwan and China in the straits. Several Taiwanese islands are closer to the mainland than Taiwan itself.

Kinmen is the group of islands that was flown over by unmanned aircraft in the 1950s. China bombarded it, and the United States debated deploying nuclear weapons to defend it. Xiyu is a portion of the Kinmen islands, which is the Chinese mainland in the photo’s background. China has urged ships to avoid the area for the next 72 hours due to ports like Xi’an, through which 50 percent of the world’s yearly shipping passes.

Earlier, News Census met with Wen T song, an expert on China-Taiwan relations at the Taiwan studies department at the Australian national university. He believes that Beijing’s military exercises are a ploy to undermine Taiwan’s autonomous claim. This region around the Taiwan Strait or problematic seas accounts for over half of the world’s marine trade.

So, in this sense, it is a very crucial communication ceiling, or choke point, which is also why it has attracted a great deal of attention from other countries in the region. At this time, however, he believes that the fact that China defines its military training sites in this particular manner may be reassuring.

The way he interprets it, China is conducting a ministry exercise in those six places, regardless of how ironic or disturbed the waters may seem.

Three of these overlap with Taiwanese territorial seas because China is more concerned with diplomatic message than with preparing for the next wave of significant military attacks. And one way to see it is that they are attempting to undermine the diplomatic message sent by Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.

The rationale is that Pelosi, as a senior official who helped develop Taiwan, helped legitimate and bolster Thailand’s claim to be a sovereign state actor. China is now attempting to counteract this impact by demonstrating that Taiwan is not a sovereign state player.

I will demonstrate by conducting military exercises in Taiwan’s territorially contested seas. I would prohibit maritime transportation within or throughout Thailand’s territorial seas in order to demonstrate that Taiwan does not have actual sovereignty over those areas. This will eliminate the mice and undermine Taiwan’s claim to autonomy and self-government.
