Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the so-called "ban on travel" the "Travel in Taiwan" draft law between the United States and Taiwan. In response, Jia Qingguo, dean of Peking University's Institute of International Relations, said in an interview that if the bill eventually passes the Senate's approval and the U.S. President enters into force, it will have a significant impact. This will not only make the situation in the Taiwan Strait even more tense but also mean the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States The political foundation is not here. However, Jia Qingguo also predicted that the bill is unlikely to pass.
According to a report released by Hong Kong Zhongping News Agency on the 13th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "Taiwan Travel Law" on the 10th to encourage "mutual visits by officials at all levels in the United States and Taiwan." All along, based on the one-China policy and the principles established in the three Sino-U.S. Joint communiques, the United States has been restricting the exchanges between officials from the U.S. and Taiwan. However, once the bill is passed, it will "lift" the U.S.-Taiwan officials.
So far, the bill is still waiting for the U.S. Senate to sign and enter into force. Then the possibility of the bill eventually passed? If passed, what will happen? Jia Qingguo, dean of the Institute of International Relations at Peking University, said the bill is unlikely to pass the bill and will not have a substantive impact on the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
But he also believes that "this issue is not a minor problem."
Jia Qingguo said that if U.S. officials can freely visit Taiwan, it means that the resumption of official relations between the United States and Taiwan means that the political basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States does not exist. This will have a huge impact on the Sino-U.S. Relations. If the bill is signed, confrontation will inevitably occur between China and the United States, and even result in the severance of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
However, Jia Qingguo also said at the same time that the United States also does not want this to happen. In his view, the United States has always had different opinions on many issues at home. This is especially true on the issue of Taiwan. Some people advocate that "lifting the ban" on the exchange of visits by U.S. and Taiwan officials is not new anymore.
It is only "passing the bill that reflects the tightening tougher voice on U.S. policy toward China." Jia Qingguo said that if the bill is passed, the situation in the Taiwan Strait will become even more tense. Tsai Ing-wen authorities will encourage "Taiwan's independence" to do something before Dare to do this may exacerbate tensions across the Strait.
Finally, he said that the passage of the "Taiwan Travel Law" by the U.S. House of Representatives has little effect on Taiwan's mainland policy. After all, the United States is far away from Taiwan and Taiwan is very close to the mainland. The comparison of the strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has undergone fundamental changes. There is no alternative for "Taiwan's independence." Therefore, Tsai Ing-wen's policy will not have much change. "Because there is no good choice, engaging in independence means war."
In the media's opinion, the "Taiwan Travel Law" or help mainland China accelerate the reunification of the two shores. Jia Qingguo believes that there will be no use of force in the Mainland if Taiwan does not announce "independence", there is no external presence and no atomic bomb. Unless we encounter the above three situations, according to the "Anti-Secession Law," Taiwan has not been separated from China in the sense of sovereignty. Therefore, cross-Strait affairs are still the continuation of the past civil war. Therefore, from the perspective of the Chinese government, China hopes to achieve peace through peaceful means. To solve the Taiwan issue.
Foreign Affairs Spokesman Lu Kang's response to the so-called draft of the so-called Taiwan Travel Law passed by the U.S. House of Representatives earlier said that the bill seriously violated the one-China policy and the principles established in the three Sino-U.S. Joint communiques and interfered in China's internal affairs. China strongly opposes this and urges the United States to abide by the principles of the one China policy and the three Sino-U.S. Joint communiques, handle the Taiwan issue prudently, refrain from any official contacts and contacts with Taiwan, and should not send any wrong signals to the "Taiwan's independence" forces. They hope The United States can take concrete actions to safeguard the overall situation of Sino-U.S. Relations and the cooperation between the two parties in international affairs.
