Myanmar coup hurts Indo-Pacific strategy
One of the major methods of the "Indo-Pacific strategy" proposed by the Trump administration in the United States is to call on the world to get rid of its dependence on the mainland Chinese market and to use the Southeast Asian market as an alternative, as one of the ways to "dead" the CCP. Southeast Asia, excluding India, has a population of more than 600 million, which is enough to support a considerable market. If India can wholeheartedly cooperate with the United States, then the addition of this South Asian country and the Indo-Pacific market that excludes the CCP will be more influential. The CCP continues to control Southeast Asian countries, including the recent coup in Myanmar, and it is not ruled out that it is exporting chaos and messing up the Southeast Asian market, making it impossible for the West to get rid of dependence on the CCP market in the Indo-Pacific strategy.
Recently, there is news that the CCP is building a "missile base" in Guangxi province close to Vietnam. This has aroused the vigilance of the Vietnamese government and announced that it will "verify" to see if this missile base really exists. Vietnam and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea The same, the possibility of potential conflicts with the CCP.

Pompeo CPAC speech
Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo used to promote the Indo-Pacific strategy, and he is also one of the few Western politicians who are actively anti-communist. On February 27, he delivered a speech at the American conservative CPAC summit, again exposing and criticizing the abuses of the CCP and the Biden administration.
Pompeo said that the Paris climate agreement was a joke. When Biden rejoined the agreement, Xi Jinping laughed all the time because the Americans lost. He also reiterated the Trump administration’s “America First” policy. This policy is correct. The first policy of the United States guarantees the freedom of the United States. When the United States is fearless, courageous, and powerful, the whole world will benefit.
The U.S. media generally predicts that Pompeo is one of the potential candidates for the 2024 president, but it does not rule out that Pompeo will cooperate with Trump and continue to march.

Trump’s comeback is brewing big moves
Trump will give a speech at CPAC on February 28, and he may mention many topics that people care about, such as how he will come back, his future political roadmap, and another attack on Biden's seizure of power in 2020, and so on.
At present, Trump is actively preparing for the next political action. He is planning to establish a "super fundraising committee" with no fundraising limit. At present, Trump's "Save America" action committee can only raise limited political funds. This also shows Trump's ambitions.

How did Taiwan cast the shadow of "armed reunification"?
"Taiwan" has always been regarded as one of Xi Jinping's goals for his great cause, and there have been more and more discussions among various parties recently. In particular, a Stanford scholar revealed that the Communist generals told her that Xi Jinping might want to use force against Taiwan in the next one or two years. The Australian "China Affairs" magazine also mentioned that Xi Jinping is determined to "solve" the Taiwan issue in his generation.
Recently, some friends have discussed with me whether Xi Jinping really intends to "army reunification," and it may be more difficult to rely on Taiwan to block the CCP’s offensive. It requires the assistance of international military forces to be more sure. The US's involvement is very important.
During the Trump administration, the CCP’s “armed reunification” may be regarded as a joke. Now that Biden is in power, his Taiwan strategy is still not particularly clear, but he has already shown signs of “weakness”. This is reflected in the statement issued by Biden’s State Department in response to the intrusion of Taiwan by a joint plane at the end of January this year. In the statement, “Taiwan elected representatives” replaced the “Taiwan government”, indicating that they wanted to be under the framework of a “government”. Regarding the Taiwan Strait issue, Taiwan is not regarded as a sovereign and independent country, but a "region", which is completely different from the Trump administration.

Biden retaliates against pro-Iranian militia in Syria
Another example that can be used as a reference is that on Thursday night, the Biden administration ordered an air strike against the so-called pro-Iranian militia in Syria as a retaliation for the attack on the U.S. military against Iran-backed armed forces.
On February 15 this year, the U.S. military base at Erbil International Airport in Iraq was attacked by at least 14 rockets, killing one U.S. military contractor and injuring another nine people, one of whom was a U.S. soldier. On February 20, four rockets landed on the U.S. Army’s Ballard Air Force Base in Iraq, causing at least one person to be injured. On February 22, the U.S. Embassy in Iraq in the "Green Zone" in Baghdad also suffered at least Two rockets attacked.
Important US strongholds in Iraq have been attacked three times in the past two weeks, which has not happened in at least more than a year. At the end of 2019, the U.S. Embassy in Iraq was attacked by Iranian-backed armed forces and rushed into the embassy. Soon, U.S. President Trump directly ordered the killing of Iran’s No. 2 figure with drones and planned an attack on the U.S. military. "Soleimani", the soul figure of Iran, subsequently notified the U.S. military in advance that it symbolically threw a few missiles at the U.S. military base to show "retaliation," and there was no significant action. After Biden came to power, Iran began to launch attacks on US troops in the Middle East one after another.
For the actions of the Iraqi armed organization under the command of Iran, Biden has not had any strong response until Iran threw the missile directly into the US embassy in Iraq and “had to” make a counterattack. An Iraqi military officer told the Associated Press that the U.S. military's airstrike in Syria caused more than one death and more injuries. There were also reports that 17 people were killed. However, after the Biden administration issued the first foreign military order after taking office, people discovered that the U.S. airstrikes were not the Iraqi pro-Iranian forces that directly attacked the U.S. forces in the past three weeks, but were on the Syrian border. The relationship with Iran was specious. The armed organization of the People’s Republic of China is akin to "laying guns."
"Financial Times" quoted Biden's explanation that although the US military was not completely attacked by the armed forces directly commanded by Iran, the US military has now expanded the definition of pro-Iranian armed forces and will likely provide bases for pro-Iranian armed forces. , Also included. In other words, as long as it is in contact with Iran, a fight by the US military is equivalent to "revenge" and "warning" against Iran. However, like you and me, many people do not understand that such "revenge" will make Iran feel pain and laugh. The Republican Party in the Senate has sent a letter to the Biden White House, asking for an explanation of what signal this air strike will send to Iran.
Another question is why the U.S. military did not directly attack the Iraqi pro-Iranian militia of the U.S. military. Biden’s explanation was that Biden did not want to escalate the situation.
In fact, the meaning of this is very clear. The real murderer Biden didn’t touch him. Biden beat the murderer’s "distant relatives". Anyway, if you are intimate with the "murderer", hitting you is equivalent to beating the "murderer." . What is the logic?
There may be another reason why Biden dare not retaliate directly against Iran. They want to "invite" Iran to come back to talk about the "Iran Nuclear Agreement." This agreement may involve the interests of some leftist political elites in Europe and America. Therefore, after Trump launched it, They tried their best to maintain, and now they want to ask Iran, which followed Trump to withdraw from the agreement, to return to the agreement. Therefore, Biden's so-called not wanting to stimulate the situation may also be related to their desire to curry Iran and return to the agreement.
In the face of Iran's weakness, if the CCP uses some "bait" to suspend the appetite of Biden and exchange part of Taiwan's security interests, will the Biden submit? It's hard to say.
As for Biden's sudden air raid on Syria, the US Congress is also weighing its legitimacy. At the same time, Biden and his spokesperson Saki, in April 2017, after Trump ordered air strikes on Syria due to the use of chemical weapons by Assad and caused civilian casualties, they sent tweets accusing Trump. For example, Saki once said, Syria is also a sovereign country. Why did Trump do this? But now, Biden has done the same thing, but unlike Trump, the reason for the attack has almost nothing to do with Syria. Biden's inconsistency in words and deeds caused the American conservative media to lash out.

Biden allows U.S. companies to invest in the Communist Army
In addition, Trump is actively adopting strategies to suppress the CCP in office. On November 12, 2020, he issued Executive Order No. 13959, prohibiting American investors from buying or owning stocks of companies with military backgrounds in the CCP. 44 related companies have been blacklisted, but the Biden administration took office. It was later stipulated that from January 26 to May 27, Americans can continue to purchase shares of Chinese companies with a military background in the CCP. This is undoubtedly tantamount to allowing American companies to continue to send money to the CCP’s military industrial enterprises.
Biden made frequent moves in office, but I personally suspect that some orders may not even be handled by Biden. For example, the US military's order to retaliate against Iranian forces in this air strike is not necessarily issued by Biden himself, because Biden's health is really doubtful. It seems that he is not capable of performing his current duties.

Biden makes a fool of himself in Texas
On the 26th, Biden went to Texas in the name of condolences to the people who were hit by the snow and ice disasters a few days ago, but during the public speech, he went wrong again.
It is in this state of health that Biden’s White House announced that he would not see foreign guests for a few months, and as president, he would always deliver an important “State of the Union address” in Congress after any month. Biden has not yet done it is an act of breaking convention.

Former US Secretary of Defense warns of the threat of war in the Taiwan Strait, Beijing’s "meal strategy"
What ability does such a president have to ensure the security of the United States, let alone Taiwan, which is as far away as the Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, I suspect that many of his orders were not given by Biden himself, but by his leftist adviser and even his deputy Harris. In the Biden administration, there are many positions occupied by people with pro-communist backgrounds, including Secretary of State Blinken, CIA Director William Burns (William Burns) who is undergoing nomination hearings, and Biden's ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Greenfield. Thomas-Greenfield) and so on.
Some of them have also shouted threats from the CCP, and they have also shouted "Help Taiwan to fight against China", but don’t forget that Trump was able to come to power in the first place, because he gained popular support, that is, he is different from Washington politicians, and he does what he says. Most of Biden’s nominations are old fritters in Washington’s political circles, saying one thing and doing another thing is a housekeeping skill, and how can they openly speak for the CCP when American public opinion is generally anti-communist. Therefore, there is a question as to how much money these people's promises are worth.
So, let’s go back to the topic just now. In the face of the current US government, the CCP’s threat to Taiwan may not be particularly underestimated.
On February 26, the former US Secretary of Defense Gates publicly warned that the situation in Taiwan was “very dangerous” in the multilateral competition between the United States and China. He pointed out that Xi Jinping was actively working to bring Hong Kong and Taiwan under the control of the CCP during his tenure. In order to make himself have the same status as Mao Zedong.
He was worried that the CCP would adopt a "cannibalization strategy" toward Taiwan. First take the islands surrounding Taiwan, such as Dongsha and Penghu, while continuing to disturb Taiwan's main island with military aircraft. Gates therefore said that the Biden administration should seriously consider abandoning its ambiguous policy on Taiwan, and it must be clear that if the CCP takes action against Taiwan, the United States will support Taiwan.

Taiwan pineapple is banned by the mainland
Currently, the CCP's military reunification has not yet taken place, but "soft wars" in other areas have already begun. On February 24, the CCP Customs announced that the import of Taiwanese pineapples was banned on March 1, on the grounds that Taiwanese pineapples did not pass the quarantine. However, even Japan, which has the most stringent quarantine, did not say that Taiwan’s pineapples had a problem. The move by China is obviously political behavior. It seems that it is threatening the Taiwan authorities. In addition to military means, it has many levers to restrict Taiwan. Today, pineapples are banned and other things can be banned tomorrow, thereby exerting pressure on Taiwan and even creating internal contradictions in Taiwanese society. And this incident is a warning to the world.
Because, according to Taiwan’s “Central News Agency”, Taiwan’s annual output of pineapples is 420,000 tons. According to the data in 2020, 90% of them are directly consumed by Taiwan’s local residents, and only about 10% are exported internationally. Of this 10%, mainland China accounts for Among them, 97%, followed by Japan and Hong Kong. During the Trump administration, a word that became popular is "decoupling". Decoupling from the CCP is a proposition of "national security", not just an economic issue. The CCP is actively "linking" with other countries in various fields. In the end, it makes you feel that it won't work without it. This situation is worthy of the world's vigilance.
The CCP has taken it right, and the whole world is fancying "money" rather than "morality". This is also an important incentive for it to exploit loopholes frequently, and it is also an important factor for human beings to be punished repeatedly without knowing it. The CCP can gag your mouth, kidnap your soul, and paralyze your fighting spirit. When will the world stop obsessing with earning CCP’s dirty money, and be able to fight it as the world’s biggest demon? Then many passive situations will be quickly reversed.
