Taiwan defines "the first shot" and the CCP accepts the "massacre proposal" targetting Taiwan independence activists
In the face of the CCP’s continuous cross-border provocations, on 6 March 2023, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense went against the previous principle of “not firing the first shot” and made it clear that as long as an aviation entity enters the airspace baseline, it will fire and "shoot".
Taiwan Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng: "Once it breaks into 24 nautical miles, and it has to approach 12 nautical miles, so you have to pay attention to this action."
Taiwan legislator Jiang Qichen: "Then there was almost a fight."
Qiu Guozheng: "Yes, there is nothing wrong. So we no longer respond to the first shot, we say that as long as you have an aviation entity, no matter what you have, I will respond in self-defense, and I will shoot.”
During the two sessions, the CCP still maintained about 10 sorties per day, operating around the Taiwan Strait. On 6 March, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense redefined the principle of firing the "first shot": as long as an "aviation entity" enters the baseline of the airspace within 12 nautical miles, the "shooting" must be launched.

A phased sign of the escalation of the cross-strait crisis
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: "This is a major revision adopted by Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense in response to the escalation of the cross-strait crisis, that is, the concept of the first shot in military operations has been redefined. This can be said to be a phased sign of the escalation of the cross-strait crisis. .”
Yokogawa, an expert on China: "This time, in response to the possible visit of US Speaker McCarthy to Taiwan, the CCP will definitely strengthen harassment and violation of Taiwan's territorial waters and airspace. This is a relatively new policy."

However, when Taiwan announced the new policy of "fire the first shot", the CCP has no intention of stopping the escalation of provocations.
Zhou Xiaoping, a mainland "Internet writer" known as the "Big 50 Cent", recently proposed in the two sessions of the National People's Congress that a so-called "Taiwan independence" blacklist should be established, saying that during special operations against Taiwan, "anyone can arrest or kill them.". Zhou Xiaoping himself told the media after the group meeting on 4 March that the proposal was accepted on the same day and has been forwarded to relevant departments for study and judgment.

CCP's anti-human and genocidal massacre order should be criticized by the whole world
Tang Jingyuan: "This proposal can be said to be an authentic, anti-human, and genocidal massacre order. This massacre proposal (passed) has already represented the official attitude of the Chinese Communist Party to a certain extent. It is no longer A simple, pure personal opinion of Zhou Xiaoping."
According to public information, the 41-year-old Zhou Xiaoping started working immediately after graduating from junior high school, wandered around the Internet, and frequently published so-called "patriotic" articles on the Internet. It is the first time in history that the CCP has created the illusion of "public opinion" through the proposal of the two sessions.
Tang Jingyuan: "The evil nature of it (the CCP) lies in the fact that the CCP has stopped even the so-called superficial article of bringing Taiwan independence separatists to justice that it advertised in the past. It can directly authorize the CCP soldiers, and even encourage any civilian to shoot and kill the target persons on this list. This is unprecedented in the history of the CCP’s previous land reforms, political rebellions, and the massacres during the Cultural Revolution.”
Yang Hao, a professor at National Chengchi University in Taiwan, told The Epoch Times on 5 March that Zhou Xiaoping's remarks not only have the color of international terrorism, but also violate the basic values of human civilization, and should be criticized by the whole world.

Zhou Xiaoping, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made a proposal at this CPPCC meeting, suggesting that Taiwan be issued a "blacklist of separatist forces in Taiwan" punishment order, and propose that when CCP China invades Taiwan, arrest or kill "blacklist" figures. The proposal has been accepted by the CCP authorities and has been forwarded to relevant departments for deliberation. In this regard, Cao Xingcheng, the former chairman of UMC, criticized ton 8 March 2023, "The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference meeting proposed the killing order of this terrorist organization. This is simply a terrorist organization, which just shows everyone the true face of China."

Police arresting people casually is a "zombie virus" outbreak
The Association for Cross-Strait Studies of Taipei City Trustees held a general meeting today in Kangyuan, Legislative Yuan, and invited Cao Xingcheng to give a special speech. Cao pointed out that the CCP is a lawless terrorist organization. The police cannot arrest people casually, they must arrest them in accordance with the law, and they cannot shoot people casually after they are arrested. Even the most basic rule of law in modern civilization is absent. This is an example of the outbreak of the "zombie virus".

The U.S. saves many Chinese lives
Cao Xingcheng described that the Chinese Cultural Revolution was the outbreak of the zombie virus. Once it broke out, it was a struggle and killing. The U.S. has absorbed many Chinese students studying abroad and imparted technical knowledge, and Taiwanese and Hong Kong businessmen have also brought funds to China, which has caused China's economic take-off in the past 30 years.

CCP China is a lawless society, Cao left Singapore for Taiwan to warn Taiwanese about CCP
Cao Xingcheng mentioned that after Xi Jinping came to power, the "zombie virus" recurred, and China returned to a lawless society. Now that the zombie virus has broken out, during the anti-extradition movement in Hong Kong in 2019, the gangsters were called to beat unarmed Hong Kong people. He gave up his Singapore citizenship and returned to Taiwan. He wanted to serve as a whistleblower, telling everyone that "the zombie virus is coming again."

Taiwan has never been China's territory
Cao Xingcheng criticized the CCP's claim that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times. CCP's argument is nonsense and illogical. He gave an example that the Mongols used to be Tatars and ruled the Kiev region of Ukraine for more than 200 years. ThE CCP statement is complete nonsense. From the perspective of international law, Taiwan's status is undecided, and residents can decide their own future.
For Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, he took the Chinese Constitution on 7 March and declared that Taiwan is China's sacred territory. Cao Xingcheng refuted, this is nonsense! "Garbage is still garbage in the "golden toilet". This is garbage packaged with the constitution. Instead of proving that the constitution is clean, it proves that the Chinese constitution is garbage, and this country is a terrorist organization."
Cao Xingcheng directly pointed out that the CCP is a mafia organization disguised as the government and the country, and it is a mafia organization that is rampant with viruses. It can be seen from Qin Gang's statement and the killing order that civilized countries would not do this, which is terrible. This is why former President Chiang Ching-kuo advocated "no contact, no negotiation, and no compromise." After a lifetime, I deeply know that this is a virus, and the third thing is to isolate the virus.
He emphasized that the Kuomintang talks about being a family on both sides of the strait, and Zhou Xiwei also said to embrace and change it. Can you change the virus? Everyone should know that this is a zombie virus, don't have illusions, and want to respond to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "The Chinese nation has become a wolf warrior with a virus. If you want to talk nonsense, go by yourself. Don't let the people of Taiwan get mixed up with the virus. If the Kuomintang likes the mainland, go back. Why do you want to make trouble in Taiwan?"

Cao Xingcheng: The U.S. does not recognize Taiwan as part of CCP China while Taiwanese should be grateful
In addition, McCarthy, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, confirmed that he will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen in the U.S. Cao Xingcheng said that the most important meaning is that the United States does not recognize Taiwan as the territory of the People's Republic of China, and the Taiwan Strait is a high sea. If Taiwan is now China's territory, it means obediently surrendering. Do you want to kneel down and plead guilty? Taiwan has freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. Of course it is not a Chinese territory. The United States also supports that Taiwan is not a Chinese territory. Taiwanese people should thank the United States. This is the most basic logic.

Qin Gang's "Wolf Warrior" style reappears, saying that CCP diplomats must "dance with wolves"

On 7 March 2023, Qin Gang, the new foreign minister of the Communist Party of China, held a press conference during the two sessions. This was also his first press conference after taking office as foreign minister. When answering questions from Chinese and foreign journalists, Qin Gang once again showed his wolf warrior attitude, saying that CCP diplomats must "dance with wolves."
In the morning of the same day, Qin Gang, the new foreign minister of the Communist Party of China, held his first foreign minister's press conference after taking office, answering questions from Chinese and foreign journalists. Among them, an overseas reporter asked Qin Gang his opinion on "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy".
Qin Gang said, "I remember when I first came to the United States as an ambassador, the American media exclaimed, 'Chinese wolf warrior' is coming. Now that I have come back to be the foreign minister, and the title is no longer given to me, I really feel like I have lost something."
Qin Gang claimed that the so-called "wolf warrior diplomacy" is a discourse trap, and those who create this discourse trap either do not understand the CCP's diplomacy, or ignore the facts, and have ulterior motives.
Qin Gang also said that when wolves get in the way and wolves attack, CCP diplomats must "dance with wolves" and so on.
The 56-year-old Qin Gang has served as the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister to the United Kingdom, Director of the Information Department, and Director of the Protocol Department.
At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Qin Gang rocketed up to become a member of the Central Committee and the only member of the Central Committee at the vice-ministerial level in the diplomatic system. He succeeded Wang Yi as the foreign minister of the Communist Party of China on 30 January 2023.
The outside world believes that the main reason why Qin Gang was able to get Xi Jinping's rapid promotion was that he was able to do what Xi liked, and thus gained Xi Jinping's trust.
Qin Gang has made more than one speech about fighting wolf.
In February 2021, when Qin Gang, who was still the deputy foreign minister at the time, faced European reporters questioning the CCP's "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy", Qin Gang pointed out that "some countries and some people" cannot be described as "Wolf Warrior", "Bad wolf".
In August 2021, Qin Gang, who had served as the Chinese Communist Party's ambassador to the United States for only one month, said in a private Zoom meeting held by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, "If we can't resolve our differences, please shut up."
In recent years, the CCP's "wolf warrior" diplomacy has been criticized by the outside world, and it has also made the CCP increasingly isolated internationally. The outside world once predicted whether the CCP would change its "wolf warrior diplomacy" style after Qin Gang became foreign minister. However, according to Qin Gang's first foreign ministers' press conference at the two sessions, his style of fighting wolf has not changed, and the tense relationship between the international community and the CCP may continue.

Xi Jinping, Qin Gang rarely criticize the United States, Behind their intent to provoke controversy
Reporter : Tang Zheng / Editor : Fan Ming / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/03/08/a103664288.html
During the two sessions of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping and the new foreign minister Qin Gang successively criticized the United States, once again posing as a wolf warrior. Some analysts believe that this indicates that U.S.-China relations will continue to deteriorate. There are also analysts who believe that the CCP is only trying to maintain power and does not want to ease Sino-U.S. relations.
On 7 March, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang held the first Chinese and foreign press conference in Beijing. Responding to questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on issues related to the CCP’s foreign policy and foreign relations. However, his nature as a wolf warrior has not changed, saying that CCP diplomats must "dance with wolves".
When responding to the US-China relationship, Qin Gang said that the US's perception and positioning of China have seriously deviated, accusing the US of increasing the risk of Sino-US confrontation and conflict, and that the US is not sincere in "installing guardrails" for Sino-US relations.
Qin Gang also said threateningly, "If the U.S. does not step on the brakes and continues to drive along the wrong road, no amount of guardrails will be able to stop the derailment and rollover, and it will inevitably fall into conflict and confrontation."
Regarding Qin Gang's wolf-warrior remarks, White House national security spokesman John Kirby responded: "With all due respect, the position of the United States in bilateral relations has not changed."
Since the end of 2022, the bilateral relations between the CCP and many countries have been resisted and publicly warned by Western countries due to issues such as trade, technology, Taiwan, human rights, support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, whether Beijing provided weapons to Russia, and the spy balloon incident.
Just the day before, on 6 March, Xi Jinping also criticized the United States by name at the meeting of the CPPCC National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the Federation of Industry and Commerce, saying that "the Western countries headed by the United States" have implemented "all-round containment, encirclement and Block, suppress".
The Wall Street Journal reported that Qin Gang's sometimes sharp description of Sino-U.S. relations is consistent with China's shift to a more aggressive diplomatic tone under Xi Jinping.
Chase Blazek, an Asia-Pacific analyst at Stratford, a U.S. security intelligence think tank, told VOA that both sides appear to be on a confrontational trajectory, even if they leave room for rhetoric. The reality also makes it difficult to establish such a bottom line.
Craig Singleton, a researcher at the American Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, believes that Xi Jinping faces a "typical dictator's dilemma" before blaming the failure on "hostile external forces."
“His aggressive and counterproductive policies have adversely affected China’s economic growth and alienated people around the world. Faced with these and other challenges, Xi Jinping must now place the blame for these failures on hostile external forces.”
Some experts said that Xi's attacks on the United States appeared to be partly aimed at deflecting blame for his decision-making.
Shirley Martey Hargis, a non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, told Wall Street Journal that as Xi continues to consolidate power, he may be looking for new ways to explain China's mounting woes, including economically . Take responsibility or pass it on, she said.
Current affairs commentator Shen Zhou told The Epoch Times that Qin Gang was mainly cooperating with the two sessions for internal propaganda, not really expounding foreign policy. The higher the tone, the more he can cover up the repeated mistakes of the CCP leaders in foreign strategies and avoid possible internal pursuit, blame, and shifted the focus to anti-Americanism.
Shen Zhou believes that the CCP believes that the Biden-Harris administration cannot take the initiative to provoke conflicts, "That's why the CCP dares to provoke such intentionally, but the CCP dares not to conflict at this time. Conflicts will only lead to the collapse of the CCP regime faster, and the CCP is actually more afraid of being defeated." Therefore, the action of preparing for war should not be to take the initiative to fight, but to be afraid of being beaten."
Shen Zhou said that the main concern of the CCP leaders is not how to ease Sino-US relations, but how to maintain their own authority and power. Although Xi Jinping is re-elected and fully in power, many internal problems cannot be solved at all. Wang Yang and others drove away but there was no one in the Xi camp that could be used.

Recently, there has been a sharp increase in fever patients across China, and hospitals are once again overcrowded. Officials claim that the peak of influenza A is coming, but the symptoms of influenza A infection are almost the same as those of covid. People ridiculed the authorities for covering up the epidemic: "I think it is just a different name."

Symptoms of influenza A and covid are exactly the same
On 7 March, the entry of #感染流流会会组织症# appeared on Weibo’s hot searches, and netizens complained about their uncomfortable symptoms after infection. Including fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, muscle soreness, joint pain, headache, and in severe cases, "big white lungs" will appear, causing netizens to question.
"Looking at the symptoms, it's exactly the same as covid. And it's nationwide. In some kindergartens of Hangzhou, once a child is infected, classes will be suspended for a week. There are too many children, and there seem to be not many adults. Have you got anything?"
"It feels similar to the previous covid."

"I think it's just a different name. They all said that the symptoms are the same as those of Yang. Now they are lying flat, and they are so uncomfortable that they are dying. They have a high fever at night, and they have been burning for two days."

A Chinese man took a video to suspect a second outbreak of the covid virus. He said: "Fluor A may also cause white lung, and may also leave sequelae, such as fever, coughing, coughing and sputum, persistent bad, dyspnea, hypoxemia, why are all the symptoms so similar to covid? This symptom is exactly the same as covid, is this a 1:1 imitation, or what is going on?"
In addition, the official claims that nucleic acid testing can also test positive for influenza A, and that "Lianhua Qingwen", which treats covid, can also cure influenza A, causing more doubts from the public.

Hospitals across China are full again
Recently, a large number of videos have been uploaded on the Internet showing that fever clinics in hospitals in Beijing, Changchun, Jinan, Tianjin, Xi'an and other places are full, and the situation at the peak of the new crown epidemic has occurred again. Some hospitals are still crowded in the middle of the night. Many of these videos show children's hospitals.
China Business News and its cover news reported that Beijing Children’s Hospital stated that the number of children with fever and cough at the end of February had increased by five times compared with the beginning of February, and the rate of influenza confirmation surged from 10% to about 70%.
A person surnamed Zhang in Chengdu, Sichuan reported that his child had a high fever of 41 degrees and was rushed to Chengdu Sixth People's Hospital for treatment. However, he waited for four hours in the emergency room with the child before he was diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
Another man recounted the experience of sending a neighbour’s child to the hospital: The 9-year-old child was so uncomfortable that he could not open his eyes. The hospital was full of children. He waited in line for 4 hours before seeing the doctor and getting a bunch of medicine.
At the beginning of December 2022, after the CCP released the epidemic prevention and control without warning, the epidemic broke out in China. After the new year, the epidemic has slowed down, and many experts predict that the second wave of infection peaks may be ushered in from March to May. However, March is the time for the two sessions of the CCP. The outside world suspects that the CCP authorities avoided mentioning the CCP virus and claimed that it was an outbreak of influenza A.
Currently, the Two Sessions of the Communist Party of China are being held in Beijing. Photos taken by foreign media reporters and CCTV live broadcasts show that, except for the two rows in front of the presidium, all other personnel in the venue are wearing masks. Netizens ridiculed: "China's epidemic prevention and control has achieved a major and decisive victory. Why are all the representatives wearing masks? Is it to prevent influenza A?"

Moreover, the "closed-loop management" during the epidemic prevention and control period is still implemented at the two sessions. All journalists have to enter the restaurant in advance for nucleic acid testing, which has also aroused doubts from journalists from various countries.

"Influenza A" hits the whole country, the three northeastern provinces fall, and children with fever crowd the Beijing hospitals
The latest data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the positive rate of so-called influenza virus tests continues to rise, with influenza A being the main one. According to people in Beijing, the local hospital is full of children with high fever, and the three northeastern provinces have already fallen. People suspect that the epidemic may still be covid.
Inerviewee in Wuhu, Anhui Province: "There are a lot of children in the hospital. The doctor said a lot of this kind of situation just now. The doctor told us just now that the flu (flu) usually takes about 5 days to be detected."
Interviewee in Beijing: "When I went to the hospital today, almost all of them were children with persistent high fevers."
The latest data from the China CDCn shows that (the week of February 20th to February 26th) the positive rate of influenza virus detection continues to rise, of which influenza A is the main one, co-circulating with subtype influenza viruses, as of 26 February,aA total of 390 outbreaks of influenza-like illnesses were reported on 1 March but the real data is unknown.
Interviewee in Beijing: "With the weakening of the covid virus, we can say that we have seen a future without the epidemic. Everyone is very happy to go out for activities. The children go out to go to class, and no longer have to worry about the suspension of work, production and classes but it did not come true. The arrival of influenza A dashed our good hopes. Currently, influenza A has spread across the country, and some areas in the three northeastern provinces and Hebei have fallen. Beijing, where I am now, is also a trend of outbreaks of influenza A. Not only Kids get it, a lot of adults get it."
Chinese people: "This time influenza A is too severe. My son was infected years ago, and this time he was also infected. In the past few days, more than a dozen children in their class have had a fever and asked for leave. 48 students in the daughter's class asked for leave. There are as many as 15, some of which were not positive a year ago, but became positive a year later, some were re-infected, and some had influenza A.”
The Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece media reported on 6 March that experts predict that the flu peak may last for more than a month but it is difficult to predict the flu trend and when the peak will end.
Hu Yang, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital: "To be honest, when the influenza A epidemic will end is a topic that I dare not touch. Just like this influenza A, everyone did not expect it. In order to prevent the second outbreak of covid, I did not expect that there will be influenza A in late February."
Interviewee in Beijing: "It's 3 o'clock in the morning. Just after taking the temperature, the fever reached 40 degrees. I gave him Tylenol once at 8 o'clock in the evening, but it didn't work. The high fever has lasted for two days. The doctor said that if one antipyretic does not work, two antipyretics can be used alternately."
On 6 March 2023 the reading volume of entries about "Influenza A" exceeded 1.2 billion, and other topics related to Influenza A" also received a high degree of attention. Many people's symptoms are quite serious.
Chinese interviewed: "My personal experience tells you that this influenza A virus is really much worse than covid. On the third day today, my voice has become so hoarse that I can't speak, and occasionally I will say that my stomach hurts. Hurry up, it's too painful .”
Yuan Shilei, a Chinese pediatrician: "Every day, I give people popular science about influenza A. Before going to work today, my child also started to have a fever. When I took the temperature, it was more than 39 degrees. And I heard that there are too many patients in the pediatric hospital recently. I hope the influenza A Get over there as soon as possible,"
Now the so-called "flu" has spread across the country for nearly 20 days. CCP experts say that this wave of epidemics can only end when more than 70% of the people develop antibodies to the pathogen. This is not like dealing with flu. It's more like dealing with the covid virus, but the CCP's information is not transparent, and it is difficult for the outside world to know the real situation.

China's population is only 900 million to 1 billion? Pompeo's speech draws attention

A few days ago, former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo was interviewed to comment on the threat of the CCP. During the interview, he mentioned "900 million or 1 billion Chinese people", and it was suspected whether it involved China's real population data.
On 2 March 2023, Voice of America released a video of an exclusive interview with Mike Pompeo. In his speech, Pompeo talked about how the CCP has threatened the United States and the world for decades, and how the United States should fight back.
He said that the CCP is a bigger threat than the Nazis, and it is a bigger threat to the whole world. China has been waging an economic war with the US and Europe for decades. There are people in the US who are against another Cold War, but sometimes people have to face reality. Xi Jinping is waging a war, starting with the economy, with "big foreign propaganda" and "wolf warrior diplomacy" in order to prepare for a "bigger conflict".
Pompeo also talked about the U.S. counterattack: The U.S. government banned the largest espionage operation in domestic history, which was operated at the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas. The U.S. counterattack set back Chinese espionage by many years. The CCP is not a 10-foot giant, and the US will win in the end, and the West will win, but it will take firm, thoughtful leadership from the U.S. to do that.
He also said that the United States should recognize the actual situation in China and then take appropriate actions, which can promote a "different leadership" in China, which is good for the United States and "for 900 million, 1 billion Chinese People are good too," because the Chinese also don't want anything to do with what Xi Jinping is doing now.
Voice of America's Chinese website translated the above-mentioned speech fragment as "it is also good for more than one billion Chinese people." Some readers found that what Pompeo said should be "900 million, 1 billion Chinese people" (nine hundred million, billion Chinese people).
Pompeo served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency for a year before becoming the U.S. Secretary of State. During his tenure as Secretary of State, Chinese scholar Miles Yu Maochun served as his think tank. He is considered one of the American politicians who know the CCP best.
Some netizens wondered whether his above speech had inadvertently revealed the current real population of CCP China.
In recent years, the CCP has claimed that China's population exceeds 1.4 billion but the release of the November 2020 census results has been delayed for several months, raising widespread doubts about whether China's population has plummeted. Before this census, China had experienced a tragic epidemic for nearly a year.
After more than three years of the outbreak of the epidemic, the outside world is even more suspicious of how many CCP China's population is left. In particular, the wave of the epidemic that started in December last year and is still continuing today has once caused the tragedy of "corpses everywhere" in hospitals and funeral parlors across the country. It is still a mystery how many people were lost during this period.

The United States and Taiwan discuss the establishment of an ammunition depot in Taiwan. The Premier: Prepare for war to avoid war

News from Taiwan. In response to the CCP’s continued threats to intimidate Taiwan, the Defense Minister of the Republic of China confirmed on Monday (6 March 2023) that the United States is discussing with Taiwan the possibility of setting up an arms storage point in Taiwan. The Premier responded on Tuesday (7 March) that both the United States and Taiwan share the philosophy of maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific and will continue to cooperate.
Chen Chien-jen, Chief Executive of the Republic of China: "Maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the consensus of democratic countries around the world. We have always adhered to the 'two insistences' for peace in the Taiwan Strait. We also uphold Taiwan's sovereignty and do not allow any annexation or invasion; therefore, we will do our best to promote peace in the Taiwan Strait. We will work hard to prepare for war so that we can avoid war; we must be able to fight to stop war."
Jiang Qichen (KMT), convener of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan: "(Possibility) In the future, in the strategic deployment of the entire U.S. military in the Asia-Pacific region, especially East Asia, although it is not directly sending troops or stationing troops in Taiwan, it may store Taiwan as part of its ammunition. His logistical supplies. This also highlights whether other neighboring countries have a higher chance of getting involved or being involved in the event of an incident in the Taiwan Strait.”
The U.S. already has ammunition depots in the Indo-Pacific region, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other places. KMT Congressman Jiang Qichen said that if it is also set up in Taiwan, this highlights that when the United States considers wars in the Taiwan Strait and cross-strait conflicts, it may be difficult to transport military supplies and ammunition, so it must be stored first.

At the first hearing of the House Select Committee on China on 28 February Committee Chairman Mike Gallagher said, "We could call it a 'strategic competition,' but it's not an ordinary game." "This is an existential struggle for life in the 21st century, where the most basic freedoms are at stake."
Consolidate Taiwan
Further solidifying democratic Taiwan against CCP invasion is one aspect of countering the CCP’s malign influence. Although the Chinese regime has never controlled Taiwan, China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
For the United States, it is required by law to provide Taiwan with the necessary weapons to maintain Taiwan’s self-defense against the CCP.
To this end, the United States on 3 March approved the sale of new weapons worth $619 million to Taiwan. The deal, which includes 200 anti-aircraft air-to-air missiles and 100 air-to-surface missiles capable of destroying land-based radar stations, will help keep Taiwan vulnerable to attacks by the CCP regime.
Separately, the U.S. is working to reform procurement of certain high-end precision munitions, and the Army is ramping up production to overcome challenges associated with replenishing domestic munitions stocks, according to Assistant Secretary of the Army Douglas Bush.
Ban TikTok
The two parties are also reaching a consensus on banning TikTok, which U.S. intelligence officials have repeatedly revealed to be a threat to national security.
A bipartisan group of 12 U.S. senators led by Mark Warner and John Thune announced legislation on March 7 that would authorize the Commerce Department to "prohibit or prevent "Tech companies owned by hostile governments or rogue states operate in the United States.
On 2 February, the White House ordered a ban on the use of TikTok on U.S. government equipment.
On 28 February, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to pass a bill giving President Joe Biden more power to ban TikTok entirely in the United States.
Punishment for live organ harvesting
The U.S. Congress has also enacted laws targeting China’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.
On 28 February, the House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously passed the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting (Live Harvesting) Act of 2023, which would ban perpetrators of live organ harvesting from entering the U.S. Conduct financial transactions within the United States.
"People are finally waking up to the atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party," lead sponsor Rep. Chris Smith (R-Smith) said in a statement on 28 February "In the United States, especially in the medical field, we must look at this most heinous crime."
In 2019, an independent people's court in the UK ruled that the communist regime was conducting "large-scale" forcible organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, with the main target being persecuted Falun Gong practitioners in custody.
Investigating the Wuhan Virus Lab
Most notably, U.S. lawmakers called on U.S. Intelligence Director Avril Haines to hand over her office's latest assessment of the origins of teh covid virus
After a week of debate, both the FBI and the Department of Energy (DoE) believe that the covid virus most likely escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
To this end, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill on 1 March requiring the Biden-Harris administration to declassify intelligence related to the origin of the covid virus. Known as the "COVID-19 Origins Act 2023," the purpose of the bill is to specifically investigate whether the virus that causes COVID-19 came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Senators Mike Braun and Josh Hawley reintroduced the bill on 6 March 2023 after the DOE provided a classified intelligence report on the matter to the White House and certain members of Congress.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said in an interview with Fox News, "I have observed that the Chinese (Chinese Communist Party) government has been doing its best to obstruct and disrupt our investigation." "The Chinese (Chinese Communist Party) government controls the Lab virus leak that killed millions of Americans."
