U.S. military starts a new drill 危险!美军开启新演练:台海冲突若爆发,美特种兵“空降台北”
Danger! The U.S. military starts a new drill: If a conflict in the Taiwan Strait breaks out, U.S. special forces "airborne to Taipei"
According to Taiwan media reports, a U.S. military official confirmed that during the annual capability exercise, the U.S. Special Operations Command simulated the combat scenario of "airborne Taipei" for the first time. According to the report, this is the first time in history that the US Special Warfare Command has used Taiwan as a hypothetical scenario in an exercise.
01
What message did the U.S. military drill "Airborne Taipei" convey?
It is the first time that the U.S. Special Warfare Command used Taiwan as a high-profile exercise for "U.S. airborne confrontation with the People's Liberation Army." Although the military media report did not mention the specific tasks to be performed by the airborne, it is likely to recapture important facilities and strongholds, such as airports, or to directly participate in urban operations in Taiwan. The report mentioned that the U.S. special operations forces practiced such things as firing artillery, destroying tunnels, and using "switchblade" suicide drones.
As for the appearance of two types of CH-47 helicopters and "Switchblade" drones in the exercise, Teng Jianqun, an expert on international issues, said that US special operations forces use CH-47 helicopters for transportation and "Switchblade" for targeted and precise strikes. Once the U.S. military enters the Taiwan region in the future, it will use these two methods of combat operations to intervene in conflicts in the Taiwan Strait region.
02
Can the U.S. military succeed in betting on the last bet in the Taiwan Strait?
According to some analysts, this exercise seems to have released a signal that "the US military will send troops to Taiwan to participate in the war in the conflict across the Taiwan Strait." In this regard, Professor You Zixiang believes that this is just a bluff by the United States. He pointed out that the reason why the US military conducts high-profile exercises is to make everyone think that the United States has the ability to respond to the PLA's landing on Taiwan, hoping to achieve a "deterrence" effect. "But the only effect that can be achieved is to continue to ask Taiwan to buy arms and let Taiwan turn itself into an arsenal, that's all."
Teng Jianqun analyzed that for the current United States, disrupting the situation in Taiwan is more about creating a pain point, and the purpose is still for its own geopolitical and commercial interests.

"Will a war break out between China and the United States because of Taiwan?"
Qin Gang responded
Obviously, the United States is trying to show a posture that "it can participate in the war" and constantly "draws big cakes" and "beats chicken blood" for Taiwan, hoping to make the Taiwan authorities hold on to the thigh of the United States.
According to the news on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 8, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang recently accepted a written interview with the Saudi Arabian "Middle East". Reporter: China has carried out simulated strikes on key targets in Taiwan Island and its surrounding waters. What is the scope and scale of the strikes? Recently, US officials visited Taiwan again, and there are rumors that the US and Taiwan will hold military exercises. How does China comment on this? Will China and the US go to war over Taiwan?
A: Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. On the Taiwan issue, we firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and safeguard the rights and interests of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, including the people of Taiwan. What we want to combat is attempts to split China and instigate "Taiwan independence" power.
At present, the situation in the Taiwan Strait continues to be tense. The root cause is that the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party authorities "rely on the United States to seek independence" and refuse to agree with the one-China principle. However, in order to contain China's development, the United States engages in the so-called "Taiwan control of China", while claiming to pursue the "one China policy", while insisting on upgrading official exchanges and substantive relations with the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party authorities; while saying that it does not support "Taiwan independence", while However, it sold advanced weapons to Taiwan and condoned its "seeking independence by force."
The Taiwan issue is at the core of China's core interests. The one-China principle is the key political basis for China to establish and develop relations with countries including the United States, and it is also an important part of the post-World War II international order. At present, what the United States is doing on the Taiwan issue is not only a serious violation of the one-China principle, but also a serious violation of the post-war international order and the basic norms of international relations.
"Taiwan independence" is the biggest threat to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China has always adhered to the prospect of striving for peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and efforts, but also reserves the option to take all necessary measures. If the U.S. really wants peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, it should return to the original meaning of the one-China principle, abide by the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués and the political commitments made by U.S. leaders, and clearly oppose and stop "Taiwan independence", not the opposite.
危险!美军开启新演练:台海冲突若爆发,美特种兵“空降台北”
据台媒报道,有美军官员证实,在年度能力演练中,美特种作战司令部首次演练模拟“空降台北”的作战场景。报道称,这是美军特战司令部有史以来第一次在演习中以入台作战为假想场景。
美军特战司令部如此高调拿台湾当作场景演练“美军空降对抗解放军”是第一次,“这必然会引起大家的注意,美军这么做也是刻意的。”台湾世新大学教授游梓翔分析,美国军事媒体报道里虽未提及空降要执行的具体任务是什么,但很可能是要夺回重要的设施据点,像是机场,或是演练直接参与在台湾的城镇作战。报道中提到,美军特战部队演练了像击发火炮、破坏隧道、使用“弹簧刀”自杀无人机这些内容。
至于演练中出现两种装备CH-47直升机和“弹簧刀”无人机,国际问题专家滕建群表示,美国特种作战部队使用CH-47直升机进行运输,使用“弹簧刀”进行定点精确打击,体现出美军未来一旦进入到台湾地区,将会使用这两种作战行动方式来介入台海地区的冲突。
有分析称,这次演练似乎释放了一个“美军会在台海的冲突中向台湾派兵参与战争”的信号。对此,游梓翔教授认为,这不过是美国在虚张声势,他指出,美军之所以高调演习,就是想让大家觉得美国是有回应解放军登陆台湾的能力的,希望达成“威慑”的效果。“但唯一能达到的效果也就是继续要台湾买军火,让台湾把自己变成军火库,如此而已。”
滕建群则分析认为,对于现在的美国来说,在台湾地区搅局,更多的是制造一个痛点,目的还是为了自身的地缘政治利益和商业利益。
显然,美国企图展现出一种“它能参战”的姿态,不断给台湾“画大饼”、“打鸡血”,希望以此让台当局抱紧美国大腿。
据外交部网站5月8日消息,国务委员兼外长秦刚日前接受了沙特《中东报》书面采访。记者问,中国对台湾岛及周边海域关键目标实施了模拟打击,请问打击的范围和规模是什么?近日美国官员再次窜访台湾,还有传闻称美台将举行军演,对此中方如何评论?中美会因台湾而爆发战争吗?
答:台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分,我们在台湾问题上坚定捍卫国家主权和领土完整,维护包括台湾人民在内14亿中国人民的权益,要打击的是企图分裂中国、策动“台湾独立”的势力。
当前,台海局势持续紧张,根源在于台湾民进党当局“倚美谋独”,拒不认同一个中国原则。而美方为遏制中国发展,搞所谓“以台制华”,一边声称奉行“一个中国政策”,一边却执意与台湾民进党当局升级官方往来和实质关系;一边说不支持“台独”,一边却向台湾出售先进武器、纵容其“以武谋独”。
台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心。一个中国原则是中国同包括美国在内各国建立和发展关系的关键政治基础,也是二战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。当前,美方在台湾问题上的所作所为,不仅是对一个中国原则的严重违背,更是对战后国际秩序、国际关系基本准则的严重破坏。
