China speeding up Taiwan unification plan: Blinken_我的网站

A |     Stanford(US), Oct 18 (UNI) China is pursuing unification with Taiwan "on a much faster timeline" than previously expected, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.

Beijing had decided the status quo was no longer acceptable, he said.

Speaking at an event at Stanford University on Monday with previous Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Blinken said that if Beijing could not achieve unification by peaceful means it would use coercion and possibly force, the BBC reported.

"That is what is profoundly disrupting the status quo and creating tremendous tensions," he said.

Blinken added that the US would honour its commitments to Taiwan and support the island's ability to defend itself.

In his opening remarks on Sunday at the Communist party Congress in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping insisted that "complete reunification of our country must and will be realised".

"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force," he said.

Xi even refused to rule using force to unify with Taiwan.

China sees the self-ruled island as a part of its territory, but Taiwan sees itself as distinct from the mainland. Washington has always walked a diplomatic tightrope over the issue of Taiwan and China, the BBC reported.

Its official policy does not commit to military action on Taiwan - but US President Joe Biden has seemingly gone against this stance by repeatedly emphasizing that Washington would defend Taiwan.

Blinken's comments come as China is holding a twice-in-a-decade party congress, in which Xi is widely expected to be elected to a historic third theme in office.

Last month, Biden said US forces would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack - despite the official US policy of ambiguity on the issue.

Tensions between US and China have been high in recent months, especially after a visit to Taipei by US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi.

China conducted large-scale military exercises in response to Pelosi's visit, something Taiwan condemned as "highly provocative".

UNI ING。    俄罗斯外交部副部长谢尔盖·里亚布科夫针对以色列军队入侵叙利亚并试图吞并戈兰高地的行为，发出了严正警告。他强调，以色列不应被叙利亚持续动荡所带来的“所谓机遇”所迷惑。         本月早些时候，叙利亚反对派武装——由沙姆解放组织（HTS）领导，突然发动攻势，迅速占领了包括首都大马士革在内的多个叙利亚重要城市。在此背景下，叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德宣布辞职，并前往俄罗斯寻求庇护。阿萨德政府垮台后，以色列国防军（IDF）趁机入侵了叙利亚与戈兰高地之间的缓冲区。         尽管此举遭到了联合国和阿拉伯国家的强烈谴责，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡仍于周日宣布，其内阁已批准一项计划，旨在扩大戈兰高地非法占领区的犹太人口，并意图在该地区无限期“定居”。         周一，里亚布科夫在就叙利亚局势发表评论时，被问及哪些外部势力在幕后操纵。

B | 他指出，除了美国的“明显干预”外，以色列无疑是当前局势的“主要受益者”之一。里亚布科夫严厉警告称：“我要提醒某些以色列的‘狂热分子’，不要被眼前的‘机会’冲昏头脑。

C | 关于吞并戈兰高地的任何言论，都是绝对不可接受的。”          他呼吁以色列恢复全面执行1974年与叙利亚签订的脱离接触协议，该协议在戈兰高地设立了缓冲区。然而，以色列政府却声称，随着阿萨德政府的垮台，该协议已“失效”。         以色列国防军参谋长赫尔齐·哈莱维则表示，以色列“并未介入叙利亚的内乱”，也“无意管理叙利亚”。但他同时承认，在叙利亚军队崩溃后，存在“恐怖分子可能渗透至此的威胁”，因此以色列“推进了防线……确保极端恐怖分子不会在我们边境附近扎根”。         以色列国防部长以色列·卡茨也声称，入侵缓冲区是为了创建一个新的“安全区”，以消除“重型战略武器和恐怖主义基础设施”的威胁。

D | 然而，这一说法并未能平息国际社会对以色列行为的质疑和批评。         在朋友圈分享这个故事；关注『跟着大事跑的人』，每天了解全球热点！          查看原图 51K。
