“It is better to lose a thousand soldiers than an inch of land” – Corriere.it

He sent his foreign minister Wang Yi to the United Nations General Assembly, Xi Jinping. And the message to the world (mainly the United States) is that China is willing to shed a lot of blood, if it has to, for the reunification of Taiwan.

The diplomatic expert Wang Yiwhich landed in New York, immediately to consult with her Dr. Henry Kissingerthe old friend of the Chinese people (the honorary title held by Beijing for foreigners who have crossed its history for a long time).

Kissinger repeated his appeal to RealpolitikEspecially with regard to the Taiwan issueWhich, in his opinion, should not have a monopoly on relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, which instead are currently threatened by accidents and escalation.

Instead, Wang replied that at present, the highest priority should be given to adequately addressing the Taiwan issue and that Any mismanagement of it would disrupt the relations between China and the United States.

the other day Joe Biden said America would defend the Democratic Island by force if faced with an unprecedented attack.

The president added that the United States does not encourage Taiwan independence, but the Taipei government is independent in its political choices. His White House advisers were quick to say that US policy on Taiwan has not changed, but it is clear that since Biden has now reiterated his determination to defend Taiwan militarily, the pragmatic line and intervention has changed.

Thus, Minister Wang Yi told Kissinger that achieving peaceful reunification is our greatest desire and we will do our best to achieve it. But it must be clear that the more widespread the idea of ​​”Taiwanese independence” is, the less the issue will be resolved peacefully and that there will be A shocking impact on our relations with Washington.

The conclusion of chief diplomacy Xi is alarming: There is an old adage in China: It is better than losing a thousand soldiers from an inch of land.

In light of Russia’s experience in Ukraine, Wang’s likeness appears to be an answer to those who believe that the difficulties and casualties of Putin’s army are too great to have advised Beijing not to follow suit by launching an attack on Taiwan.
