"I hope they won't really fight," Linda's idea may represent the thinking of most Americans, and also the idea of capital, which has a strong instinct to seek profit and avoid disadvantage, "Since we can't fight Chinese, and Taiwan is originally theirs, if it really can't be done, then give Taiwan Chinese...... Maybe we can get something else from the Chinese on the condition of supporting China to take back Taiwan. ”

"That's a good idea," Erin's eyes lit up, "Linda, I have an idea, I think we can probably use this idea as the core to make a program with the theme of Taiwan's future belonging." ”

Do a program on the future of Taiwan? Linda's eyes lit up suddenly, "What a good idea"

Compared with a while ago when the media focused on Iran, news about Taiwan is flying all over the television, newspapers, and magazines, and there are many columns and programs on the theme of Taiwan, but there are no programs on the theme of Taiwan's future ownership.

If this show is done well, maybe......

"But, who are we going to do this show?" Linda hesitated, but said.

suddenly realized that he and Erin are not from the same TV station, and everyone communicates with each other on weekdays, but this kind of planning and thinking about the program is ...... That's the foundation of the survival of a TV program

This idea, if Erin doesn't say it, nothing will happen, but now listening to Erin's words, Linda's heart began to stir uncontrollably, as if a voice in her heart was telling her: This is a genius idea, this is definitely a genius idea, Linda, if you really do such a show, you will definitely become famous in the entire news industry.

Linda also knew that this idea belonged to Erin, and she shouldn't have this kind of idea, but Erin's idea was too tempting, and Linda, who understood the weight of such a show after doing a good job, was reluctant to give up this genius idea no matter what, but she "plagiarized" her friend's idea like this, and Linda couldn't do it.

In fact, after just saying this idea, Erin regretted it, as the proposer, Erin is more aware of the weight of her proposal, if not, of course, this idea is undoubtedly her own, and she is very likely to become famous in the American press because of it, but now she has told her friend this idea...... Could it be that he offended Linda's friend because of this?

"I think ......" Erin bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, and finally said her thoughts, "Or, give full play to our respective advantages, and this time our two TV stations will cooperate on this show?" ”

Linda stared at Erin nervously, nervous to death, lest Erin say something to refuse, when Erin said that she planned to cooperate with the two TV stations, Linda's heart suddenly relaxed, and as soon as she put her heart down, Linda realized that she was a little afraid to face the eyes of her friends: to some extent, she was a thief and stole the honor that should have belonged to her friends alone.

But then, Linda was attracted to Erin's creative proposal, and ABC TV and CNN TV cooperated? This proposal...... It's really seductive

Yes, ABC and CNN are competitors, and it seems that everyone is fighting to the death, but in fact, there have been many collaborations between the two TV stations...... As long as it's profitable, don't say it's just cooperation, even if it's cooperation with the devil, what's the big deal?

ABC TV is good at the overall planning and guidance of the column, CNN TV is good at the specific details of the column, the two TV stations have their own advantages in the column planning, but there is no doubt that if the two TV stations can give full play to their respective strengths, develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and cooperate in this issue, there may be unexpected surprises

"We're going to get in touch with the TV station now."

The two of them are good friends, and they have a bit of a heart, and after Erin made this proposal, the two of them thought of this at the same time.

"Okay, call the TV station now" The two of them smiled at each other and nodded heavily.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the United States and China began talks on Taiwan, two other guests began to sit still. …,

One of them, of course, is Taiwan itself.

It is ironic to say that the issue that China and the United States are now discussing is that Taiwan will continue to maintain the current situation of "no independence and no reunification" or that the two sides of the strait are moving toward reunification, and China and the United States are engaged in a fierce confrontation on this issue, but Taiwan, as a party in the confrontation process, is not qualified to appear at the meeting table between the two sides.

It was also at this time that Taiwan, which has always felt good about itself, sadly discovered that feelings have always been in the eyes of China and the United States, and Taiwan's weight has ...... It's really a bargaining chip that the two of them have used to bargain, and they have felt good about themselves for so many years

The second one who can't sit still is Japan, which has been coveting Taiwan for a long time.

In China's modern history, there have been three major crises in Taiwan. The first time was made by the Dutch, in 1622 the Dutch invaded and occupied Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong recovered in 1662, and it was not until 1683 that Zheng Chenggong's son returned to the Qing government to finally solve this one, everyone knows, history textbooks say that Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan.

However, many people may forget about the second crisis in Taiwan, which was imposed by Japan on the people of Chinese, and originated in 1895 when the Qing government of China signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" under the coercion of Japanese imperialism...... When I talk about the Treaty of Shimonoseki, I believe many people will have an impression.

After the Qing government signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", on April 17, 1985, the Qing Dynasty ceded Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan in accordance with the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", and it was not until 1945 that after Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were returned to China according to the "Cairo Declaration" and the "Potsdam Proclamation" documents, and the "Taiwan issue" was basically resolved, but it was the 60 years that Japan occupied Taiwan, so that the Japanese still remember Taiwan. Even many Japanese people see Taiwan as part of Japan.

The third Taiwan crisis, which is now the Taiwan issue, was created by Japan's master: the US government.

The day after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, U.S. President Harry S. Truman ordered the Seventh Fleet to sail into the Taiwan Strait on the grounds that "Taiwan's status was undecided," and soon the U.S. government signed a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan. Chiang Kai-shek, who had retreated to Taiwan, needed each other from the United States, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to get strong support and assistance from the United States so that he could one day counterattack the mainland; The United States needs to use Taiwan, an unsinkable "aircraft carrier," to control the situation in Northeast Asia, and in particular, wants to encircle, blockade, and strangle New China. In this way, Taiwan has become a "problem" again, but this time it is caused by the US government.

As everyone knows, in the 50 s of the last century, there was a strategy of encirclement of China headed by the United States, including Japan, the ROK, Australia, and other countries, and the "first island chain" of this encirclement was centered on Taiwan, and if this "island chain" was broken by the reunification of the two sides of the strait, then the US-Japan encirclement of China would in fact exist in name only.

For Japan, Taiwan's geographical location is very unique, it can control the shipping from the Philippines to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, is Japan to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and other places must pass through, three-quarters of Japan's freight volume has to pass through the sea area is mainly the Taiwan Strait, it is obvious that the strait channel and the island of Taiwan in wartime will be related to the victory or defeat and survival of the country, so the Taiwan Strait is called its "life channel" by Japan, once this channel is blocked, Japan's economy will immediately "suffocate", Society will be severely affected. Therefore, for more than 100 years, successive Japanese governments have always coveted our country's Taiwan and always wanted to occupy it for themselves, and even today there are still some people in Japan who have this dream, and even if they cannot occupy it, they will do everything possible to control Taiwan, bring Taiwan into their sphere of influence, and let Taiwan be used by Japan and serve Japan.

This can be seen from the backs of those Taiwan independence elements in the original historical time and space, and there are definitely many more supporters behind these Taiwan independence elements than the Americans.

As far as Japan is concerned, if the mainland and Taiwan are reunified, the Taiwan Strait will truly become China's internal strait, and the southeast of Taiwan will be an unobstructed and very vast deep sea area, and China's strategic space will be opened up all of a sudden.

Once Taiwan's dominance is in the hands of the reunified Chinese, it will be a nightmare for Japan, which wants to become a world power day and night. Some ultra-rightist organizations in Japan have openly clamored that in the event of a war in the Taiwan Strait, they will organize a large number of so-called "volunteers" to help Taiwan independence resist the mainland. Why are the Japanese so motivated? In addition to the fact that the grievances left over from the history of the two countries have not been properly handled, it is out of the political and economic grand strategic considerations of the reality of their own countries. …,

The Japanese have been dreaming of becoming a world-class power for many years, but why is Japan not recognized by the world as a world-class power? This is not because of Japan's damn pacifist constitution, but because Japan has no way to control its own destiny, and Japan's throat has always been pinched in the hands of others, and this throat is the "golden waterway" of the Taiwan Strait, which is vital to Japan.

Therefore, at this time, when the Chinese and Americans sat together to discuss the Taiwan issue, they did not call the Japanese together, and the Japanese, who were already suspicious, could sit still and really see hell.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Whenever there is turmoil in the situation in Taiwan, the attitude of the United States can always keep the media firmly in hand, but few people know that at such times, Taiwan will send people to Japan to "explain and communicate."

At a time when the Chinese Government and the United States decided to hold consultations on the mainland's three-month multi-arms joint military exercise, which was actually to discuss the Taiwan issue, Taiwan's "Mainland Affairs Council Chairman" Wu Zhaoxie set off for Japan again for the purpose of meeting with "friendly personages" in Japanese political circles, discussing Taiwan's political situation with the Japanese side, and exchanging views with Japanese scholars.

In April 2005, Wu Zhaoxie, then chairman of Taiwan's "Mainland Affairs Council," also paid a low-key visit to Japan, and that was because Chinese mainland passed the "Anti-Secession Law" in March......

In those years, when Li Dengshen was running for the "president" of Taiwan again, he took a stunning shot, although it broke one of Li Dengshen's legs and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island at that time, but the existence of internal and external factors, the soil for the survival of Taiwan independence has always existed, and the Taiwan independence elements have never been extinct from the island, but what makes Zhang Lan feel gratified is that the number of Taiwan independence elements on the island now and the degree of arrogance in their actions are much less restrained than in the original historical time and space.

As a matter of fact, in Japan, the Taiwan issue is a topic of general concern in Japan, and last year, a feature in the Japanese-language edition of Newsweek caused quite a stir in both Japan and Taiwan. On the cover of the magazine were two Taiwanese girls, and the three big characters were very eye-catching -- "New Taiwan." There are two lines of small print below, that is, subtitles, which are: "The New Taiwanese Who Are Not Independent and Not Reunified" and "China's Reunification Shakes Japan."

In their view, the possibility of reunification across the Taiwan Strait is rising sharply along with the mainland's economic strength and national strength, and an unprecedented crisis of Taiwan's annexation by Chinese mainland has emerged; once Taiwan is "absorbed" by Chinese mainland, the two sides of the strait have achieved peaceful reunification, the East Asian defense line will collapse, Japan's maritime lifeline will suffer the most deadly threat, and once the mainland side reunifies Taiwan, It is equivalent to Japan's neck being choked, because at that time, the army of the Republic of China will be able to transfer fighter jets and submarine forces to Taiwan, and Naha in Okinawa, Japan, will become the primary target of the army of the Republic.

At the end of the report, he concluded by interviewing Americans: "The path that Japan should choose is: First, strengthen the Japan-US security alliance, and second, not support 'Taiwan independence.'" ”

This report accurately expresses Japan's dilemma: It hopes to use the Taiwan issue to strengthen military cooperation with the United States and realize its unilateral interests, but it is also afraid that a real war in the Taiwan Strait will harm itself, but at the same time, they are unwilling to give up Japan's influence on Taiwan and hope that Taiwan will continue to maintain the current situation of "neither independence nor reunification," and that a Taiwan that "does not hold independence and does not reunify" will not only be beneficial to Japan but will also be able to restrain the mainland to the greatest extent.

As a matter of fact, Japan's concern about the Taiwan Strait issue did not begin with the Sino-US talks, and this worry has lasted for a long time, especially as exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan have become more and more in-depth in recent years, and cross-strait interaction has increasingly shown a trend of benign development, and the atmosphere of concern about the Taiwan Strait issue in Japan has become stronger and stronger, and "worry" about the benign interaction between the two sides of the strait has been expressed, for example, since last year, there has been a great breakthrough between the two sides of the strait, and Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan and James Soong have realized their visit to the mainland. Taiwan and the mainland have established an inter-party exchange platform, but Japan has begun to be unable to sit still, and in June last year, the "Third Japan-Taiwan Parliamentary Exchange Meeting" was held in Tokyo, Japan. …,

At the meeting, two Japanese congressmen, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Democratic Party, challenged Jiang Bingkun, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, who was the first to visit the mainland, accusing him of not going to the mainland and not cooperating with the Chinese communists. Jiang Bingkun immediately asked rhetorically, "Taiwan's economic and political development cannot be separated from the mainland, and you want us to have tense relations with the mainland, and if a war breaks out, will Japan defend Taiwan for us?" ”。

Jiang's remarks left the two congressmen of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Democratic Party speechless.

Subsequently, Jiang even issued a solemn warning to Japan, warning Japan, "When Sino-Japanese relations are not good, Japan should not use Taiwan as a pawn and use Taiwan to oppose the mainland." ”

In the eyes of the Japanese Government and politicians, Jiang's remarks mean one thing: Japan's control over Taiwan is getting worse and worse, and Taiwan and the mainland are beginning to get closer and closer, which also means that the prelude to the reunification of the mainland and Taiwan has already begun.

Japanese right-wing scholar Ryo Nakajima pointed out in a speech entitled "Japan and the Future Taiwan" delivered by the Tokyo Foundation on 22 May that there is no longer such a pro-Japanese world as Taiwan, and now that Taiwan has begun to take the initiative to move closer to Chinese mainland, this will have a great impact on Taiwan-Japan relations, and Japan must have a sense of crisis.

This viewpoint has also become the basic viewpoint of the mainstream of Japanese political circles.

On the other hand, Japan is concerned about the rapid growth of China's national power.

Inside Japan, it is not uncommon to see articles about Japanese people worrying about China's growing political, economic, cultural, and military influence. Among them, Japan is particularly sensitive to the growth of China's military power. On May 23 last year, the U.S. Department of Defense released the "Report on China's Military Strength," in which the U.S. Department of Defense claimed: "The trend of China's military modernization will give China the ability to launch a series of military operations in the Asian region, not only against Taiwan, but also to other military forces in the region." ”

Taiwan's "Central News Agency" and other media reprinted part of the report on the same day and interviewed Junhiko Kawamura, former commander of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's Air Self-Defense Group.

Kawamura asserted that Taiwan's strategic position in East Asia is unquestionable, and it has a close bearing on the smooth flow of Japan's maritime lifeline, and that in the face of China's military threat, not only the United States and Japan should strengthen alliance and cooperation, but also Taiwan, the United States, and Japan.

Moreover, Japan has always regarded itself as the world's second largest and Asia's boss, and Japan has always wanted to dominate Asia, and it has always been Japan that is most uneasy about China's rise.

Before 1996, Japan was relatively reserved in its external affairs. On the issue of meddling in the Taiwan Strait, Japan's terminology is vague, for example, on the question of "peripheral affairs", when China asks it to answer whether the "periphery" includes the Taiwan Strait, it is noncommittal, although some more frank or more blatant conservative politicians say that if the Taiwan Strait is not included, then why redefine it? But there are also more moderate, so-called "modest" or incumbent politicians who have to say this: "Ambiguity is our policy." ”

This continued until the February 2005 "2+2" meeting, the U.S.-Japan summit on defense and foreign affairs. Since then, Japan has gone from "false ambiguity" to "true clarity," indicating that it wants to meddle in the Taiwan Strait issue.

Now, however, Japan's master, the United States, is talking about the Taiwan issue with Chinese, and this is tantamount to a slap in the face to Japan, which has always considered itself to be the "boss of Asia" and the "hegemon of Asia," and this slap has made the Japanese realize: Don't look at the fact that we talk about Japan-US relations all day long, but that is just the master's practice of praising the slaves; in the eyes of the United States, no matter what time it is, the Japanese are just the slaves of the Americans, and the slaves ...... Do you have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with the host and negotiate together?

This slap really hit the Japanese hard.

At this time, the Japanese realized that the distance between the mainland and Taiwan had become infinitely close, so close that the mainland would even be able to take Taiwan into its arms the next moment. And because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the recent Iranian nuclear crisis, the United States, which is overstretched in military strength and cannot even send even one aircraft carrier group to the Taiwan Strait region, is unable to say the phrase "Where is our aircraft carrier?" that has always made the United States proud. After the United States, which has always pursued the principle of "truth coming out from under its fists," had to engage in a humiliating diplomatic negotiation with China, there was a slight change in public opinion in Japan.

There is no doubt that, given the current situation in Japanese society, this change is a move by politicians behind the scenes...... Japan also wants to participate in the current negotiations on military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, and for this reason, Japanese Ambassador to the United States Kojiro Hatoyama even did not hesitate to go to meet with President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza in the middle of the night. Rice, as well as Minister Li of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, hope that Japan will be able to participate in this meeting.

Regarding this proposal put forward by Kojiro Hatoyama on behalf of the Japanese government, Minister Li simply refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hatoyama, I don't think it is necessary for Japan to participate in this meeting, because this matter is China's internal affair, and allowing Japan to participate in it is a rude involvement in China's internal affairs." ”

Kojiro Hatoyama was immediately annoyed: Is our Japan's participation in this meeting a rude involvement in your internal affairs? So how can Americans get involved? Isn't their involvement a rude* involvement in your internal affairs?

Hatoyama Kojiro, who touched his gray nose, went away angrily, and Hatoyama Kojiro, who felt that Japan was insulted and despised by him, decided to go back and suggest to His Excellency Shinzo Abe to prove to the Americans and Chinese by some powerful means that Japan was qualified to participate in this meeting.
