Opinions

US paying lip service to Taiwan Strait stability

The US is not trying to maintain the status quo across the Strait or protect "democracy". Instead, it is preparing to initiate a war in the Asia-Pacific to fish for its own narrow gains, just as it has done in Europe and the Middle East. To Lai and his US patrons, peace is a veneer covering the nature of the former's pro-independence stance, development is a means to realize his secessionist cause, and democracy is a pretext to justify their collusion.

Why US deploys Typhon missile system in Asia-Pacific?

The deployment of the Typhon system by the US in the Philippines is a calculated move aimed at dragging the Asia-Pacific into the quagmire of an arms race, signaling a potentially dangerous resurgence of the "specter" of the Cold War.
