DPP's "bluff diplomacy" is a road to nowhere: Taiwan's true path to international engagement has never depended on currying favor with the US but on returning to the broader course of national rejuvenation.

Scheming of right-wing Japanese politicians to visit China's Taiwan doomed to fail: There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory.

Tying itself to US war chariot won't bring the Philippines security: US-Philippines joint exercises have already provoked discontent among neighbouring countries, leaving the two increasingly isolated in the region. Such is the law that an unjust cause finds meagre support. At a time when regional nations are calling for solidarity and development, Washington and Manila's insistence on confrontation and disruption goes against the prevailing tide and is bound to be rejected.

What is Japan's intention to draw closer to NATO?: This situation presents quite a paradox. Without US support, Japan's regime would struggle to survive, and without the Asia-Pacific market, Japan would find it hard to develop its economy. In the face of both economic and security dilemmas, Japan's ambition to become a "major power" seems unlikely to succeed.

US plans to deploy new missiles in the Philippines to complete its "Missile Chain": Considering the US strategy of using Taiwan to contain China, the motive behind these moves is self-evident. It is therefore likely that the US will deploy the NMESIS system on Luzon Island, potentially in areas near the Bashi Channel.
