US is using Taiwan to create crisis in Asia, Russia spoke in support of China

China-Russia News: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko on Sunday accused the United States of using Taiwan to foment a serious crisis in Asia. He made this statement to Russian news agency TASS and reiterated Moscow's support for China's "One China" principle. Rudenko accused the US of increasing arms supplies to Taiwan and strengthening military-political ties, which he described as a violation of the "status quo".

Russia's allegation: US selfish agenda

Rudenko said that US interference in regional affairs, especially in the context of Taiwan, is deliberately to provoke the People's Republic of China (PRC). He described it as part of the US strategy to foment a crisis in Asia. Russia's statement comes at a time when tensions between Taiwan and China are high, and the US is emerging as the island's biggest international supporter and arms supplier.

Eye on US-Taiwan relations

Taiwan, which China considers its territory, operates under an independent and democratic system of governance. However, the Taiwanese government has rejected China's claim. The US, which has not given formal diplomatic recognition to Taiwan, has emerged as its biggest international ally. In September 2023, US President Joe Biden approved $567 million in military aid to Taiwan, increasing Taiwan's defense capability.

China and Russia's response

China and Russia have strongly criticized this policy of the US. Russia has clearly stated that it stands with China against US intervention in Asia. China, which considers Taiwan as its integral part, considers the supply of arms and international support to Taiwan a threat to its sovereignty.

The "No Borders" partnership between Russia and China was announced in February 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. This partnership presents a united front against the US and its allies. In May this year, the two countries promised a "new era" partnership, which the US saw as a Cold War-like aggressive strategy.

Tensions in Asia: Global Impact

The Taiwan dispute has raised geopolitical tensions in Asia to new heights. The US supply of arms to Taiwan and increasing its military presence in the region has deepened tensions between China and the US. This tension is affecting security and stability not only in Asia but globally.

Russia and China's partnership has challenged the balance of power in the region. Russia's stand with China on the Taiwan issue indicates a changing strategic situation in Asia. Russia and China have described the US policy as a move to "spread chaos", which could be a sign of a new cold war in Asia.

Conclusion

The Taiwan issue has become a major conflict point in Asia, where the interests of the US, China, and Russia are clashing. While China and Russia are adopting an aggressive stance due to the US support to Taiwan, it has become a serious challenge to regional and global stability. In this complex situation, diplomacy and dialogue are the only means that can reduce the rising tensions.
