How Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan Visit Helped China Score Major Geopolitical Victory_我的网站
A | "Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is a symbolic move in the context of a war for geopolitical advantage," says Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett, a professor emeritus at Bowling Green State University. "Her critics, not unreasonably, decry it as a gesture that might carry very painful consequences for the world and for the human species.",Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei on August 2 in defiance of Beijing's protests. The US House speaker had kept her trip to the island secret until the very last moment. However, the American and Taiwanese press extensively speculated about her visit with the White House signaling that there would be nothing "uncommon" if Pelosi decided to arrive in Taipei.,Prior to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, President Biden held talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and expressed his commitment to the "One China principle." In response, Xi Jinping warned the US president about the possible negative consequences of Pelosi's visit. Nonetheless, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated on August 1 that the US "shouldn’t be intimidated by [China's] rhetoric or... potential actions.",The way, in which the White House handled Pelosi's controversial visit, "speaks volumes about the incompetence of the US government from top to bottom," believes US investigative journalist and author Daniel Lazare.,"Biden could have put a stop to this nonsense any time he wanted to," says Lazare. "He could have issued a public appeal not to go, which, if strong enough, would have essentially left the speaker with no choice. He could have taken away her military plane. He could have ordered the USS Ronald Reagan to reverse course in order to show that the last thing he wants is some sort of confrontation. But he did none of those things. Instead, he clung to the fiction that it was her call and that the Chinese have no right to get upset, which couldn't be more absurd.",US-China Tensions Over TaiwanSix F-15 Fighters and Three Tanker Aircraft 'Take Off From US Okinawa Base' as Pelosi Leaves Taiwan3 August, 09:49 GMT,Pelosi's Visit Inflicted Damage on US, Taiwan,Nancy Pelosi and the White House's snub of China's warnings won't give any boost to the US image, quite the contrary, warn the observers. According to Lazare, the latest incident is "going to undermine [the US] position all the more by (indicating) just how unreliable a world leader he really is.","[US] President [Joe] Biden, citing his own military, is said to have disapproved of the visit," explains Boyd-Barrett. "That he presents himself to the world as a leader who cannot reign in the country’s No. 3, or who lacks the authority to simply instruct the commanders of Pelosi’s military escorts to damn well turn back, with Pelosi inside a cage if needs be, seals his image as either hopelessly weak or shamefully complicit in some filthy maneuver. Either one of these is extremely unlikely to be to the advantage of anyone in the US who is not a part of the neocon cabal that dominates US foreign policy.",Make no mistake, China has perceived the House speaker's trip to Taiwan as a sheer provocation, the professor continued, adding that Beijing's position is "entirely understandable in the wake of many factors." These factors include Trump's tariff war with China; the US military encirclement of the People's Republic; Washington's Freedom of Navigation Operations in the South China Sea; as well as US "hostility to China’s [Belt-and-Road] global economic clout," according to the professor.,"To these bones of contention must now be added China’s ever-tightening relationship to Russia, its importance as an ally to Russia in opposition to NATO’s provoked war with Russia over Ukraine, and its role as an important sanctions-busting consumer of Russian oil and gas," he notes.,While the high-ranking US official's Taiwanese trip has already dealt a heavy blow to US-China relations, it may also backfire on Taiwan, warns the academic.,"Taiwan’s neoliberal elite may take some comfort in their close relations with the US and the military aid that it represents," says Boyd-Barrett. "Others will be more doubtful, especially those many Taiwanese whose prosperity depends on business and trade with the mainland. Mainland China is Taiwan’s largest export destination.",China has suspended natural sand exports to Taiwan and has blocked imports of Taiwanese citrus fruits, chilled white scallops and frozen mackerel in the wake of Pelosi's visit to Taipei, according to the South China Morning Post.,US-China Tensions Over Taiwan‘Those Who Offend China Will Be Punished’: Beijing Vows Sanctions Over Pelosi's Visit to Taiwan3 August, 07:02 GMT,Winners and Losers,While Washington is bragging of boosting its image as a global power in the aftermath of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, China has scored a major victory, argues Huang Zonghao, a researcher at the Taiwan Research Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.,"China reacted very quickly and immediately announced the military drills," says Huang. "[These drills] differ from all previous exercises in their scale, as they have covered six areas around the island. In the past, most of the Chinese military aircraft in the Taiwan Air Defense Identification Zone flew in the northeast, southwest, or cruised with military aircraft and bypassed warships. Now we are using this opportunity to conduct comprehensive military exercises, and it is likely that we will use this as an excuse to conduct this kind of military exercises on a permanent basis.",According to Huang, after this type of drills and exercises become a norm, some military preparations can be made for the liberation of Taiwan in the future. The researcher stresses that, more importantly, the People's Liberation Army's recent drills symbolize that China's military power has very clearly extended to the western Pacific and even challenged the established US strategy in the region. "This is the most important result," says Huang.,The researcher notes that some netizens reacted very emotionally to Pelosi's landing in Taipei wondering as to why Beijing had not sent fighter jets to intercept and escort the House speaker's plane. "Personally, I don't think it was necessary," notes Huang, adding that this could have fanned an anti-China sentiment in the US while bringing no tangible fruits for Beijing.,"In fact, China's power projection has extended far beyond the strait and straight into the western Pacific," he emphasizes. "In terms of containing Taiwan's independence efforts, this is a big step forward. The pressure on the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party will also increase."。 小松花： 见信好。 此时此刻，你的生物学父亲（并不是每个男人都有我这样十足的信心，这份信心源自对你伟大母亲的信任），也就是我，正在香港大学深圳医院昏暗的待产房里，听着中央空调和血压仪收缩的声音，窝在充满抓痕的旧沙发上，用iPad敲下这些文字，为你出生的过程做些记录，也让未来我们一起回忆这段甜蜜时光时，能提升一点颗粒度。
B | 套用当下最流行的MBTI十六型人格理论，你是一个很J的孩子。
C | 你在妈妈肚子里待满40周的预产期是10月18日，由于你的很多姨姨都在满37周发动，所以早在国庆假期前，你同样很J的母亲就做好了致敬前辈的准备，敦促我收拾好了待产包和住院的行李，还威逼我把电脑搬出你的房间。于是我丧失了独自熬夜玩《空洞骑士：丝之歌》的机会（愿你也能玩到这么好的游戏）。只能说我因此增加的寿命，背后也有你对我的一片孝心。 但在接下来的三周里，你安如磐石，岿然不动，除了略微提升刺激宫缩的频率，并快速怒长2斤之外，没有任何积极到来的迹象。考虑到轻微妊糖和你的体重，医生建议我们10月18日一早到医院催产。
D | 听说你已逼近7斤，又查阅了催产的痛苦，你怕疼的母亲一度流下不甘的泪水。 然而10月18日凌晨5点，你本来做好悲壮准备的母亲开始感受到规律的疼痛，在疼痛持续半小时后，我们意识到情况不同以往，晚些洗澡时脱落的宫颈粘膜更是印证了这个判断。吃完了早饭（你妈妈很后悔只吃了一根芝士香肠），我们和你的奶奶和姥姥便打车前往医院，幸运地拿下最后一个套间，在检查室签署海量的文件。 等到我缴纳住院押金回来，听说已经开了一指——严格按照预产期自主发动的你，帮我们节省了好几天晚上的精力和房费。唯一的代价，可能只有起床太早，我把肥水流在了医院。 不过事情也并非一帆风顺。打过无痛正式待产后，你们的各项指标都特别优秀，我们一度觉得这不是产房，而是一辆信号满格的高铁。本以为下午就有生产的机会，可没想到悠闲地等了4个小时，也只是从四指过渡到了五指。
E | 先容你爹做一点爹味小科普：生宝宝就像是把一个乒乓球从气球里面挤出来，气球要不断被挤压，扩大吹气口，慢慢把小球排出，而宫缩就是这个挤压的过程。如果宫缩不够强力，宝宝出来得就没那么快，开指也达不到预期的速度。 这期间，我午饭吃了秋葵西洋菜肉末豆腐基围虾胡萝卜玉米排骨汤，晚饭又吃了菜心荷兰豆虫草花蒸鸡油焖茄子小蛋糕虫草花乌鸡汤。而你馋嘴的母亲因为打了无痛，被迫放弃刺身和榴莲计划，只能喝无渣流食，除了上述两道汤，她还喝了螺头松茸汤凉瓜元贝排骨汤番茄米汤原味米汤尖叫胡萝卜汁番石榴混合汁及椰子水两种。 吃吃睡睡，浑浑噩噩之下，好评如潮的助产士陈三妹已经下班，换了另一位组长：梅小英（梅姐）来跟进余下的产程。 梅姐介入后，做了两个令人肃然起敬的判断：第一，在发现四指到五指的时间太长，且胎心有所波动之后，判断数据不够准确，果断加了促进宫缩的药物；第二，在发现你的面部向一旁倾斜后，让你耐心的母亲侧趴着休息了一个小时，慢慢把你调整到了最容易生产的，面部朝下的方位，让你学着低下高贵的头颅。 熬到这里，产房当中已经没有其他产妇，所有等待下班的医护同志，都慈爱地渴盼你的诞生。在我无耻地借用值班医生消过毒的洞洞鞋，再用你原本的浴巾，以及值班医生的沐浴液洗了个澡之后，22点整，香气四溢的我，开始观摩紧张刺激的最后一轮产程。 在漫长的产程之下，你疲惫的母亲已经很难经历规律宫缩，获得辅助。像盼月，像祈雨，产房里的八个人一起等待每一阵微弱的潮汐。好多次你妈妈发力憋气时，我都同样屏住呼吸，不可抑制地出汗，一边看着她的脸浮现血丝，由白转红再转紫，一边把手扶在栏杆上，感受她双手的颤抖。 猛一点！往前推！非常好！头发露出来了！头皮露出来了！刺激宫缩的药物，从12ml/h一点点涨到了110ml/h，但长期无痛之后的低烧袭来，胎心一度飙升到了170以上，医生时不时就会建议先休息一段时间。不用力的时候，你淡定的母亲面色沉稳，一边啜饮运动饮料，一边养精蓄锐，准备最后的冲刺——顺带一提，她啜饮的样子很可爱，愿你喝奶时也有这么好的胃口。 如此循环往复，产程已经比预期超时了40分钟，你的头颅始终卡住。
F | 即便是你每周做三次瑜伽，在整个生产过程中没掉一滴眼泪的母亲，也因为降低了无痛剂量而有些扛不住。 终于，在接生台已经摆好之后，憋了太久的你污染了羊水，梅姐果断侧切，拉出了你这条通体青紫的东北小紫薯。一直到亲手剪断脐带，我都不敢相信我们制造出了一个人类。可当看着原本哭声嘹亮的你，趴在妈妈身上一下子安静下来，我内心深处还是涌现出人类最庸俗，也最质朴的感动。
G | 其实我和你强悍的妈妈都主导过不少项目。用社畜的视角复盘，生你简直是一场最绝望的项目管理。虽然项目有着清晰的流程和节点交付物，但几乎每个节点的时间都无法提前评估。
H | 然而这个处处失控，无比脆弱的流程，却造就了人类伟大的延续，也给每个渺小的个体带来了巨大的幸福。 写到这里，已经是10月19日。18日晚忙到凌晨4点，又在早上7点被医生叫醒的疲惫再次覆盖上来，但想一想今天几次探视你的时候，捏你的小脸、搓你的小脚，戳你的小腿，像胎教时那样对着你背诵诗词、唱晚安曲，再想一想跟你的姥姥姥爷、爷爷奶奶分享你的各种视频，我还是能感受到令人眩晕的催产素。 自2013年起，每年我都会在你妈妈过生日的时候给她写一封信。从今天起，我工作之外的截稿日又多了一个。
I | 虽然我是你爹，但我庄严承诺，写给你的信会尽量收一收爹味。我还要承诺，未来每一年，我都会努力写得比这篇流水账更好一点——不过想达到给你美丽的母亲写信的水平，我们还是要多处一处。 小松花，欢迎来到这个光怪陆离的世界。愿你常常健康，天天快乐，做什么都不太害怕，也不太后悔。 还有，虽然自私，但我还是要向你坦白：你是在我30岁这一年，我所收到的最珍贵的礼物。 你的生物学父亲托马斯 2025年10月19日 本文来自微信公众号：托马斯之颅，作者：托马斯之颅。
