Hello, Professor Xie. Hello, everyone. Recently, there was a report that the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are called the Five Eyes Alliance. The report said that the PLA is using private companies set up in South America and China to target Western pilots. It is said to provide a generous salary to recruit. What do you think of the CCP's action? What does this mean? First of all, the CCP obviously wants these pilots to learn the advanced military technology and military training of the Five Eyes Alliance. We know that the CCP's aircraft, whether it's pilots or aircraft, fighter jets, seem to have learned a lot. But in fact, they have no actual combat experience and have not been tested on the battlefield. If it really doesn't work, I don't think the outside world knows. The CCP itself may not even know. The Chinese say that if you lose, you lose. If you take it out and walk around, you may not even have a chance to walk around. But I think the target Western pilots are really trying to learn the military technology of the West. For example, these Western pilots know a little bit. For example, some of the equipment and functions inside the fighter jet, or some of the ability to fight. There is also the ability to maneuver in the air. Through recruiting these pilots, they can train the CCP's own pilots. They can also understand the training of the Western air force. How many hours of training, what kind of training, etc. Many of these Western pilots are retired, retired. There is no issue of confidentiality, or not so serious. As long as the CCP is happy, many Chinese people will do it. We have found that there are many such cases. When these people are in the United States or in Australia, they may face the accusation of the government and the military of their own country. Because it may involve leaking some military secrets. So this thing shows that the CCP needs to learn the military technology, military training and military ability of the West. In fact, it is also using this to develop its own air force. Is it necessary to prepare for war? Yes, I think the CCP has been preparing for war. I think the CCP has been preparing in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. It may even be accelerating the preparation. This kind of training is aimed at Western pilots. Or if you use them to help train, it may not be. I think this is a long-term project, a long-term project. Because it is a systematic study. As for whether it is directly related to war, I don't think so. Because after all, some of the planes operated by Western pilots are very different from the Russian-style planes given by the CCP. It is not that it can be used immediately. But at least the military thinking of the West, military training, military training, these assessments, these things can be learned. In addition, I saw a U.S. official report that the Indian economy has clearly had an opportunity to invest more than $2.3 billion. What do you think is the impact of this on the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative? Yes, we just talked about it in the last question. Biden said that the Belt and Road Initiative is a hateful industry. But in fact, what is hateful is that these Belt and Road projects put a lot of countries in debt. These countries have a lot of facilities, infrastructure, and equipment. In fact, these countries have no use, no need. Instead, it is beneficial to the CCP's own global strategy. And because there are so many debt traps in China's Belt and Road Initiative, the Western economic framework is actually competing in the Belt and Road Initiative. It is to make those countries realize the CCP's debt trap. The wolf ambition behind the CCP wants to attract them. This $2.3 billion investment opportunity, I think, is a good start. It will make these countries along the way come out of the CCP's very hateful initiative. Basically, it is to fight against the CCP, to tear down the CCP's stage. In addition, I saw a report that the U.S. Department of Defense Security Cooperation Bureau recently announced a new round of arms sales to Taiwan. The total value is $300 million. It is mainly F-16 fighter jets, backup and repair parts. How powerful is this F-16 fighter jet? What do you think? I'm not a military expert, but I can only say that I'm a military enthusiast. But from the perspective of international politics and military, F-16 fighter jets are very advanced in other countries, including Taiwan. Their performance in the news is also very good. The F-15, F-16, and F-18 marines are all very good, such as ordinary air force, land forces, air force, and aircraft and military aircraft that are used by the Air Force. However, in the United States, they are actually not the most advanced. We say that the most advanced in the United States is the F-22 In the United States, the F-22 cannot even export. The U.S. government prohibits export of the F-22. It developed an F-35 based on the very advanced air-to-air combat aircraft F-22, which you may be familiar with. The F-35 has now been exported to places like Israel, Japan, and even Australia. I remember it seems to be in the hands of these American loyal allies and air forces. The F-35 also has different versions for air forces. It can be used by the navy on aircraft carriers, and it can also be used in naval operations. This is the most advanced. The F-16 is very old, but it is very capable. Even now, in the middle of the Russian-Russian war, the West is ready to export the F-16 to Ukraine. This has also aroused Russian vigilance. Although it is not the most advanced, it can still pose a threat to Russia. In China, if Taiwan has the F-16, of course Taiwan wants to buy the F-35, but the United States may not. If the F-16 is equipped, it poses a great threat to the CCP's existing warplanes. The CCP's warplanes, including its own engine warplanes, have not really been tested on the battlefield. The F-16 has been tested on the battlefield for a very long time around the world. It is a very good warplane. Therefore, it is very important for the US to provide F-16 equipment and maintenance for the first round of military sales last year. This will strengthen Taiwan's air force and make it superior to the CCP. I saw a US intelligence report on the Taiwan issue. Biden emphasized that if the CCP tries to change the status quo unilaterally, the US will not sit idly by. It seems that the US does not rule out the use of force to defend Taiwan. Yes, basically the US is still in a state of strategic ambiguity. It has not said that it will use force. It has not said that it will not use force. This is a strategic ambiguity threat to the CCP. Even from the US, China, and mainland China, Shanghai, Jianqiao, and Guangbao, and the US-Taiwan law, the Taiwan Relations Act, the US is firmly opposed to it. The US has tried to change the status quo in three areas. Of course, this includes the CCP's use of force against Taiwan. It also includes Taiwan's official declaration of independence. Therefore, the US policy has not changed. In recent years, it has become more and more tough. The US has more and more troops in Taiwan. Therefore, if Biden talks to the CCP like this, it will not only restrain the US-China relations, but also restrain and abide by the Taiwan Relations Act. This is also a threat to the CCP. I can't rule out the possibility that the US will intervene militarily. This should be Biden's warning to the CCP.
