In recent years, it has adopted an increasingly aggressive stance against the island and its ruling Democrat Progressive Party (DPP), which has been criticized as a dangerous separatist, but it was an unprecedented third in the early last year. I’ve achieved a period. At the same time, the United States has strengthened its financial, military and rhetorical support for Taiwan’s continued independence.
Last year, US commander of Indo-Pacific Admiral John Aquilino said since World War II, China has been saying that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) wants to build a “PLA.”
Beijing and Washington were “desensitized” to the risks posed by these circumstances, foreign policy said, “Because they were unable to grasp the full importance of foreign policy militarization and its militarization, the pair were one It was an accident and bad decisions were removed from the devastating war.”
“It will be one of the most dangerous and consequential events of the 21st century,” the Times in April 2023 said. “The Russian attack on Ukraine looks like a sideshow in comparison,” he said.
Human costs aside, the military conflict between the two biggest economic forces in the world was that in 2023, Guardian economics editor Larry Elliott “deprives confidence, stolen confidence, crashes asset prices.” It will lead to something. Economic outcomes up to the second Great Fear Presion. ”

Vladimir Putin shares his goal of avoiding “World War I 3” and says Russia is “open to dialogue between Ukraine and the new US administration on nuclear weapons,” Trump said. We welcomed the return to the White House.
But even as they hope for a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine to grow, NATO’s Eastern European members have dramatically increased their defensive spending as they try to protect their borders.
Almost three years after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, Francis Tusa has come to independent, saying that “liberal democratic” states across Europe have “consented.” Actions against the Baltic States, Finland and even Poland.”
Many defense experts agree that this timeline is “within three to five years” and force NATO to a full conflict with Moscow.

middle east
After more than a year of instability that saw the Middle East at risk by an all-out regional war, we hope that the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas will ultimately lead to a break-up of tensions .

The ceasefire began with a fatal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, after a turbulent 15 months following the invasion of Gaza, the major weakening of Hezbollah in Lebanon and the collapse of the Assad regime. We hope to mark a turning point in this region. In Syria.
Perhaps the effects these events have had on Iran are most concerned. The Tehran administration’s “increasing vulnerability” has made the government wary, the Washington Post said, “The fear that the conflict with Israel could escalate steadily could soon enter a more dangerous phase.” He said.

Since then, the South has scrapped the “2018 Non-Attack Agreement” aimed at lowering military tensions, Independence said. This indicates that “psychological warfare” was “leaning towards actual escalation.”
With further signs, North Korea is pleased to wield its influence across borders, but its troops are deployed against Ukraine to support Russian war efforts. Last month, Ukrainian President Voldymi Zelensky said Kiev had captured two North Korean soldiers, but it is believed that around 300 people were killed in the war, according to Seoul’s National Intelligence Agency.
North Korean units reportedly were drawn from the frontline after experiencing a high rate of casualties that would punish them with. However, former Ukrainian military commander Valerie Zalzny said North Korea’s involvement in the conflict, in a sense, means that World War III has already begun.
