In Beijing's eyes, any movement towards independence by Taiwan constitutes an enormous "provocation" to their nationalist sentiments. This is bad enough in itself, but if they also suspect that such moves are the result of US intervention in the form of "toleration" of moves towards independence, this undeniably makes the problem more complex and serious.
在中共眼中，台灣有走向台獨的傾向，業已對其民族主義的情緒構成了極大的「挑釁」，一之為甚，如在此之上，再被疑為台灣之走向台獨，居然還是美國「縱容」介入的結果，問題豈不更為複雜、更為嚴重？
