(Observer Network News) The ties between the United States and Taiwan have become increasingly tight in recent days. In response, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army organized naval and air forces to conduct drills in the Taiwan Strait starting from the 18th. Today (19th), our military aircraft entered the Taiwan Air Defense Identification Zone again.
Under the "increased pressure" of our military, some wings of the Taiwan Air Force set a record for the take-off frequency of fighter jets yesterday. Today they even shouted, "Turn back and disengage immediately, and you will bear all the consequences." This made the Taiwanese media extremely excited, lamenting that "the 'National Army' is too hard." Get up!"
According to Taiwan media reports, starting from 7 o'clock this morning, the People's Liberation Army continued to enter the Taiwan Strait airspace from multiple directions, multiple batches, and multiple air layers. The Taiwan Air Force continued to broadcast eviction procedures for the People's Liberation Army aircraft in the western, northwest, and southwest airspace.
Taiwanese media said that at about 9:20 local time, the content of the Taiwan Air Force’s broadcast to a common aircraft at an altitude of 7,000 meters in the western airspace was different from the past. The content read: "'Republic of China' Air Force broadcast, Chinese Communist military aircraft located at an altitude of 7,000 meters in the western airspace of Taiwan." Attention! You are approaching my airspace and affecting my flight safety. Turn away immediately and bear all the consequences."
A so-called "military fan" in Taiwan provided the audio to the media.
Faced with this unheard air force broadcast, the Taiwanese media seemed very excited and followed up the report with the title "The National Army is getting tough!"
Taiwanese media said that this was "(the Taiwan military's) first heavy-duty broadcast response" and "the strong tone is different from the content of past broadcasts", and quoted a so-called Taiwanese military fan as saying, "Strong content like 'National Army' reflects our Military Broadcasting does not 'read from the script'."
Yesterday, Taiwan's "Ministry of Defense" stated that the People's Liberation Army dispatched 2 H-6Ks, 8 J-16s, 4 J-11s, 4 J-10s, and a total of 18 fighters in multiple batches and in multiple directions. The bomb entered the southwestern and western air defense identification zones of Taiwan. Taiwan media claimed that some PLA fighter jets called the "Central Line of the Strait" and the Taiwan military shouted, "You have flown over the 'Central Line of the Strait' and immediately turn away." The PLA pilots responded "domineeringly": "There is no 'Central Line of the Strait'."
Taiwanese military sources said that the PLA pilots responded in a standard way. Now they will say this whenever they cross the "center line". There is no emotional dialogue between the two sides.

The U.S. Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Krachi led a delegation to visit Taiwan on the afternoon of the 17th, and the special plane arrived in Taipei at 17:23 Beijing time. Taiwanese media are hyping up today that this is the highest-level official visit to Taiwan by the U.S. State Department since 1979.
The farewell ceremony for the body of former Taiwan leader Lee Teng-hui was held today. Former Japanese Prime Ministers Yoshiro Mori and Krachi were present.
html On September 18, the State Council Information Office published the white paper "Chinese Army's Participation in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations for 30 Years" and held a press conference at 10 a.m. Ren Guoqiang, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, said at the press conference: Starting today, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army will organize actual combat exercises near the Taiwan Strait. This is a legitimate and necessary action taken in response to the current situation across the Taiwan Strait and to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Taiwan is a sacred and indivisible part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs and does not tolerate any external interference.This article is an exclusive manuscript of Observer.com and may not be reproduced without authorization.
