A few days ago, the Taiwan Navy's "Dunmu Fleet" Panshi ship suddenly broke out of the largest cluster infection on the island, with a total of 28 people confirmed. Faced with various doubts about concealing reports and delaying reports from outside, the relevant data have been chaotic, and the Taiwan military has also "escaped at the last minute" and will not attend the press conference. Until the evening of April 21, Taiwan’s defense department temporarily held a press conference on the “Navy Preliminary Investigation”. Yan Defa, head of the defense department, led military representatives to attend the meeting and bowed deeply to apologize to the public. At the same time, the Taiwan authorities' "defense department" "pledged for punishment" and announced the list of punishments, transferring Major General Chen Daohui, the captain of the fleet, from his current position on the grounds that he had "not reported the epidemic."
However, Chen Daohui first expressed his apology to the society, and then he emphasized emotionally, "I am willing to use my life to ensure that there is no concealment of the epidemic." Chen Daohui said: As a soldier, it is better to die at sea or on a ship than to let the virus harm others. Chen Daohui also said that if he knew that someone had been infected with the new coronavirus, he would definitely order him to return immediately. However, he did not have the authority to decide when the officers and soldiers would be disbanded after they arrived at the port. In response to this, Taiwanese netizens bluntly said: The Taiwan authorities are looking for someone to take the blame again?
It is worth noting that under pressure from all parties, Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen delivered a “Open Hall Talk” at 11 a.m. on the 22nd and finally came forward to apologize. Tsai Ing-wen said: The infection incident of the Navy's "Dunmu Fleet" has attracted great attention from the society. She is the "commander of the three armies". "The affairs of the National Army are mine. This time the National Army has had so many violations in epidemic prevention work." She wants to apologize. Tsai Ing-wen also said that she has asked to clarify the truth in the shortest time, and to clarify the responsibilities after investigation, she will never protect her shortcomings. In response to this, the island asked Tsai Ing-wen to shoulder the responsibility. "Captain of Dunmu Detachment" Chen Daohui was transferred to the grassroots level of the Navy, arousing public outrage, believing that the "Ministry of National Defense" and the DPP authorities used Taiwanese military cadres as shields.
As we all know, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the DPP authorities have gone further and further on the road of "using the epidemic to seek independence", from the initial embargo of masks to the mainland, and then they have tried their best to "squeeze" to the WHO, and now promote "Taiwan's reputation correction" and "mask diplomacy" in various fields, and have smeared the mainland. After a brief apology, Tsai Ing-wen re-provoked the old tune and continued to incite cross-strait confrontation. She claimed that in the face of the mainland's military actions during the epidemic, the Taiwan military must stick to its posts and respond at any time. She asked the Taiwan military to defend Taiwan and the people not to relax for a moment, especially in the current situation in the Taiwan Strait. The mainland's military moves frequently. All necessary combat readiness exercises and training during the epidemic must be carried out to maintain normal combat power and combat readiness.
In fact, the Ministry of National Defense has previously stated that the People's Liberation Army organized a series of military operations such as combat readiness cruises and joint exercises, aiming to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and safeguard the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and target the "Taiwan independence" forces and their separatist activities. Taiwan is part of China and warns the DPP authorities not to play with fire. Any attempt to split Taiwan from China is doomed to fail.
