The DPP authorities have been in a slew of some Western media, constantly hyping and exaggerating the so-called "mainland threat", claiming that more than 940 PLA military aircraft have entered the "airspace" of Taiwan Island , twice the total in the past two years. U.S. Department of Defense officials also said that strengthening Taiwan’s so-called “self-defense” is an urgent task. On December 30, Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of Defense and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, emphasized that the People's Liberation Army regularly cruises around Taiwan and organizes joint combat readiness patrols from multiple military forces near Taiwan, and practices in practical exercises near Taiwan. "The actual number of aircraft racks dispatched will only be more and will not be less than the number of speculations made by the DPP authorities." Tan Kefei pointed out that the Chinese People's Liberation Army has no choice but to defend national sovereignty and security and curb "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
Ministry of National Defense: The PLA normally practices near Taiwan Island have clear goals
Tan Kefei introduced at the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense held on the 30th that in 2021, in response to the interference and provocations of some countries on issues such as Taiwan and South China Sea , the PLA resolutely carried out military countermeasures and organized targeted exercises and training activities.
Tan Kefei said that since the beginning of this year, the People's Liberation Army has organized bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, fighter aircraft, fighter aircraft, etc. to carry out patrols, and organized joint combat readiness patrols around Taiwan. They organized joint sea and airspace near Taiwan, including joint sea assault, joint land strike, joint air defense operations and other practical drills. The actual number of aircraft dispatched will be more and more hyped than the DPP authorities. The goal is very clear, that is, to fight back with decisive actions to frequently connect forces on and outside the island and challenge the bad behavior of one-China principle, resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and effectively safeguard the common welfare of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan Army: PLA 056A and 054 ships are fixed around the Taiwan Strait
DPP authorities have continued to hype the "mainland military threat" in recent years, and intend to launch a series of so-called "response" measures against the mainland, open a column to publish the so-called "instant military dynamics" of the People's Liberation Army, and deliberately create an atmosphere of cross-strait military confrontation on the island. Taiwan Navy Chief of Staff Jiang Zhengguo recently confirmed when responding to the Taiwan legislative structure inquiry that the fixed occurrence of activities around the Taiwan Strait is the PLA's 1,500-ton 056A and 054 frigate .
Taiwan Army has established a "National Defense Mobilization" organization
In addition, the so-called "National Defense Mobilization" organization of Taiwan’s defense department was unveiled on the 30th and will be officially launched on January 1, 2022. It is said that the institution's tasks include continuous and sophisticated training, establishing a cross-ministerial cooperation mechanism, and timely revising the mobilization plan. The so-called "People's Defense Manual" that was previously high-profile hype is also reportedly under formulation. Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the DPP authorities, threatened at the inauguration ceremony of the agency, "to let the world see Taiwan's determination to persevere." Taiwanese officials also declared that they hope to strengthen the reserve affairs of US-Taiwan exchanges in the future.
Ministry of National Defense: The People's Liberation Army of China is unshirkable to curb "Taiwan independence"
In response to the situation in the Taiwan Strait, Tan Kefei said that the root cause of the escalating tension in the Taiwan Strait lies in the "independence" provocation of the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces' attempts to "independence" provocations and the external forces' attempts to "use Taiwan to control China". He stressed that the Chinese People's Liberation Army has no choice but to defend national sovereignty and security and curb "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
In response to the DPP authorities' attempt to "use force to seek independence" and "use force to resist unification", Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, also said that "use force to resist unification" is a dead end! (Source: China Taiwan Network )
