Since the incident of Pelosi's attempt to travel to Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army has been carrying out a normalized deterrent cruise around Taiwan. According to the Taiwan Defense Department's notice, on October 7, the last day of the National Day holiday, the People's Liberation Army dispatched eight military aircraft and four military aircraft to carry out deterrent cruises in the Taiwan Strait.
It is reported that during the National Day holiday, the People's Liberation Army's deterrent cruise in the Taiwan Strait continued. On October 2, the People's Liberation Army dispatched 22 military aircraft and 4 military ships of and to cruise in the Taiwan Strait, which was the day with the largest number of equipment during the National Day holiday.
The Taiwan authorities still look like they are fussing about the PLA military aircraft and warship patrols. They not only inform the PLA military patrols of Taiwan every day, but also dispatch missile troops to track PLA military aircraft.
And during the National Day holiday, the United States was also very restless on the Taiwan Strait issue. It is reported that on October 5, US media published an article saying that the United States is turning Taiwan into a "huge arsenal" to fight mainland China.
The article mentioned that the United States is promoting military "cooperation" between the United States and Taiwan to help the Taiwan military develop "asymmetric combat power." The Taiwan authorities are also actively cooperating with the United States and plan to extend the military service to improve the combat effectiveness of the Taiwan military.
As soon as the US media report was released, it immediately attracted public attention. Against the backdrop of increasingly tense Sino-US relations, the situation described in US media reports will undoubtedly intensify tension in the Taiwan Strait.
And the Taiwan authorities may be in order to cool down the situation, so on October 7, the head of Taiwan's administrative agency Su Zhenchang said that the sensational title of the US media is not a fact.
However, Hong Kong media believes that although Su Zhenchang claimed that the US media’s reports were not facts, judging from what the United States has done in the past year, the situation in the report is obviously not groundless.
, and the Taiwan authorities are also fully cooperating with the United States to enhance military "cooperation" between the United States and Taiwan. Moreover, when answering related questions, Su Zhenchang also admitted that the Taiwan authorities are indeed "preparing for war".
According to reports, Su Zhenchang said that the Taiwan authorities are preparing war materials, including weapons, food and medical supplies, among which the grain reserves are enough to last for a year.
From Su Zhenchang's statement, the Taiwan authorities seem to be ready to "fight a protracted war" with the mainland when the conflict breaks out, but in fact, the preparations of the Taiwan authorities are meaningless at all.
You should know that the strength gap between Taiwan Army and the People's Liberation Army is not an average. Once a conflict breaks out, with the strength of the Taiwan military, it will not last for a year.
It is reported that relevant institutions on the island have conducted a "poll" before, asking the public whether they believe that the Taiwan military can last for 100 days while "the mainland attacks Taiwan".
The results show that more than half of the respondents did not believe it at all, or did not believe that the Taiwan military could last for 100 days. Therefore, there is no point in preparing food for one year in Taiwan.
Although the Taiwan authorities have been "brainwashing" the people on the island and boasting about the strength of the Taiwan military, the previous PLA military exercises and continuous deterrent cruises have made the people and media on the island realize the gap between the Taiwan military and the People's Liberation Army.
So, once the conflict breaks out, the food prepared by the Taiwan authorities may not be useful at all. After all, with the strength of the Taiwan military, the "mainland attack on Taiwan" may not take long to end.
Of course, the mainland has always emphasized that peaceful reunification is still the primary goal, and means of force are only the last resort that cannot be used, so the current "preparation for war" by the Taiwan authorities is obviously a provocation to the mainland.
In response to this, Hong Kong media bluntly stated in the report that Taiwan’s security cannot rely on “preparation for war”, but on avoiding war. In other words, only by striving to ease relations with the mainland and promote peaceful reunification of the cross-strait can the Taiwan authorities have long-term stability.
report pointed out that different "polls" on the island previously showed that nearly 80% of Taiwanese people believe that peaceful exchanges between cross-strait relations should be maintained. It can be seen that cross-strait peace is the mainstream public opinion of Taiwan compatriots, and of course it is also the common voice of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
However, the Taiwan authorities have frequently issued relevant policies regardless of their name to incite "anti-China and protect Taiwan" and for their own political interests, they are willing to push the people on the island to the brink of danger.
. The mainland has always emphasized that peaceful reunification is the first choice, and non-peaceful methods are the last choice. Neither the Taiwan authorities nor the United States should force the mainland to adopt a non-peaceful approach to achieve unification.
More importantly, the stability of the Taiwan Strait and the security of the Taiwan region cannot be achieved through the verbal commitments of the United States, but by the joint efforts of the mainland and the Taiwan authorities. Therefore, if the Taiwan authorities want to ensure safety, they should do to avoid war rather than "prepare for war". At the same time, the Taiwan authorities should also understand that only by unification can Taiwan achieve true peace and stability. We advise them to do so and not to seek trouble.
