On June 26, German media quoted a so-called "popular survey result" from Taiwan, claiming that more than half of the Taiwanese people believe that once the mainland initiates military reunification, the Taiwan military will not last for a hundred days.
Relevant departments on the island frequently conduct similar polls, which is actually creating panic and selling anxiety. It is worth noting that in addition to 51% of the people who do not believe that the Taiwan military can last for a hundred days, 17.2% of the people who believe that the Taiwan military can survive, 20.6% of the people choose to basically believe that 28.6% of the people "do not believe it very much". This data is still very surprising, indicating that the propaganda of the DPP authorities has been relatively successful in temptation of the people.
The Taiwan authorities continue to exaggerate the outbreak of war in the Taiwan Strait, but the blood of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is thicker than water, and Taiwan is an inalienable territory of China. If the independence forces on the island actively agree with this, how could there be the topic of "military unification"? Moreover, the poll data on the island are becoming more and more exaggerated. From the early expectations that the Taiwan military could last for a week, and then to the arrival of the US military, now we have begun to discuss whether it can last for a hundred days. We are becoming more and more confused and confident.
It is quite ironic that while the "independence" forces on Taiwan are deceiving themselves, the United States, which is regarded as an important means of "refusing unification" by the "independence" forces, is constantly cracking down on the ambitions of the authorities on the island on this issue. Recently, American scholars Harris and McKinney made a fallacy, and they actually tried to accept the "scorched earth strategy" on the island. These two "scholars" believe that once the Taiwan Strait War broke out, the Taiwan military will not last for 14 hours. In such a short period of time, the US military will not be able to "rescue" at all. Therefore, these two scholars believe that the Taiwan authorities should pursue the "scorched earth strategy" to burn together to deter the "military unification", while the United States should gather its allies and formulate a series of sanctions plans to make China "pay the price in the fields of economy, technology, etc.."
American scholars gave a very familiar script. In fact, the sanctions faced by Russia are a preview of the future that the United States wants to impose sanctions on China. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, some Western politicians and media have tried to link the Taiwan Strait issue to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and their intentions are not uncommon.
First of all, Taiwan issue is China's housework, and Taiwan is an integral part of China. The Russian-Ukraine conflict is a breakthrough in Russia's strategic security. It can be seen that there is an essential difference between the two. Western politicians forcibly discussing the Taiwan Strait issue with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is in a sense a disguised support for the "independence" forces on the island.
What is the "scorched earth strategy"? If you understand it literally, it is to destroy or destroy anything that your opponent can use. When the strengths are very different, food and water sources will also become targets of destruction. Obviously, this is a trick of "killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 by themselves". It is hard to imagine that Western scholars who advocate the so-called " American democracy " all day long can come up with such a vicious plan to break through the bottom line, which directly exposes the mask of Western hypocrisy.
American scholars have allowed Taiwan to implement the "scorched earth strategy", just like Western politicians now isolated "Ukraine fights to the last person", they are all "watching the fun without much trouble."
is another "scorched earth strategy" and a large-scale sanctions jointly with Western allies. It can be seen that the US's desire to interfere in the Taiwan issue is still undead. There are some topics that the US government is not convenient for people to say in person, so they can only let these experts and scholars act as "mouth tongues". Nowadays, American scholars threaten that after the outbreak of military reunification, the Taiwan military will not last for 14 hours and encourage Taiwan to implement the "scorched earth strategy", mainly to achieve two goals.
First of all, since Biden came to power, the US government has played the "Taiwan card" more and more frequently, and has launched arms sales to Taiwan four times. On the one hand, the so-called experts and scholars in the United States advocated the "China threat theory" and exaggerated China's military development, created anxiety on Taiwan's island, and maintained a state of political confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait; on the other hand, they also provided advice for the Taiwan authorities on various occasions, from the "Porcupine Strategy" to the current "scorched earth strategy". These experts and scholars isolated the Taiwan authorities from purchasing different weapons from the United States by making a series of suggestions.Before, Taiwan had a "beathead decisive battle", the United States fooled Taiwan into buying a batch of anti-tank missiles, , armed helicopters, and spent a lot of money to upgrade F16 fighter . Later, the United States advocated that Taiwan should implement the "porcupine strategy", and Taiwan bought a bunch of air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles from the United States. Now the United States has begun to promote the "scorched earth strategy", and may be sold to Taiwan by then various landmines, cluster bombs, , and even gas bombs. It is through these strategies that the United States hollowed out the "wallet" of the Taiwan authorities and then feed the United States' military-industrial complex .
Secondly, after the United States regards China as its number one strategic opponent, the United States is trying to use the situation in the Taiwan Strait as the starting point to promote the expansion of NATO in the Asia-Pacific direction, establish a new "strong enemy" for NATO and avoid "fighting alone" with China. US experts advocate the "scorched earth strategy". Once the Taiwan authorities really take risks and adopt the "scorched earth strategy", it will inevitably lead to a large number of humanitarian disasters in Taiwan. The West can openly interfere in the war in the Taiwan Strait under the pretext of "protecting human rights" and other high-sounding excuses.
However, in order to maintain the confidence of the supporters of "Taiwan independence" elements on the island, the Taiwan authorities can only "slap the fat man in the face". Knowing that the gap in military strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is already a world of difference, they still confidently conduct so-called public opinion surveys, creating the illusion that "after the outbreak of the military unification, the Taiwan military can persist for about 100 days."
Whether it is the combat effectiveness of the Taiwan military or the polls, they are all manifestations of the guilt of the "independence" forces on the island. Instead of worrying about being afraid and panic all day long, why not promote the peaceful reunification of the cross-strait? After all, only by promoting peaceful reunification is a win-win situation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan's economic development relies heavily on the mainland. Once the unification is completed, it will be beneficial and harmless for Taiwan. Taiwan's island can concentrate more resources and wealth on improving people's livelihood and developing the economy. The reason why the "Taiwan independence" forces jumped up and down is to put it bluntly that some "independence" elements completely overtake their personal interests over the interests of Taiwan.
It is certain that if the Taiwan authorities continue to ignore the facts and stubbornly try to use the "scorched earth strategy" to "use martial arts to seek independence", they will eventually be able to deceive themselves and "add guilt to crimes", and be abandoned by compatriots on the island who see the truth and recognize the situation, and be despised by peace-loving people all over the world. The US experts are trying to count on the "scorched earth strategy" to deter "martial unification", which is obviously underestimating the comprehensive strength of mainland China and its determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
