"Liberty Times" also said that Li Daguang often commented in the media and was a well-known military expert in the mainland. The exercises of the Dongsha Islands were revealed by Kyodo News in May. However, "this is the first time that the Chinese military has confirmed the exercise plan."

The Liberty Times mentioned that Japan's Kyodo News also reported that if China (mainland) conducts this exercise, it will aggravate military tensions between China and the United States. Lin Wenhuang, the "joint combat director of the Operations Planning Office" of Taiwan's defense department, also said that based on the so-called "national security", "outer islands" including Dongsha Island and Taiping Island will strengthen combat readiness and preparation work without pause.

Kong News Agency said in the report that Li Daguang is a military strategy expert who has commented many times in the media. This is the first time that an insider of the Chinese military has clearly confirmed the exercise.

Kong News Agency: Chinese military plans to hold a landing exercise with the imaginary goal of "seizing the Dongsha Islands under Taiwan"

3 On the 3rd, Li Daguang responded to the aforementioned reports of Taiwan media in an interview with a military reporter from the Global Network. He said that in an article published in Bauhinia magazine, he mentioned that "the People's Liberation Army plans to seize Dongsha Island in August" and that it was also the news he saw on Kyodo News in Japan. 's article was by no means "the first confirmed by the Chinese military" by the Taiwanese media. Taiwan media distorted and hyped this matter, which was a mentality of exaggerating the mainland's threat and fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Military expert Song Zhongping On May 12, he told the Global Times-Global Network reporter that the Dongsha Islands are at the strategic impetus of the southeast coast and connect the South China Sea and the Western Pacific, and their location is very critical. If the Dongsha Islands are leased to the US military by the Taiwanese authorities to carry out some military detection activities, such as the placement of detectors or anti-submarine equipment, it will have a greater impact on the PLA. Some Taiwanese authorities have already advocated leasing Taiping Island to the US military, and the possibility of leasing Dongsha Island in the future is not ruled out.

Song Zhongping believes that the fundamental reason for the increasing tension in the Taiwan Strait is that the Tsai Ing-wen administration continues to engage in "Taiwan independence" and even needs to achieve legal "Taiwan independence" through "constitutionalization". Under this premise, the People's Liberation Army should prepare for military struggle, including joint military exercises, "knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger", and warn "Taiwan independence elements" not to cross the red line and bottom line. He said, "People's Liberation Army's island-seizing exercises have become a normal subject. The island-seizing exercises, as the name suggests, are targeting islands. Dongsha Islands are islands, Penghu Islands is also, Taiwan's island is a larger island. If the 'Taiwan independence elements' insist on separatist activities, military exercises can be transformed into military operations at any time."
