This afternoon, the People's Daily said in a press release that the Eastern Theater Command troops will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
According to the video released by the People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command , this afternoon, and the news revealed by Taiwanese sources, today the Eastern Theater Command Air Force has about 50 various types of fighter jets such as Su-35, J-20, as well as about 35 ships of large and small, conducting large-scale joint military exercises in the sea and air areas between the Penghu Islands in the central and southern Taiwan Strait and the sea and air coasts of Tainan and Chiayi. It is unprecedentedly close to the west coast of the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan media revealed that a PLA stealth combat destroyer was located on the Kaohsiung coast, and the closest was between 5 and 8 nautical miles.
Taiwan media person Zhao Hongfei said on social media platforms this afternoon that this is the first time that the PLA fighter jets have cruised the airspace of the Penghu Islands in history. Therefore, the shocking effect it brings is extremely huge. The public opinion on the island was exclaiming, especially the Taiwan troops stationed in the Penghu Islands, were even more frightened and in a hurry.
"According to the latest news from Penghu, there was no warning in advance and insufficient preparation, it caused panic. The Taiwan military's sea and air base stationed in the Penghu Islands was in a mess and responded in a hurry. So many airport staff even ran off their shoes when they ran on the runway of the plane." The embarrassment made people laugh.
It is also reported that last night, Ed Markey, chairman of the Asia-Pacific Group of the U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, led a cross-party congressman's group to openly visit Taiwan.
In the evening of yesterday, Ma Ji and his group of five arrived at Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan. Taiwan’s so-called Deputy Foreign Minister Yu Da-ji, went to the airport to greet him. This is the most open and wanton provocation of the Chinese people by Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in less than two weeks.

Taiwanese famous political science professor in the Taiwan news believes that on the occasion of the Chinese people commemorating the 77th anniversary of the great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, American anti-China politicians openly visited Taiwan, which is even worse than Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
"Because, it not only offends China's dignity, but also a blatant negation of the fruits of victory in World War II ."
At such a sensitive moment, it is not only the US and Taiwan independence authorities, but also the Japanese authorities and their right-wing politicians who provoke China's 1.4 billion people.
On the morning of August 13, Japan Kyodo News reported that Japanese Minister of Economics and Industry Nishimura Yasintoshi visited the Yasukuni Shrine. He is the first cabinet member to visit the Yasukuni Shrine since he came to power in October last year.
It can be foreseen that under the instigation of the United States, Europe and even Japan will visit Taiwan more and more, and even form a domino effect. In this regard, China must make the worst plans.
analysts said that with the intensification of US-Taiwan provocations, the People's Liberation Army's subsequent countermeasures will continue to increase. For example, the PLA fighter jets fly directly over Taipei next time, and the PLA warship directly cruises Kaohsiung and the port waters of Keelung port.
