Pelosi ignored China's warning and brazenly visited Taiwan, seriously undermining the "one-China principle" and having a very bad impact on Sino-US relations. She has now taken a flight to South Korea, but the matter will not end like this. .
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying , when responding to the question of whether to sanction Pelosi, said that all necessary measures will be taken and emphasized that the measures will be resolute and effective. However, the focus of this matter is not on Pelosi. The key is how we deal with the Taiwan issue next.
Countering her, a politician who is about to leave office and retire, is just a means. To achieve further control over the Taiwan Strait region and promote national reunification is our goal. The People's Liberation Army has designated six restricted areas around Taiwan and will hold large-scale joint military exercises starting from the 4th, so the fun is only starting now.
Judging from the published diagram, our military's exercise area almost surrounds the entire island of Taiwan, and multiple restricted areas are directly blocked outside important ports such as Kaohsiung, Keelung. Since all unrelated ships and aircraft are not allowed to enter the restricted area, even the green media exclaimed that it was "not good" and believed that this move was equivalent to a "sea and air lockup" for three days.
More importantly, the DPP authorities have no idea how much impact it will have on the island's material and energy supply once the training begins, and whether the military exercise will directly turn into a military operation.
Taiwan’s defense department recently made harsh words, saying that some areas of the People’s Liberation Army’s exercise areas “intruded into territorial waters” and that the Taiwan military would take countermeasures and resolutely defend its “sovereignty.” According to Taiwanese media reports, the Coast Guard on the opposite coast plans to send the 4,000-ton Hsinchu ship to forcefully break into the restricted area for the People's Liberation Army's military exercises.
However, some members of the media discovered after checking ship information that after the training operation officially started at 12 noon on the 4th, the Hsinchu actively avoided the corresponding restricted areas and did not dare to risk intrusion. In fact, if the Coast Guard really sends a ship to test, it will only happen in the following situations. First, it will be stopped before approaching the restricted area.
Secondly, after breaking into the exercise area, he was warned to leave by our army; thirdly, he insisted on going his own way and was sunk by artillery fire. But this is a sensitive time, and any action may lead to a gunfire. If military friction occurs, the party that is afraid will definitely be the Taiwan authorities, because the mainland does not rule out using force to "close" Taiwan.
From this perspective, if Tsai Ing-wen is smart enough, it is best not to make any provocative moves, otherwise she will not be able to afford the consequences.
It is worth mentioning that the island media said that due to the mainland carrying out military exercises in 6 areas around the Taiwan Strait, Pengjiayu , which is close to the exercise area in the northern part of Taiwan Island, the 16 Taiwanese above are now in a state of complete isolation. External traffic lines were temporarily cut off.
Originally, on the 5th, there would be a supply ship on the island going to Pengjia Island to deliver supplies. Now the plan has been cancelled, further highlighting that we have achieved control over the sea and airspace around Taiwan Island. In fact, not only do the Taiwan authorities have to abide by the restricted areas designated by the People's Liberation Army, but a large number of Korean airline flights to Taiwan also take the initiative to avoid sensitive areas, and some flights are simply canceled.
The latest ABS-B data shows that there are currently no civil aircraft flying over the exercise area, and 18 international routes are expected to be affected. The Taiwan authorities are gradually bearing the consequences of Pelosi's visit.
Pelosi's trip is entirely a personal "political show" before her retirement. As for what will happen to Taiwan, it is not her concern at all. In addition to two days of meaningless carnival, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities have essentially not gained any practical benefits. What they have gained in exchange is a fundamental change in the military situation across the Taiwan Strait.
The exercise launched by the People's Liberation Army on the 4th is a rehearsal for the military's "containment of Taiwan". If we decide to take drastic measures in the future, there is a high probability that we will first surround Taiwan Island, and then try to catch turtles in a urn, and at the same time block the interference of external forces. Fleeing with "Taiwan independence" elements.
Therefore, whether it is counterattack against Taiwan or the United States, it is not a one-time thing. We might as well extend the "wait and see" timeline a little longer. If reunification is the final result, then a later date is not unacceptable.
