According to statistics from the Taiwan authorities’ defense department, since the beginning of this year, more than 940 PLA ​​military aircraft have entered Taiwan’s airspace, which is twice the total in 2019 and 2020. There are 365 days in a year, which is an average of nearly 3 planes a day. "The plane is coming" and "the plane is coming again"... have become an indispensable topic of speculation in Taiwanese media every day. This has deepened the Taiwanese people's understanding that "cross-strait conflicts may occur at any time." The fear of war.

Qiu Guozheng, director of Taiwan's defense department, "pretended to be pitiful" and said that "the pressure on the Taiwan military is increasing." However, since this year, the DPP authorities have done nothing less to provoke the mainland (to intimidate the people on the island).

html In April, the Taiwan authorities' "Coastal Patrol Office" stated that the People's Liberation Army drones flew around Dongsha Island , presumably for "reconnaissance and search." At that time, Taiwan's "IOC chairman" Li Zhongwei claimed that currently the People's Liberation Army military aircraft have not entered restricted waters and airspace, but only detoured at a considerable distance. However, if the other party enters the destruction zone, it will be dealt with in accordance with the disposal regulations, " Fire when it’s time to fire” .

Even public opinion was surprised. With this statement, does Taiwan plan to launch , "the first cross-strait shot" ?

html On May 6, the Australian media published an exclusive interview with Wu Zhaoxie, the head of the Taiwan authorities’ foreign affairs department. Wu Zhaoxie claimed in the interview that the mainland seemed to be preparing to launch a final attack on Taiwan. “Taiwan must be prepared for a military conflict with the People’s Liberation Army.” .

On October 15, Qiu Taisan, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Taiwan authorities, claimed in an interview that the number and type of military aircraft that the People's Liberation Army flew around Taiwan from October 1 to 4 were completely different from those in the past. looked like "layout" "Exercise" , experts from all walks of life believe that the Taiwan Strait has reached a "quasi-war scale" layout.

On October 26, Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen accepted an exclusive interview with CNN and confirmed for the first time that the US military was assisting in training in Taiwan. She also stated that the threat of war in the Taiwan Strait is "increasing day by day", but "believes that the United States will reach out." Helping hand” .

On October 28, American think tank troops launched a surprise air landing on Dongsha Island in the South China Sea. Qiu Guozheng, director of Taiwan's defense department, deliberately used this to exaggerate that the People's Liberation Army was practicing "capturing the island". He claimed that he had encouraged the island The Taiwan military must "fight to the end" and "live or die with the island"; he also previously warned that "this is the most serious moment in the Taiwan Strait in 40 years" .

Under the multiple stimulations of the DPP's repeated "speeches", the Taiwanese media's constant "broadcasts" and the United States' frequent "reminders" that Taiwan "strengthens its self-defense capabilities", it seems to declare to the entire Taiwanese people that the Taiwan Strait is "dangerous and dangerous". The two sides of the Taiwan Strait "will eventually fight", advocating that everyone roll up their sleeves, pick up a broom, and rush to the battlefield.

Are Taiwanese people really happy to see a war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait?

According to a latest poll published by "Foresight" magazine on December 28, 52.1% of the people believe that Taiwan is "not ready for the war"; 51.3% of the people said that they are "unwilling to let themselves or their family members go to war". "Battlefield"; at the same time, as many as 60.1% of the public hope to increase interaction with the mainland and believe that even if they want to be "pro-American", they should continue to "peace with China."

This result also caused a lot of discussion among netizens on the island. Among the "49% who are willing to go to the battlefield", how many are "only willing to speak out" and how many are "only willing to hide behind the keyboard"?

Defense Ministry spokesperson Tan Kefei also pointed out a very cruel fact yesterday: The number of aircraft sorties dispatched by the People's Liberation Army is "only a lot more" than the number hyped by the DPP authorities.

Indeed, since this year, the People's Liberation Army's regular patrols around Taiwan have become normal, but the People's Liberation Army's goals are very clear, to combat the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island; to fight back against collusion with external forces and challenges The one-China principle 's bad behavior; safeguarding the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In the understanding of Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party, clinging to the thigh of the United States and regularly paying protection fees (arms purchases) means that "Taiwan is safe and worry-free", and they can ignore the mainland's warnings and move in the direction of "Taiwan independence" unbridled To black.

Speaking of this, not only the second question must be raised, is the United States reliable?

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan this year is probably the most standard "answer".

After the Afghan Taliban took power, the former Afghan President Ghani (Ashraf Ghani) abandoned the country and fled, which also triggered heated discussions on the island. As we all know, during Taiwan military exercises, the "escape plan" of leaders of the Taiwan authorities is also a necessity. People all want to know: When the army approaches the city, will Tsai Ing-wen fight or flee? Should he flee first, or should he let the people flee first? If DPP officials are rushing to escape, why do they continue to incite the Taiwanese people to go to the battlefield?

In fact, the highest principle of cross-Strait relations is still peaceful reunification. As long as the DPP authorities are willing to return to the " 1992 Consensus " and resume cross-Strait exchanges, the arms race can be avoided or even lifted. The risk of war in the Taiwan Strait.

Not wanting to fight is the voice of the people on the island. The solution has been given. How long will the DPP continue to stand against public opinion? [Source: China Jingwei.com]
