Recently, the People's Liberation Army held a series of military exercises in the Taiwan Strait. Interestingly, although the People's Liberation Army has continued to exercise, Taiwan has behaved very "Buddhist". The Taiwan withdrawal general explained the reason.
According to Taiwanese media reports, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has suddenly heated up due to US House Speaker Pelosi's "whirlwind trip to Taiwan" for 19 hours. The People's Liberation Army launched large-scale exercises in multiple sea areas around Taiwan Island. For a time, the sound of artillery boomed in the Taiwan Strait. . What worries everyone in Taiwan even more is that the People's Liberation Army seems to have no intention of leaving. The exercise time has been repeatedly extended, from the original scheduled end on the 7th to the 8th. On the 9th, the Eastern Theater Command once again announced that the exercise will continue.
You must know that the People's Liberation Army's exercises have blocked a large number of relevant airspace and sea areas in Taiwan. This has had a certain impact on many foreign economic and cultural exchanges in Taiwan. Moreover, the People's Liberation Army exercises have not stopped, and the sound of artillery is booming. Under such circumstances, how can the Taiwan authorities still sleep?
But here, there is a strange thing that has attracted people's attention, and that is the attitude of the Taiwanese people. As we all know, this PLA military exercise created many "firsts" in the history of the PLA, such as the first full encirclement of Taiwan and the first launch of the missile across Taiwan. So in fact, the People's Liberation Army's actions this time are actually bigger than those during the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996.
But the strange thing is that the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996 directly caused a large number of Taiwanese people to rush for tickets, intending to leave Taiwan and go to Hong Kong SAR, the United States, and Japan, but they did not dare to stay on Taiwan. However, this time the situation was more serious, and the DPP authorities were extremely anxious. On the contrary, the Taiwanese people seemed very "calm" and did not run away. Why is this? Does Taiwan have any secret weapons that can protect it from being attacked by the People's Liberation Army?
In this regard, retired Taiwan Army Lieutenant General Hu Zhusheng told the truth, because there are three reasons why Taiwan cannot escape like it did in 1996. First, there is no sense of crisis, second, there is no money, and third, there is no livelihood skills. Taiwan is no longer what it was back then. In the past, Taiwan was known as the Four Asian Tigers. But after 1996, with the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis and the weakening of the Japanese economy, the situation in Asia has been completely rewritten. Taiwan has been The economic capital that we are proud of is far less than it used to be. In addition, due to the serious inflation in the United States and the Western world, Taiwanese people simply do not dare to go to the West. In addition, there are the problems of the Taiwanese themselves. The industrial structure in Taiwan is relatively comprehensive, with a large number of mid-to-high-end manufacturing industries, such as chips, and agriculture. Currently, there are not many areas in the world that can engage in chip manufacturing. Agriculture requires land. This means that Taiwanese people actually have no way to go abroad. To avoid the war, the only option may be to come to the mainland.
Therefore, there are objective reasons why the Taiwanese people did not escape this time. Even if they wanted to escape, there was actually no way to escape. In addition, there is no sense of crisis. Hu Zhusheng explained that for Taiwanese, it is not the time when Taiwan is really in danger. If Taiwan is really in danger, two conditions must be met. First, the United States must evacuate its overseas Chinese, and second, all foreign capital must evacuate. Hu Zhusheng said that the younger generation now does not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. The DPP cyber army often clamors to fight against the mainland, and military training has also been slackened, so there is also a problem with combat effectiveness.
Some Taiwanese people think that mainland China will not come over. Hu Zhusheng pointed out that there are two types of this. One is that the mainland does not dare to attack, and the other is that the mainland does not need to attack.
The former idea is really a miscalculation of the situation. If the People's Liberation Army really wants to take over Taiwan, it will definitely pursue a quick victory. For example, when it is least expected, it will take advantage of the opportunity when the Taiwan military's defenses are weakest to suddenly launch an attack, and then immediately blockade the Taiwan Strait and target several major strategic locations. The main operating agencies of the Taiwan authorities launched attacks, and even sent secret "decapitation" troops to directly capture the leaders of "Taiwan independence" to ensure that cross-strait reunification was completed with minimal battle losses, minimal damage to the Taiwan region, and the fastest speed.Moreover, the strength gap between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is obvious. The idea that the mainland does not dare to attack Taiwan is a miscalculation of the situation.
Today, the initiative in the Taiwan Strait has long been concentrated in the hands of the mainland, and the United States can only avoid its edge. The mainland is absolutely capable of liberating Taiwan, but it still hopes for peaceful reunification. Therefore, the purpose of this military exercise is to warn Taiwan not to pursue "Taiwan independence" and not to allow foreign forces to intervene, otherwise the mainland will inevitably deal with the problem. It is hoped that the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island will give up the illusion of "seeking independence through force" and "relying on the United States to seek independence", and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be reunified.
