Less than a month after China's third aircraft carrier "Fujian" was launched, the "Haixun 06" ship was officially listed as Fujian Maritime Safety Administration . It is the first large-scale cruise rescue ship in the Taiwan Strait. The "Haixun 06" has a endurance of 10,000 nautical miles, a maximum speed of 23 knots, a full load displacement of 6,600 tons, and can reach all sea areas except the North and South Pole. After the "Haixun 06" ship was launched, it can well maintain order in the Taiwan Strait.
However, the Taiwan authorities believe that the launch of the "Haixun 06" ship is the mainland's "destroying the status quo in the Taiwan Strait" and "exacerbating regional tensions." The Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council stated that for a long time, the Taiwan Strait has been a strait that maintains cross-strait and regional peace, and the "central line of the strait" is a concrete practice of both sides' "mutual non-aggression and mutual non-crossing". There is no doubt that the Taiwan authorities' rhetoric is to hope that "Haixun 06" will not cross the so-called "central line of the strait."
In response, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stated at a regular press conference on July 13 that there is no such thing as a "central line of the strait" and that the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China. The DPP authorities should not attempt to use the launch of the "Haixun 06" as an excuse to engage in political manipulation and confuse the public.
In the Taiwan Strait, there are passenger routes, fishing grounds and fishing boats, and some routes overlap with coastal fishing grounds. The probability of accidents is indeed high. The "Haixun 06" ship can effectively handle such incidents after it is launched. On the day of the launching ceremony of the "Haixun 06" ship, Wang Huaming, spokesperson of the Fujian Maritime Safety Administration, introduced the relevant situation. Wang Huaming said that maritime ship accidents occur frequently in the Taiwan Strait due to dense fog in spring, typhoons in summer and strong winds in winter, accounting for about 10% of the number of dangerous maritime accidents in the country.
When such an accident occurs, it is impossible to dispatch warships to solve it. We can only rely on coast patrol ships and coast guard ships to deal with it. The deterrent power of large ships with a displacement of several thousand tons at sea is self-evident. There are many countries' capital ships. The tonnage is not as large as the newly launched "Haixun 06". It is reported that the Haixun 06" ship is also equipped with a remote directional loudspeaker system, which can provide long-distance voice warning and noise dispersion targets.
Zhu Fenglian also introduced some uses of the "Haixun 06" ship, which is mainly used for maritime cruise rescue and maritime traffic accidents. Investigation and processing and ship pollution monitoring. It is really unreasonable for the Taiwan authorities to hype this, not to mention that the "Haixun 06" is not the largest among the coast patrol ships. China also has several 10,000-ton coast patrol ships in 2021. In October of this year, China's first 10,000-ton maritime patrol ship, the "Haixun 09", was commissioned. Perhaps it was the recent statement by US Secretary of State Blinken when he met with Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the G20 summit that made it so. The Taiwan authorities were a little panicked and wanted to hype up this incident to once again gain the attention of the United States. Blinken said at the time that he did not support "Taiwan independence" and did not seek to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The biggest external support force for the Taiwan authorities' "independence" is the United States. Blinken's statement made the Taiwan authorities feel that Taiwan may be abandoned by the United States.
On the Taiwan Strait issue, no matter whether the Taiwan authorities admit it or not, only China and the United States determine the direction of the situation. Taiwan is the focus of the issue. The authorities do not have much say in it. As China's strength in all aspects gradually grows and it gradually gains the initiative in the game with the United States, it is no longer realistic for the Taiwan authorities to "rely on the United States and seek independence" as in the past. .
The United States is currently too busy to take care of itself. It will not respond to the launch of the "Haixun 06" for its own entertainment. In fact, it is meaningless whether the United States intervenes in the Taiwan Strait issue. Reunification of both sides of the Taiwan Strait is inevitable, and the Taiwan authorities are acting like a clown, which will not help. In the future, more coast guard ships will be launched from the mainland, and the Taiwan Strait will be smoother.
