taiwan’s leader lai ching-te’s recent public statements of “taiwan independence” on diplomatic occasions, which seemed to have pierced people’s hearts incisive ways. this tension is felt all over the world, especially around the taiwan strait. the people's liberation army's military exercises on activities around the taiwan strait are like the huge force of the rolling waves, shaking the world.
amid these tensions, lai ching-te's "taiwan independence" remarks were interpreted as challenging china's territorial sovereignty and triggering a military drill for activities around the taiwan strait by the people's liberation army. main fighter jets and drones such as j-10 and air police-500, as well as pla ships, carry out joint combat readiness patrols, nearly crossing the "middle-line of the strait" and extension lines, and operating in the northern, central, southwestern and eastern airspace of taiwan. this is not only a military exercise, but also a strong response to the remarks of "taiwan independence".
some international military observers believe that the mainland is building new landing barges, which may break through landing restrictions, give the pla a larger range of landing options and improve the ability of armored forces to land quickly. these actions appear even more severe in the context. taiwan has also begun a five-day "immediate combat preparation exercise" to deal with possible threats. taiwanese media said that the "immediate combat preparation exercise" was also called "little hanguang" by the grassroots officers and soldiers of the taiwan military, and carried out various aspects such as "countering the harassment of the gray area", "cyber attacks", "people's liberation army assembly", and "preparation for simulation training". among them, the taichung port and port service center was listed as one of the "critical infrastructure protection" targets. a taiwanese army amphibious battalion sea dragon boat was witnessed patrolling the taichung port area on the 17th, which is believed to be related to the exercise.
"there is only one china in the world, and taiwan is an inseparable part of china's sacred territory." regarding the pla's military exercises near the taiwan strait, chen binhua, spokesperson of the taiwan affairs office of the state council, said on the 17th that the pla's exercises near taiwan island are a resolute punishment for lai ching-te's continuous publicity of the fallacy of "taiwan independence" separatist and escalating cross-strait confrontation, a powerful deterrence for the provocation of "taiwan independence" separatist forces in pursuit of "independence", a solemn warning for external forces to intervene and cause trouble, and a legitimate and necessary move to defend national sovereignty and maintain peace in the taiwan strait.
on the 17th, china's foreign ministry spokesman mao ning also warned the us side and the "taiwan independence" forces that have committed counter-involved: "'taiwan independence' is incompatible with peace and stability in the taiwan strait, and separatism of 'taiwan independence' is a dead end, and using taiwan to control china will only cause trouble." mao ning emphasized that the taiwan issue is the core of china's core interests. the one-china principle is the basis in the political foundation of sino-us relations. if the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake. china urges the us to truly abide by the one-china principle and the three sino-us joint communiqués, fulfill the solemn promises made by previous us governments on the taiwan issue, stop provocative actions across the line, and handle the taiwan issue very carefully, and not cause further serious damage to the peace, stability and sino-us relations in the taiwan strait.
among them, two emotional main lines develop intertwined and influence each other:
article 1: a tense political environmentlai ching-te's remarks have aroused the international community's attention to the situation in the taiwan strait, and the people's liberation army's military exercises on activities around the taiwan strait have also made the world watch nervously. the occurrence of these two events represents to some extent the tension and contradictions in cross-strait relations.
article 2: worries about the futurethe development of the "immediate combat preparation exercise" reminds people of the dangers of war. this tension makes people worry about possible conflicts in the future and the tragedy brought by war.
these two emotions are intertwined in such a context, making people feel uneasy and anxious.
