The weather will change in Taiwan! On the evening of May 24, a large number of people gathered at the front and back doors of the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan. According to the organizer's statistics, the number of people on site once reached 100000 to 120000.
The three major parties in the island are in a panic and can't come up with any countermeasures. Lai Qingde did not dare to show up easily for fear that he could not get away. Why do these people gather? On the one hand, of course, it is related to the "Legislative Yuan"'s infighting in the past two weeks. They think that Taiwan has come to the crossroads of life and death; On the other hand, it is also obviously affected by the mainland military exercises, which make the people in the island very nervous.
For the mainland's "United Sword 2024A" exercise, the Taiwan authorities are downplaying two things from top to bottom:
1. First, the Taiwan authorities still refuse to admit the important question: who is the imaginary enemy of the mainland in this military exercise? On this point, Chen Yuzhen, the "legislator" of the Kuomintang, told the truth. She said, "It's not for Taiwanese, but for Americans." Yes, this time our imaginary enemy is more American than Taiwan. This can be seen from the details of the path of the drill, the linkage of all units, and the second island chain.
The reason why the Taiwan authorities refuse to admit this is simple: once they admit it, they will tell more than 20 million islanders that the PLA is certainly not afraid of the US military in the direction of the Taiwan Strait, and the US military "cannot protect" them. This truth will overturn the rhetoric of the Democratic Progressive Party over the past decade.
2. Second, the Taiwan authorities hope to play down the impact of this exercise. They hope that the people in the island think that this is the same as the previous military exercises, so we should not worry about it. But the problem is that those celebrities and retired generals of the Taiwan army in the island have already thoroughly analyzed the details of the military exercises, and also said on the TV that the Democratic Progressive Party can fool who?
Seeing the situation like this, some heavyweights in the island came forward and had something to say, such as Xia Yingzhou, retired general of Taiqian Air Force. Xia Yingzhou is 84 years old this year. He is highly respected in the military circles of the island. In the past, Xia Yingzhou did not speak out very much. This time, he may be unable to hold back.
As soon as Xia Yingzhou came forward, he scolded Lai Qingde, saying that he had made the situation like this. At the same time, Xia Yingzhou also apparently intended to stand up to persuade peace between the mainland and Taiwan, so he talked about the issue of "Chinese people do not fight Chinese people". After analyzing the recent actions of the Chinese mainland, Xia Yingzhou came to the conclusion that "the mainland still adheres to the strategic style of post emptive attack".
We hope to agree with Mr. Xia Yingzhou's statement, but the problem is that the current DPP authorities obviously have no space to communicate with the mainland. Moreover, the more serious problem is that there are also changes in the United States and the Philippines.
For the United States, it is obvious that it can not hold back any longer. Austin, the US defense minister, made it clear on May 24 that he hoped to see the Chinese defense minister soon, just this month. At the same time, the United States also spent $1 billion to build frigates to compete with mainland China.
As for the Philippines, there is now a big news: a coast guard post will be built on Ibayat Island. This location is only 160 kilometers away from the southern tip of Taiwan, China, and only 540 kilometers away from Xi'an, China. Therefore, if the Philippines succeeds, the actions of our navy will be easily discovered.
Therefore, I wonder if Xia Yingzhou understands that it is not the mainland that wants "Chinese to fight Chinese", but the collusion between the Taiwan authorities and external forces that has affected the security of the motherland. Let's keep an eye on more relevant situations.
