Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, justice may be late, but it will never be absent. In the past few days, there are three pieces of news that are quite noteworthy.
Let's first talk about the first news, the mainland fishermen have been "abducted", and the hijackers are not others but the Taiwan Strait Patrol Department. According to Taiwan media reports on January 18, the Taiwan authorities' coast guard forcibly boarded a mainland fishing boat on the pretext of "crossing the border" and detained 14 crew members on board. It has been learned that late at night on 15 January, the "Taiwan Strait Patrol" discovered that a mainland fishing vessel was active in the Penghu waters, and immediately used searchlights to illuminate the mainland fishing vessels and warned them to immediately stop their boats for inspection. Mainland fishing boats refused to stop their boats and tried to prevent the Taiwan Strait Patrol from forcibly boarding the boats, but they were eventually "hijacked" to Taiwan Island because they were "outnumbered."
Brief Comment: Taiwan is China's Taiwan, so why is it said to "cross the border"? Moreover, the mainland has never given taiwan the "Coast Watch" any law enforcement powers, and its seizure of mainland fishing boats and "hijacking" of mainland fishermen are completely illegal acts. For a long time, the Taiwan authorities have frequently used the so-called "crossing the border" as an excuse to treat mainland fishermen crudely, and even threatened with violence to sink mainland fishing boats and shoot mainland fishermen. On the contrary, the Taiwan Strait Patrol Department treats fishermen from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries for cross-border fishing operations, but they are collectively silent and dare not say half a "no" word.
However, the Taiwan authorities have continued to create antagonism between public opinion on both sides of the strait, and even posed as intensifying cross-strait confrontation, wantonly inciting the sentiment of "opposing the mainland, resisting the mainland, and hating the mainland," and constantly creating new hatred and old hatred between the two sides of the strait. Its purpose is nothing more than to deliberately create tension and create momentum for its advancement of the process of seeking "independence." Therefore, in the face of the Taiwan authorities' "abduction" of mainland fishermen, we must take countermeasures, continue to declare the state's sovereignty over the sea and airspace around Taiwan with practical actions, crack down on the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" forces, and safeguard the common interests and well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
On the second note, the German warship's visit to China was rejected. According to the Global Network news on January 18, the German frigate "Bavaria" set off for the Indo-Pacific sea to carry out "free navigation" activities in August last year, and is now preparing to leave for China, during which the German side had requested to visit China, but the Chinese side refused. On January 17, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that we hope that Germany's relevant practices will be conducive to regional peace and stability, rather than going to the region to win attention, under the banner of "safeguarding freedom of navigation", sending military aircraft and warships to the South China Sea to flaunt their might, provoke incidents, and deliberately create contradictions on maritime issues.
Brief comment: As early as 2020, the United States swept the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Japan, Germany and other allies to the South China Sea to carry out so-called "free navigation" activities, if it can promote action, it will form a multinational containment trend for China. During the period when the United States, Britain, Australia, France, and other countries successively sent ships to the Indo-Pacific region, Germany, on the one hand, declared its support for the so-called "freedom of navigation in the South China Sea" to the United States and other allies, and on the other hand, it hoped to send ships to visit Shanghai Port or Qingdao Port.
In fact, China is open to the harmless navigation of any national warship in the South China Sea, but China will keep the bottom line of sovereignty and security firmly, and we will never allow any external forces to touch China's core interests. Today's China is no longer the China bullied by its predecessors for a hundred years, and today's Asia will not repeat the story of the "Eight-Power Alliance" running amok more than 100 years ago. Based on this strategic self-confidence, China is not afraid of all sides, but it will never accept any blackmail by power and force. Again, China does not cause trouble, but it is not afraid of things, friends come with good wine, if the jackal comes to greet them there is the "east wind".
On the third message, Taiwan agents want to land on the mainland. According to the news of January 18, the Taiwan authorities announced that great progress has been made in the training of Taiwan military operatives, and their frogman special agents will be able to take advantage of the night along the coast to sneak across the Taiwan Strait and get close to the mainland coast, or to board the mainland and "summon attacks." The Taiwan authorities said that the amphibious operations agents were all volunteers, and they all had the desire to challenge their personal limits and hoped that they could play a big role in the future.
Brief comment: According to Taiwan media, Taiwan's defense department's training of frogman agents is very cruel, and in the time of six days and five nights, these volunteers shortlisted for the "amphibious reconnaissance task force" need to endure various harsh tests such as long-distance marches to the water for several hours. It can be said that the Taiwan authorities have regarded the frogman agents as elite troops to counter the mainland. However, the Taiwan authorities' attempt to use their frogmen to sneak up on the mainland and guide the Taiwan military missiles to strike is very crazy.
It should be known that the mainland already has a perfect defense system, and it is very difficult for the frogmen trained by the Taiwan authorities to escape the mainland's surveillance system; in wartime, these frogmen agents will only become the target of the Platon Army, but this kind of move to launch a "sneak attack" is "worth vigilance." As the saying goes, if heaven desires death, it will make it crazy, and the arrogance of "Taiwan independence" is the best footnote to this old saying. All kinds of tricks of "Taiwan independence" are just absurd acts of Don Quixote. What we want to squarely tell the Taiwan authorities is that there is only one dead end in "resisting reunification by force."
