As we all know, the United States has always hoped to prevent China's reunification by playing the "Taiwan card" and thus hinder China's development. In order to achieve its goal, the United States can be described as a variety of tricks. Previously, Lithuania was provoked by the United States to set up a so-called "Taiwan representative office" in the country, which seriously undermined the one-China principle and led to the coldness of neutral relations.
Now that the United States has announced arms sales to Taiwan, the conspiracy of "using Taiwan to control China" has once again been revealed. According to reports, the Biden administration recently announced in a high-profile manner that it will once again sell arms to Taiwan, and this transaction also includes the maintenance of important equipment such as "Patriot-3" air defense missiles.
After the US side announced the news, the Taiwan authorities were very excited and immediately expressed their gratitude to the United States, claiming that this was evidence of the United States' support for Taiwan.
In this regard, the mainland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, and the Ministry of National Defense all said that the US move has violated the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, which is a major damage to China's national rights and interests.
The Chinese side urges the US side to correct its erroneous thinking as soon as possible, revoke its erroneous decision, cancel arms sales to Taiwan, and stop its military ties with Taiwan. At the same time, China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests.
At present, the US side has not responded to China's request. Not only that, the United States has also intensified its efforts to hold joint military exercises with Japan and other allies around China to demonstrate against China.
It is reported that the us-Japan joint military exercise was conducted in the waters of Okinawa, which is the so-called "first island chain" area of the United States. The focus of the exercise was on maritime anti-submarine and offshore landings.
In addition, the exercise was also based on the concept of "expeditionary forward base" put forward by the United States, and it is obvious that the United States and Japan are practicing to seize the island by force, and their imaginary enemy is China.
In the face of blatant provocations by the United States and Japan, China will certainly not sit idly by. In addition to condemning the actions of the United States, the mainland has also paid practical action.
It has been learned that just after the Spring Festival holiday, the Platon Army resumed its war patrols of the surrounding waters, including the Bashi Strait and the Taiwan Strait, which have now returned to normal.
As usual, Taiwan's defense department will broadcast every day the movement of the PLA's war patrols in the Taiwan Strait that day. However, a recent circular by Taiwan's defense department has caused panic among "Taiwan independence" elements on the island.
According to reports, the Taiwan Army recently released news that it found a UFO flying over the Mazu East Diversion Island Defense Zone, and then the Taiwan military closely monitored it, but because its identity was not confirmed, the Taiwan army did not warn and drive away.
Since the taiwan army's statement did not state the information of the aircraft's belief, this briefing caused panic among the people on the island, and many people questioned that Taiwan had a very serious "air defense loophole."
It should be known that in order to prevent the "mainland from attacking Taiwan," Taiwan's defense department has set up air defense units in several defense zones. In addition to the anti-aircraft missile unit, Matsu also deployed a variety of missiles such as "Stinger" and "Avenger", as well as an anti-aircraft cannon company stationed there.
Now the Taiwan military claims that it cannot identify a plane flying over the Mazu Island, which has made many Taiwanese, especially the "Taiwan independence" elements, very flustered.
They believe that this plane may be a military plane of the mainland, and this flight over Dongyin Island is to send a tough signal to Taiwan. Some even believe that this means that the mainland may have a complete showdown with Taiwan.
In an effort to calm public opinion, Taiwan officials subsequently claimed that the UFO was a Y-12 aircraft Chinese mainland. However, this aircraft is not a military aircraft, but a civilian aircraft.
According to Taiwanese officials, the plane took off from a civilian airport in Fujian, and the analysis believes that the plane flew over Dongyin Island to test its performance. However, some experts on the island insist that this is a test by the mainland against Taiwan.
What needs to be reminded to some people is that the mainland's military strength is far ahead of Taiwan's, and there is no need to test Taiwan at all. What's more, in 1958, the mainland declared Dongyin Island one of the base points of China's territorial waters, and even if an aircraft flew over the island, it was also on its own territory. Of course, Taiwan was originally also China's territory, and whether it is a civilian plane or a military plane flying over Taiwan, it is also a very normal thing, and the Taiwan authorities still have to get used to it earlier.
