Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the rhetoric about "Ukraine today, Taiwan tomorrow" inside and outside Taiwan has become more and more popular, and the Taiwan authorities have therefore kept a low profile for a while. However, after the United States sent two major delegations to visit Taiwan earlier this month, the Taiwan authorities seemed to no longer feel anxious about this, and even began to take the initiative to provoke the mainland.
Earlier, Taiwan issued the so-called "People's Evacuation and Disaster Relief Manual" and counted air raid shelters and shelters throughout Taiwan, as if to prepare for "emergencies."
Recently, Taiwan's defense department has launched the so-called "strongest call" to train veterans to march 22 kilometers in 14 days to enhance the mobility of the "reserve personnel" of the Taiwan military.
Now the Taiwan authorities have intensified their efforts and have begun to intimidate the mainland. According to reports, on March 10, Taiwan's foreign affairs department and defense department issued a so-called "report on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the situation in the Taiwan Strait."
The report said Taiwan had previously joined the ranks of Economic Sanctions against Russia initiated by Western countries. For being included in the unfriendly list, Taiwan's foreign affairs department said that "there is no need to worry."
As for the recent "Ukraine Today, Taiwan Tomorrow" remarks that have been raging inside and outside the island, Taiwan's foreign affairs department has declared that this statement is not credible, because Taiwan has three major advantages over Ukraine.
The first is "strategic location advantage", Taiwan is in the "first island chain", the importance of strategic location is far more than Ukraine; the second is "geographical advantage", compared with Ukraine's close neighbor Russia, There is a "natural barrier" formed by the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and the mainland. The third is the "supply chain advantage", Taiwan has high-tech industries such as semiconductors, which occupy an extremely important position in the global supply chain. Therefore, the Taiwan authorities believe that Taiwan will not repeat the crisis in Ukraine.
At the same time, the Taiwan authorities also said with great confidence that the situation in Russia and Ukraine has made the world pay more attention to the security of the Taiwan Strait, and the so-called "friendly Taiwan region" will not allow the mainland to use force to undermine "regional peace." Therefore, the Taiwan authorities have intimidated the mainland, saying that if the mainland uses force against Taiwan, it will certainly pay a "bitter price."
Taiwan's defense department said that recently PLA military aircraft and warships have frequently traveled to the Taiwan Strait to cruise, and the defense department is closely monitoring and has not found any abnormal movements in the PLA.
In addition, Taiwan's defense department also suggested that the so-called "friendly Taiwan region" support the US "Indo-Pacific Strategy" with practical actions and carry out normalized military training activities in the Indo-Pacific region.
It is not difficult to see from the above that the so-called "Report on the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict and the Situation in the Taiwan Strait" issued by Taiwan's foreign affairs department and defense department has a very strong provocative significance to the mainland.
In fact, recently, the Taiwan authorities have been provoking the mainland in a very high profile, and the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island are also very restless. In this regard, Wu Qian, spokesman for the mainland's Ministry of National Defense, said in a domineering manner: Engaging in "Taiwan independence" is self-destruction.
Wu Qian said: We have always adhered to the principle of "peaceful reunification," but we will never allow the "Taiwan independence" forces to split the motherland. The collusion between the Taiwan authorities and the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island to conspire with external forces to seek "independence" has seriously damaged the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and is also the root cause of the current tension in the Taiwan Strait.
The mainland has no fear of intimidation by the Taiwan authorities, but it needs to remind the Taiwan authorities that anyone who obstructs China's reunification will be condemned by history and the people.
The PLA will never tolerate the vicious acts of the "Taiwan independence" elements in attempting to split China. I would like to advise the Taiwan authorities to have a clear understanding of the situation, abandon the pursuit of "independence," and give more consideration to the well-being of ordinary people in Taiwan.
As for the so-called "friendly Taiwan regions," that is, countries such as the United States and Japan, the Chinese side also advises them to stop colluding with the Taiwan authorities. The Chinese side has stressed on many occasions that Taiwan Strait affairs are China's internal affairs and that no external forces are allowed to interfere, and any external forces that attempt to prevent China's reunification will be strongly condemned by China. It is hoped that the countries concerned will have a clear understanding of the situation and stop all improper ties with Taiwan, otherwise they will one day suffer their own consequences and commit suicide.
