Since 12:00 on August 4, the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been conducting joint exercises in the sea and airspace around Taiwan Island for consecutive days. On the 6th, a photo of the training site released by the People's Navy showed that the hull of a Taiwan frigate was rusty. According to reports, the ship was leased from the United States and has been in service for more than 50 years.
On the 8th, Taiwan media person Zhang Mengchong posted a video on multiple platforms criticizing the Taiwan authorities, saying that Tsai Ing-wen and others voluntarily became THE "watchdogs" of the United States, and that the "dog food" they bought themselves was still "garbage" that americans did not want.

On August 6, a photograph of the People's Navy's perspective was announced, showing a naval warrior standing on the ship and looking out, and the rust on the coastline and mountains not far away, as well as on the hull of the frigate "Lanyang", was clearly visible. It is understood that the "Lanyang" frigate hull number 935, which is leased from the United States, is the old and rusty "Knox" class frigate, which has been in service for more than 50 years and is in dilapidated.

As soon as this map was released, it immediately aroused heated discussion between the two sides of the strait. Some Taiwan netizens made a comparison of the warships of the two sides, and compared with the Taiwan military's "Lanyang" frigate, it was more "shabby."

Some Taiwan netizens laughed at themselves on social media, and the Taiwan military should also brush the paint of the battleship, and now it is "not yet started to fight and has lost."
Some netizens on the island were angry, pointing out that Taiwan had spent a high price and bought a battleship from the United States, but it was still so broken.
On the 8th, Taiwan media person Zhang Mengchong posted a video on multiple platforms criticizing the Taiwan authorities, saying that Tsai Ing-wen and others voluntarily became US "watch dogs", and their own "dog food" was still "garbage". He said: The "Lanyang" that the Taiwan authorities rented from the United States at a high price was something that the United States had eliminated long ago, and the Taiwan military still won the most precious treasure.
In the video, he even questioned the Tsai authorities one after another, spending more than 20 billion US dollars on arms bought from the United States, in exchange for what? Zhang Mengchong shelled the DPP, saying that he was "clinging to the thighs of the United States," dreaming of "relying on the United States for independence," and blatantly changing the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, but only for the sake of the DPP's political self-interest, but sacrificing the well-being of the Taiwan people and "selling Taiwan."

Zhang Mengchong was a founding member of the Democratic Progressive Party, but after seeing the true face of the DPP, he resolutely decided to quit the party, and now he is the spokesman of the Party for promoting the reunification of China. After the DPP authorities agreed to the entry of the US "Lai Pig" and Fukushima Foods into Taiwan, he bitterly criticized that "the dignity of the Taiwan people" is to dare to stand and speak to the United States and Japan, not to "kneel." ”
In addition, this is not the first time that Zhang Mengchong has referred to the Tsai authorities as a "watchdog" in the United States that "prepares its own dog food.". As early as April this year, he had uploaded a video on the platform, angrily criticizing Taiwan for spending $95 million to buy arms sales projects from the United States at a high price, not only thanking the United States for being complacent, but in fact" the "Taiwan authorities spent the hard-earned money of the Taiwan people and bought expired dog food at a high price in front of the US watchdog" and was still "wagging his tail", and he called on the people of Taiwan to "wake up" in the video.
On August 8, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference that China's military exercises are open, transparent, professional, and in line with domestic law, international law, and international practice, and are aimed at warning the perpetrators and punishing the "Taiwan independence" forces. We will firmly safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, resolutely curb the US plot to "use Taiwan to control China," and resolutely smash the Taiwan authorities' illusion of "seeking independence with the United States." At the same time, China is also upholding international law and the basic norms governing international relations, especially the most important principle of international law, non-interference in internal affairs stipulated in the UN Charter.
