British Prime Minister Sunak declared on November 28 that the "golden age" between Britain and China is a thing of the past, when in fact the so-called "golden age" was initiated when Sunak was the British economy minister, and now Sunak has slapped himself in the face. After Sunak became prime minister, he took a tough stance, a 180-degree change from Sunak's previous attitude. Before attending the G20 summit, Sunak issued a threat, declaring that he would provide military aid to Taiwan Island, which the United States did not dare to say, so Sunak ate a closed-door soup in Indonesia, and the scheduled bilateral meeting between China and Britain was temporarily canceled.
Today's Britain is no longer an "empire that never sets", and in international affairs, Britain's presence is extremely low, just like Canada, often taking advantage of the heat to show its existence. When the United States contained and contained China, Britain also impulsively rushed to the front line, which can be described as "not learning". Sunak has tried to maintain his approval rating by taking a hard line and trying to target China. In the Boris era, Britain was planning to keep up with the pace of the United States, suppressing China in many areas, and deploying aircraft carriers to China's doorstep, exposing the essence of Britain as a follower of the United States, and now Britain is ready to move again.
According to foreign media reports, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British Parliament may visit Taiwan Island in the near future, originally Kerns planned to visit Taiwan Island in February this year, and later because of many events in British politics, the visit was postponed. In August, Kerns said he would arrive in late November or early December for a visit, and the People's Liberation Army continued its regular deterrent patrols at a time when British lawmakers might be on the move. According to information released by Taiwan's defense department, the PLA dispatched a number of fighters and warships on November 28 to conduct combat patrols in the sea and air space around Taiwan.
Judging from the announcement issued by the Taiwan defense department, except for the change of time, the rest of the wording is the same, because the PLA has achieved a "new normal" around Taiwan Island since August, including the deployment of warships in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island, so as to achieve an all-round presence around Taiwan Island. Taiwan's defense department, which previously only announced PLA combat patrols in the airspace southwest of Taiwan, now covers the Taiwan Strait and the rest of the direction, so the change is enormous.
In the face of the normal deterrence of the PLA, Taiwan Island is "exhausted", because it is necessary to use fighter jets for emergency takeoff, and the PLA's deterrence pressure is not fixed, so it is likely to be a night military operation, thus putting Taiwan's defense forces in a state of high tension. As far as the air and sea forces of Taiwan Island are concerned, they are not qualified to compete with the PLA; the PLA's air and sea forces often arrive close to Taiwan Island, and they once saw Taipei city by sight, and the actual actions of the PLA deterred the "Taiwan independence" forces. The PLA has long stated that it will "not hesitate to fight" to smash the separatist plot of "Taiwan independence."
