After the sudden earthquake in Taiwan's Lotus River, Bolivia's actions directly caused the Taiwan authorities to break their defenses, and the PLA's recent movements in the Taiwan Strait region are also very rare. #军史观察团#
It is reported that on the 3rd of this month, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 and an epicenter depth of 12 kilometers occurred in the waters of Lianhua County, Taiwan Region, which is also the largest earthquake in Taiwan since 1999. Moreover, after the Lianhua County earthquake erupted, the number of aftershocks has exceeded 160 for several consecutive days.
According to the latest statistics from relevant departments in Taiwan, the Lotus earthquake has killed 13 people, injured more than 1,145 people, trapped hundreds of people, and many people are still missing. Taiwan's "Ministry of Agriculture" estimates that the losses caused by this round of earthquake to agricultural products and private facilities in Taiwan will reach NT$68.78 million.
However, the sudden earthquake in Taiwan has caused many problems. First of all, there are considerable problems in the monitoring and control of Taiwan's "Meteorological Administration." It is understood that after the 7.3-magnitude earthquake, there are still 6 areas in Taiwan that have not received relevant alarm notices at the first time, including important urban areas such as Taipei City and New Taipei City.
If the earthquake warning is not received in time, it means that the judgment and escape of the people on the island will have a serious impact, and the safety of life cannot be guaranteed at all, which has also aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people on the island. In this regard, the explanation given by Taiwan's "Meteorological Administration" is that the seismic intensity in these areas does not meet the standards of warning notices.
However, according to the topography of the Taiwan Basin, the seismic waves will show an amplified effect after an earthquake occurs, so the argument of Taiwan's "Meteorological Administration" is completely untenable. Second, there are many dangerous buildings in Taiwan. After the strong earthquake on the 3rd, the problem of houses collapsing on the island has become endless, and even buildings that have not collapsed have become dangerous buildings.
The Uranus building on Lotus Zhongshan Road was judged to be dangerous as early as the 2018 earthquake, and it collapsed directly after this strong earthquake. Obviously, the above problems are the best proof of the Taiwan authorities' failure to fulfill their responsibilities. Therefore, in the past few days, the island has been full of complaints against the DPP authorities.
However, the most difficult thing for the DPP authorities to accept about the earthquake was a move by Bolivia. Due to the great impact of the Lotus earthquake in Taiwan, it has also aroused great concern from all walks of life, and many countries and international organizations have also expressed concern about the Taiwan region on this matter.
However, Bolivia expressed its solidarity with the Taiwan region to Chinese mainland on this matter for the first time, and this move also directly broke the defense of the Taiwan authorities. Taiwan's "foreign affairs department" also issued a special document saying that it was quite a "wrong act" for the Bolivian government to directly express its concern over the earthquake disaster in Taiwan to the mainland, and they expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest against it.
Not only that, Wu Zhaoxie, the "head of Taiwan's foreign affairs department", also posted on social platforms claiming that Bolivia should not become a "puppet" of the mainland. Not only that, Geng Shuang, deputy permanent representative of the mainland to the United Nations, specifically expressed gratitude to the international community for Taiwan's relationship with the earthquake disaster at the UN General Assembly Security Council, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Taiwan authorities.
It can be seen from this that even in the face of such natural and man-made disasters, the Taiwan authorities have not forgotten to "manipulate politics" and slander the mainland. However, Bolivia's move also proves that abiding by the "one-China" principle is the general trend of the international community and is also universally supported by the international community.
It is worth mentioning that in the past few days since the earthquake occurred in Taiwan, the Taiwan military has discovered that the movement of the PLA is relatively rare. It has been learned that Taiwan's "defense department" has found that from 3 to 6 July, the frequency of activities of aircraft and warships of the Continental Army around the Taiwan Strait has decreased, with only three military planes and seven warships.
Moreover, this time the Continental Army aircraft did not fly over the so-called "median line of the strait". You must know that after the "14 February Kinmen vicious collision with a ship" incident, both the mainland coast guard and the military intensified their activities in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait, and the flight of the Continental Army planes over the so-called "center line of the strait" was a normal move.
However, judging from the movements of the People's Liberation Army in the past two days, there is indeed a certain relaxation compared with before. First, out of consideration for the earthquake disaster in Taiwan, the mainland does not want to increase the pressure on the people on the island at this critical juncture. Second, it is to create a suitable atmosphere for Ma Ying-jeou's recent visit to the mainland.
Even on the day Ma Ying-jeou arrived on the mainland, the PLA did not appear in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait. It can be seen from this that as long as the island makes some corresponding moves that are beneficial to cross-strait relations, the mainland side will also respond. The reason why cross-strait relations have come to this point is completely manipulated by the Taiwan authorities, and even the opportunity of an earthquake will not be missed.
Of course, these acts of the Taiwan authorities are nothing more than clowns, and cross-strait reunification is a fact that no one can change.
