Since the Kinmen conflict, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Coast Guard have strengthened their control over the Taiwan Strait, and Chinese warplanes and warships have also traveled to and from the Taiwan Strait many times. This has caused panic among a considerable number of people, who fear that the PLA will continue to intensify its efforts to carry out "quarantine missions" in the region.
As early as 2022, when Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, the mainland implemented relevant measures, and the exercise area surrounded the island of Taiwan on all sides, with the intention of "military reunification".
It's a good idea to surround but not fight
Since 2022, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has conducted a number of large-scale combat exercises in Taiwan's waters, each of which has attracted the attention of many parties. Among them, the siege and isolation strategy has the greatest impact on the island, and many media in Taiwan have set up special columns to discuss countermeasures. Some of the statements are so bold that they even consider the possibility of the DPP authorities surrendering to the PLA.
Judging from past experience, the PLA will not easily take radical measures, and often adopts the strategy of silent encirclement and verbal warning, even in the face of countries in conflict, the PLA can refrain from firing the first shot. However, this time, unlike the previous step-by-step exercise, the actual combat drill was directly carried out, which made the DPP authorities feel threatened.
On the topic of besieging and isolating Taiwan, Taiwan's local media appear to be very active. They conducted an in-depth analysis of the various possible scenarios facing the island, and invited politicians and military officers to discuss countermeasures.
First of all, the most intuitive thing is that during each exercise, because of the live-fire exercise, many areas are no longer suitable for navigation, and Taiwan's trade volume and the number of tourists coming to Taiwan have been greatly reduced. It has undoubtedly dealt a blow to the economic situation in Taiwan, especially the supply of daily necessities will be hindered.
Second, Taiwan itself is in serious predicament. Due to its small usable land area and large population, Taiwan is highly dependent on imports for energy and food. In such a situation, the import pressure caused by any military action would have a strong and far-reaching impact on Taiwan.
A former deputy commander-in-chief of the "Taiwan military" openly stated that the PLA's siege and quarantine of Taiwan will only take 10 days to cause a serious energy shortage on the island. In fact, even if the People's Liberation Army does not besiege Taiwan, Taiwan's energy resources are often insufficient. In recent years, there have been many large-scale power outages in Taiwan.
What should the authorities do to encircle but not fight Taiwan
This method of encircling but not fighting is extremely powerful, and these situations may occur once Taiwan is faced with such a situation. First of all, the mainland will certainly not pose any threat to the survival of Taiwan's residents, so the mainland may consider adopting some modest policy measures, such as targeted restrictions on the entry and exit of ships in and out of port areas and airport take-off and landing flights.
Second, although the mainland will ensure that the people of Taiwan can get the basic necessities for survival, Taiwan's economic operations will be greatly affected, which will be enough to trigger the financial difficulties of the Taiwan authorities, and its ability to bear it may not be able to continue to sustain in the end. Under such circumstances, Taiwan will have to adjust its strategy and look for an opportunity to resolve the issue through peaceful consultations with the mainland.
In addition, once the PLA adopts the strategy of "encircling but not fighting," the DPP authorities may also hope that the United States will provide assistance. However, the result will disappoint the DPP authorities, and the United States will never send troops, because the US military has long concluded that the United States has no chance of winning a war against China within 1,000 nautical miles of China's coastline.
Finally, will the United States blockade or sanction China? The answer is also no, because the US military simply cannot draw such a large number of troops to blockade China. Even if the blockade is successful, China has a vast territory, a complete industrial chain, and a huge population and resources, and can completely get rid of the US blockade and become self-reliant.
And when it comes to sanctions, it is even more impossible, because the economic and trade exchanges between the United States and China are extremely frequent, and the amount of money is extremely huge, which can be said to affect the whole body, and sanctions against China are actually equivalent to sanctions against the United States itself. The trade war launched by Trump is the best proof of this, why did Trump finally stop increasing tariffs, is it because of his conscience?
Based on the analysis of the above-mentioned circumstances, we can conclude that "encircling but not fighting" is the most powerful means, and there are almost no effective countermeasures; if the siege and isolation of Taiwan begins, the DPP authorities will not be able to hold on to it, and the boiling public opinion on the island will instantly disintegrate the ruling foundation of the DPP authorities.
But let's also be clear that strategic siege and isolation is not passively waiting, but proactive. By gradually narrowing the encirclement of the island of Taiwan, the PLA is like an "iron bucket" in the midst of the siege, causing the "Taiwan independence" elements to feel the crisis and pressure, thus urging them to return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible.
At the same time, the PLA has also embodied a siege and isolation strategy in military operations. After landing on the island in the future, a complete block control system will be gradually built. This tactical idea of "encircling but not attacking" has enabled the PLA to concentrate superior forces, gradually expand the scope of control, and avoid frontal clashes that will cause greater harm to the people of Taiwan.
In doing so, we should implement measures to declare war criminals and conduct "decapitation operations". As a result, the DPP will fall into a state where everyone is in danger, many people will take the initiative to contact our army, and a large number of "Taiwan troops" will defect or revolt because of this, thus promoting the process of reunification.
Moreover, the concept of siege and isolation does not stop at the military realm. Political, diplomatic, and economic aspects should also follow suit, and we can cut off the ties between the Taiwan authorities and those so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" in order to weaken their influence. At the same time, by enhancing its own economic strength and suppressing the economy of Taiwan, let it return to the embrace of the motherland.
epilogue
We believe that our army's exercise will sound the alarm for those who attempt to engage in separatist activities, and any separatist behavior will be severely punished. Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times, and any attempt to split will be regarded as a betrayal of the Chinese nation, and will be strongly condemned by the people of the whole country.
The mainland's stand of upholding national territorial integrity and opposing Taiwan independence is beyond doubt. The Chinese Government resolutely upholds national sovereignty and territorial integrity and opposes any form of separatist activities. At the same time, China also calls on the international community to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and not to interfere in the internal affairs of any country.
