A few days ago, just after the Chinese and US defense ministers had a phone call, an antisubmarine patrol plane of the US Seventh Fleet flew over the Taiwan Strait. According to Taiwan's defense department, a US P8A antisubmarine patrol plane flew over the Taiwan Strait from north to south, and the Taiwan military monitored the situation, and there was no abnormality in the surrounding area; the Taiwan region did not comment on the US military plane's flight over the Taiwan Strait, but it put on a "monitoring" posture as if the Taiwan region had "sovereignty" in front of the United States.
With regard to the passage of US patrol planes through the Taiwan Strait, the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) pointed out that the PLA has organized fighter planes to monitor and monitor the passage of US military planes, handle them in accordance with laws and regulations, and keep the troops on high alert at all times to resolutely defend national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability. It can be seen that the mainland is well aware that the US military plane's move is provoking China's principled stand on the Taiwan issue, showing that it wants to trample on China's first red line, and is preparing to interfere in China's internal affairs and intervene in China's Taiwan Strait.
The Taiwan region will look at it differently. Of course, the Taiwan region knows that the US military is "protecting Taiwan" and putting pressure on the mainland, demonstrating the so-called "rock-solid relationship between the United States and Taiwan," and showing that the United States is "using force to oppose reunification and contain China." In this regard, the Taiwan region is very happy, but it wants to be very hypocritical and especially capable of pretending to be garlic, saying that "monitoring the situation" and "there is no abnormality."
As a matter of fact, the main content of the phone call between the Chinese and US defense ministers is inseparable from the Taiwan issue, the issue of "armed reunification" of the mainland in the Taiwan Strait because of "Taiwan independence," and the issue of war between China and the United States as a result of US intervention. Therefore, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun stressed that the "Taiwan issue" is the core of China's core interests, and China's core interests will absolutely not be allowed to be damaged, and the PLA will never let it go unchecked to all "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and external connivance and support.
The mainland's stance and warning are also familiar to the "United States and Taiwan." They can't disbelieve it, they can't believe it all, so the US side keeps looking for various opportunities and reasons to engage in so-called "communication and dialogue" at various levels and in all aspects, and on the other hand, it makes all kinds of temptations and provocations to test China's response and see if it can get a glimpse of China's bottom line and omissions.
The Chinese side has long been well aware of this kind of play by the United States, and everyone is very patient. One day, when the continent is ready, everything is ripe, and reunification will be achieved in one fell swoop, and the Americans will be driven out of the stage.
