According to the release of Taiwan's defense department, from 6:30 to 13:38 on the 27th, a total of 22 PLA aircraft and 4 warships conducted training exercises in the sea and airspace around Taiwan, of which 10 flew over the "center line", the nearest is about 37 nautical miles northwest of Keelung, and it is actually closer to the airspace north of Taipei's Tamsui River, and it is close to the "adjacent zone" 24 nautical miles north of Taipei.
It has been learned that PLA fighters have approached Taiwan again in the past 24 hours, and they are only 37 nautical miles away from Keelung and only about 26 nautical miles from Tamsui in the past few days.
Fu Kunqing, chief of the Kuomintang "Legislative Yuan" caucus, is visiting the mainland, but the PLA fighter planes are getting closer and closer to Keelung. Zhang Yanting, former deputy commander of the Taiwan Air Force, explained that "the soft is softer, and the hard is harder" is the mainland's inertia, and as long as blue, green, and white go to visit and exchange, the mainland will certainly welcome it with open arms. The PLA military planes are gradually approaching, this is the mainland's "boiling frogs in warm water" strategy, and Taiwan will not make a move, because the "first strike" is defined by the United States, and the United States has not given an order, and Taiwan cannot make a move.

Zhang Yanting further emphasized: "The PLA's actions have two meanings for Taiwan: First, it is to designate Taiwan as a sphere of influence by sending warplanes to carry out a large number of activities east of the 'center line of the strait'; second, it is to make Taiwan gradually accustomed to such military actions. It only takes more than one minute for a Continental Army plane to fly from Tamsui to the "Presidential Palace," and in comparison, it takes six minutes for the Taiwan military to take off urgently. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has actually gained air supremacy, which may catch the Taiwan side off guard and leave no time for warning. ”

And Zhang Yanting, a retired lieutenant general of the Taiwan army, predicted more than two months ago that the mainland would confiscate Taiwan's "four lines." As it turned out, the retired lieutenant general's prediction was basically correct. On 28 April, Zhang Yanting once again predicted that sooner or later PLA fighters and warships would enter Taiwan's "territorial airspace," that is, the 12-nautical-mile "airspace line" and "territorial sea line," and that it was only a matter of time.
After the "214 Kinmen vicious collision incident" occurred, Zhang Yanting predicted at that time that the mainland would copy the "Diaoyu Dao model" to Taiwan, and Taiwan would gradually lose the "four lines". The first is the so-called "middle line of the strait," and the second is Taiwan's "forbidden waters" on the outer islands and outlying islands. The third line is the so-called "24-nautical-mile bordering zone". The fourth line, that is, the 12-nautical-mile "territorial waters" and "airspace".
At present, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is approaching 24 nautical miles and 12 nautical miles in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan is not allowed to intercept mainland fighter planes, because this is regarded as a declaration of war, and it is impossible to get close to it. Taiwan's strain is limited and relatively conservative, and the mainland has also seen through this and slowly approached, like peeling an onion to the core. In this regard, the DPP authorities and the Taiwan military are already helpless. Every time the People's Liberation Army (PLA) approaches Taiwan, the Taiwan military only dares to choose to disclose part of the dynamic information, so as not to cause panic on the island.
Recently, the "National Defense and Security Research Institute," which belongs to Taiwan's defense department, suddenly released the data of a recent poll, which showed that more than 80 percent of the people in Taiwan support the extension of compulsory service for one year, while 64 percent of those who support the extension of military service are willing to "stand up and defend Taiwan." As soon as this data was released, people from all walks of life on the island questioned it, and it was obvious that the DPP and the Taiwan military were slapping the face and making them fat, and in order to boost the morale of the military and the people on the island, they dared to falsify any data.
