Lai Qingde is about to take office, and in fact, in the recent stage, Taiwan has shown off its weapons one after another, including the use of F-16V fighters and IDF fighters to project air-to-plane precision-guided weapons in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan used its main fighter planes and dropped live ammunition in the Taiwan Strait, highlighting Taiwan's intention to show off its force. Recently, Taiwan Island has also used the Jiupeng base in the southeast to carry out live projection of various weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, and has also used E-2T airborne early warning planes and P-3C maritime antisubmarine patrol planes to carry out tasks in the sea and airspace east of Taiwan Island.
At present, Taiwan Island has a rhythm of not allowing the PLA to reunify by force, because while showing off force on Taiwan, there is also collusion with the United States, and foreign media have disclosed information claiming that the Taiwan Island Fleet had a "chance encounter" with the US Navy fleet in April, and a joint maritime exercise was also carried out for this purpose. According to relevant reports, Taiwan's fleet and the US Navy fleet have interacted in the waters of the western Pacific, and in fact, this is not the first time that Taiwan has colluded with the US Navy by means of a "chance encounter." It has been an open secret that the so-called "Dunmu Fleet" has been used to conduct joint operations with the US Navy in the waters of the western Pacific Ocean before.
In fact, when the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command was handed over, the Pentagon invited relevant personnel from Taiwan to participate, and when the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet took office, Taiwan also participated, highlighting the close cooperation between the United States and Taiwan in the military field. The foreign media's disclosure of the interaction between the Taiwan Fleet and the US Navy has already warned the PLA, because as 20 May approaches, the US military has been moving very frequently, during which there have been activities of the CVN 71 aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt in the South China Sea, and missile destroyers have also been used to break into the Taiwan Strait, and at the same time, the US military has also RC-135 strategic reconnaissance planes in the sea and air space near East China and South China, which has highlighted the intentions of the United States.
At the most urgent stage, the US media repeatedly released their claims, declaring that the PLA would not be allowed to "cause trouble" around 20 May, highlighting the strategic intention of the United States to support the DPP. It can also be seen from the US Navy's use of the CVN76 USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier to start its combat deployment in 2024 that the US Navy is trying to put pressure on the PLA through the deployment of two aircraft carriers, and at the same time, it is also to release a signal to the PLA through military interaction with Taiwan, highlighting the sinister intention of the United States to manipulate the "Taiwan card". The PLA will not sit idly by and watch the aggressive posture of the US military and the trick of Taiwan actively cooperating with the US strategy, and Japan has announced the PLA's developments.
In addition to the commonly used 052D missile destroyers and 054A missile frigates, the PLA has also used 056 missile frigates to enter the waters east of the Ryukyus, so as to counter the aggressive posture of the US military. In addition, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) also has military planes that have crossed the Miyako Strait and the Bass Strait and entered the sea and airspace east of Taiwan Island to carry out their missions, and the PLA's signal is very clear that if the United States dares to cross the red line, the PLA's counterattack will not be relentless. Recently, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has released a video of the YJ-21 hypersonic missile projection, which is a language that the Pentagon wants to understand.
