On May 20, the day of Lai Qingde's "inauguration" is getting closer and closer.
But Lai Qingde was not very smooth, in order to make the "inauguration ceremony" not unexpected, Lai Qingde had to go through the pomp and circumstance first. However, what is surprising is that the sudden change in the weather in Taiwan has directly caused a large number of fighters who are ready to participate in the rehearsal to lie down.
For Lai Qingde, this is definitely not a "good sign". The outside world also said, "God doesn't want him to be happy."
And this is not the most distressing place for Lai Qingde, recently, he received the "ultimate reminder" from a former senior US official.
Lai Qingde's "inauguration ceremony" is approaching, but there are few voices responding to it on the island. With the exception of the DPP authorities, most of the KMT members chose to refuse to attend.
Although some Kuomintang nationals eventually changed their tune for the sake of their personal political future and fate, most of them still fulfilled the results of the resolution of the Kuomintang's "caucus congress."
In addition to the setbacks on the island, the mainland's actions have also given Lai Qingde and the DPP authorities a "sigh of relief."
Recently, mainland activities in the Kinmen area have been very frequent. In less than two weeks in May, the mainland coast guard carried out five law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen.
By doing so, the mainland is showing with concrete actions that the mainland has the right to enforce the law in this area. This model will also be applied to the entire "Taiwan Strait" in the future.
In addition, the mainland's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, also ended its sea trials perfectly. This also affected the island. The stronger the mainland's surface strength, the more favorable it will be for the operation to recover Taiwan.
At this juncture, Aquilino, who served as the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, issued an "ultimate reminder" to the Taiwan authorities.
Aquilino has always had a penchant for stirring up tensions.
In March, Aquilino publicly threatened the Chinese side.
"As long as one sailor, soldier or other member is killed".
Then the Philippines can request the activation of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty.
Both inside and outside the words are hinting that the Philippines can ask a US military to "take action" even if it goes to "make trouble", if the matter is big. ”
Not only that, but he also hypocritically hoped that the international community would stand up and put pressure on China.
In addition to the South China Sea, Aquilino also set his sights on the Taiwan Strait. On March 20, Aquilino testified before the Armed Services Committee of the House of Representatives:
"All indications are that the PLA is preparing for an attack on Taiwan in 2027."
To this end, Aquilino also came up with various so-called evidence, saying that China has added 400 warplanes and 20 major warships since 2020.
In addition, the number of Chinese missiles and cruise missiles has doubled.
It can be seen that Aquilino was very keen on arch fire. Because what he said is nothing more than to aggravate the tension in the "Taiwan Strait region" and to hype up the "China threat theory."
Even after leaving office, Aquilino was the same. Around the time Lai Qingde was about to usher in the "inauguration ceremony," Aquilino began to jump up and down again, making a big fuss about the "Taiwan issue." It even issued a warning to the Taiwan authorities, saying that the mainland will make "big moves" in the near future.
He said that "the mainland may enter the Kinmen and Matsu areas around May 20 and 'intrude' the Taiwan area."
When the Taiwan authorities learned of this, they immediately said that they "would exhaust all means of monitoring to keep abreast of the mainland's developments in a timely manner."
At the same time, the Taiwanese military also plans to purchase suicide drones from the United States. This has further aggravated tensions in the "Taiwan Strait area."
Obviously, all this is Aquilino's hand to make the Taiwan authorities nervous and thus push the United States to sell arms to Taiwan. And in addition to making similar remarks, Aquilino also released a ridiculous remark, that is, to let the Taiwan region follow Israel's example.
"360,000 troops will be dispatched in one day to respond to military operations against Taiwan that the PLA may launch at any time."
In response to Aquilino's remarks, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded.
Chen Binhua said: "Some anti-China forces in the United States have hyped up 'Ukraine today, Taiwan tomorrow,' and now they are clamoring for 'Taiwan to follow Israel'." All of these are sending very dangerous signals.
The United States is doing this in order to arch the fire. And where the United States arches the fire, it will suffer. The sinister intentions of the United States in exploiting, attributing, and sacrificing Taiwan have once again been exposed.
