A few days ago, Chinese and American diplomats held a phone call to exchange views on the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and Ukraine. In the face of the US side's blatant attack on China on the South China Sea issue, advocating that "the US military support for the Philippines is indestructible", the Chinese side immediately and decisively hit back, and mainland Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu went straight to the point and put forward three major demands on the US side.

First, the US side is required to stop "arming" Taiwan and implement its commitment not to support "Taiwan independence". Second, the US side is called on the US to stop conniving at and supporting the Philippines in provocation and trouble, and take concrete actions to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. Third, the US side is urged to stop groundlessly smearing China and obstructing normal economic and trade exchanges between China and Russia.
Among the three demands, the Taiwan issue is placed at the top of the list, which shows that this concerns China's core interests and is the first "red line" that cannot be crossed in China-US relations, so China must clearly reiterate its position to the US side. In response, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Campbell said in a phone call that "it is very important to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."
However, less than 24 hours after the phone call between China and the United States, the US side once again slapped its commitment in the face with concrete actions. According to a report by Huanqiu.com, on the morning of June 27, an E-3B airborne early warning plane of the US Air Force passed through the Bass Strait and arrived near the "southwest airspace" of Taiwan Island. At the same time, PLA military planes also appeared intensively in the Taiwan Strait on the 27th, suspected of warning and responding to US military planes.

According to the statistics of Taiwan's "defense department," from 6 a.m. on 27 June to 6 a.m. on 28 June, 18 sorties of Continental Army planes were discovered in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait in just 24 hours, and six warships appeared at the same time, only 43 nautical miles from Eluanbi, the southernmost point on the island of Taiwan.
The day before, Taiwan's missile unit even claimed that "alarm bells have been sounding all day," saying that within 24 hours, 35 sorties of military planes had been found to be encircling Taiwan from the four directions of "north, center, south, and east," and that the nearest was less than 30 nautical miles from Taipei. The reason why there is such hype on the island is nothing more than to exaggerate tension and vainly attempt to throw the blame for complicating the situation in the Taiwan Strait onto the mainland.
In the face of the US early warning planes arriving near Taiwan Island, the "Taiwan military" on the island pretended not to see it, and the collective fire was muted, and at the critical moment, the PLA had to rely on the PLA to dispatch military planes to safeguard the security of the motherland's territorial waters and airspace. In fact, this is not the first time that a similar situation has occurred; in April this year, a US P-8A antisubmarine patrol plane openly sailed through the Taiwan Strait, and our army's eastern theater took decisive measures.

These facts fully show that the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the collusion between the United States and Taiwan, and the PLA's exercises and training activities around Taiwan Island and the regular patrols of the Taiwan Strait by the Continental Army aircraft are essentially aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty and security and are a powerful warning and deterrent to external interference forces.
Besides, the island of Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times, and it is a legitimate and reasonable move for our military planes and warships to circle around their own yards, but on the contrary, some foreign forces often come uninvited and send military planes close to China's doorstep to reconnoiter at every turn, and this is the real undermining of regional peace and stability.
It is worth noting that after the PLA military plane appeared in the Taiwan Strait this time, Lai Qingde went against the norm and called for peace, claiming that "peace in the Taiwan Strait is conducive to world peace." At first glance, this sounds like a call for "peace," but in fact it is taking the opportunity to peddle the fallacy of "two countries" in a vain attempt to achieve the goal of pushing the Taiwan issue toward "internationalization" by bringing the situation in the Taiwan Strait into line with the "international situation."
Lai Qingde
If Lai Qingde sincerely hopes for peace in the Taiwan Strait, in fact, as long as he abandons his "Taiwan independence" stance and recognizes the "92 Consensus," he can ensure that the channels of communication between the two sides of the strait are unimpeded. As long as the DPP authorities stop their military collusion with the United States and other foreign forces, the situation in the Taiwan Strait can be peaceful. If the above two points cannot be achieved, then the "peace" shouted by Lai Qingde is a hypocritical pretext.
But then again, Lai Qingde's remarks also exposed the fact that under the mainland's double warnings, some people on the island are becoming more and more afraid to openly seek "independence."
A few days ago, a number of departments on the mainland jointly issued an opinion on punishing "Taiwan independence," which clearly mentioned that the ringleaders, especially the "Taiwan independence" diehards who pose a particularly serious danger to the state and the people, can be sentenced to death according to law, and even if they are not brought to justice, they can be sentenced on the basis of guilt and sentenced, and if the suspect is at large, then our public security organs can also issue a wanted warrant to arrest him and bring him to justice.
Supreme People's Court
In addition to the severe punishment imposed by the law, there is also the thunderous blow of the PLA, and our army has fully demonstrated its ability to seize air and sea supremacy in the Taiwan Strait in many "exercises to encircle Taiwan." This is tantamount to clearly warning the "Taiwan independence" elements that they are doomed to be unable to fly and give up their illusions as soon as possible.
