In recent years, with the intervention of foreign forces, the situation in Taiwan has become more and more complicated. Although China has repeatedly stressed its firm opposition to interference in China's internal affairs by foreign forces, the United States, Japan and other countries still go their own way. Even RECENTLY, US President Joe Biden openly shouted to "protect Taiwan", although the White House later said that Biden's remarks did not represent US policy, but Biden's remarks fully reflected the undeserved intentions of the United States.
In view of the continuous interference of the United States and other countries in Taiwan's affairs, the number of cruises in Taiwan's airspace by China's military planes has also increased. It is reported that since the beginning of this year, the Platon Has sent more than 600 aircraft to patrol the station, far exceeding last year. Not only that, since the beginning of this year, the types of military aircraft that our army has cruised Taiwan have become more and more diversified, including bombers, electronic warfare aircraft, and anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
According to reports, on October 25, another military plane of our army flew into the airspace southwest of Taiwan. The news comes from Taiwan's "Southwest Airspace Air Situation Dynamics" report. The report shows that on the 25th, a PLA Y-8 electronic warfare plane (known as a long-range jammer in Taiwan) entered the airspace of southwest Taiwan.
After the "Taiwan military" discovered the movement of this plane, it immediately dispatched fighter planes to take off into the air to deal with it. In addition, the PLA military plane was also tracked and monitored by the ground missile unit of the "Taiwan Army," and it was not until the plane left the airspace that the "Taiwan Army" lifted its surveillance.
With regard to similar speculation and reports from the Taiwan side, our military has long stressed that Taiwan is China's territory, and it is normal for the People's Liberation Army to cruise the airspace southwest of Taiwan, and Taiwan does not need to make a fuss. However, there is a question that has always plagued many people, that is, every time the PLA military plane inspects Taiwan, it chooses the airspace in southwest Taiwan, why is the airspace favored by the PLA?
For this question, recently, the Hong Kong media borrowed the words of experts to answer. First of all, the location of the southwest airspace in Taiwan is relatively special. Experts say there is a gap in the central mountain range in the airspace southwest of Taiwan, where the altitude is below 3,000 meters. Therefore, after the PLA military aircraft arrive in this airspace, they can detect Taiwan's air bases deployed in Hualien and Taitung through radar, so that the PLA can understand its movements.
The second is the reason for air traffic control. Experts said that because Taiwan is located along the coast, there are a large number of civil aviation aircraft in the airspace of the region every day. If the PLA military aircraft take off from the air base in Fujian, then the airspace over which the military aircraft flies, if the flight ban is to be implemented, the civil aviation aircraft in Fujian will be grounded for 4 hours, which will have a major impact on domestic and international flights, so that it will cause economic losses.
If the PLA military plane chooses to fly south, it will enter the sky over Hong Kong. As an important port city, Hong Kong has more international flights over the city every day, and in order not to affect the normal traffic of civil aviation aircraft, PLA military aircraft can only choose to detour.
Relatively speaking, the airspace in southwest Taiwan is relatively large, and there are few civil aviation aircraft, and PLA military aircraft can conduct military training or other activities in the area, and will not interfere with normal navigation activities. Because of this, the PLA has always chosen the southwest airspace of Taiwan for the area where the PEOPLE's Liberation Army patrols Taiwan.
It is worth noting that every time the US military plane arrives at Taiwan, it is also the southwest airspace of Taiwan, and it seems that the United States also seems to have some understanding of the relevant situation in Taiwan's airspace. This has also given our country a wake-up call, that is, it is necessary to strengthen the patrol work in Taiwan's airspace and prevent US military planes from reaching Taiwan for reconnaissance.
As the situation becomes more and more complicated, the United States' attention to the Taiwan issue will certainly increase. In this regard, the Chinese side has stressed its position many times, if the United States and some people on the island continue to do wrongs, then they will face the iron fist of the Plaster.
At the same time, we also advise the US side not to interfere in China's internal affairs. Especially in the case of the United States facing many troubles today, focusing on its own development and solving its own troubles is the most important thing, and causing trouble for China will only make the United States have more trouble.
