In recent times, the plaster's military activities have become more and more frequent as countries such as the United States and Japan have provoked our country more and more frequently. In order to cope with and deter the United States, Japan and other countries, the PLA has conducted military exercises in many sea areas this year. Every time there is a military exercise, the relevant sea areas will implement a no-navigation order. Since the beginning of this year, China has issued many air bans.
According to reports, recently, the Dalian Maritime Safety Bureau has once again issued a ban on navigation. According to the announcement, from 16:00 p.m. on October 31 to 16:00 on November 14, the PLA will carry out military missions in the Bohai Strait and the northern yellow sea for 15 consecutive days, during which unrelated ships are prohibited from entering the sea.
It is reported that the Bohai Strait is an important strait connecting the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and the strait has a very important strategic significance and has been a place where soldiers and families must contend since ancient times. Therefore, the PLA's military mission in the Bohai Strait for 15 consecutive days has also attracted attention. In addition, there is also a very important information, although the PLA holds more and more frequent military exercises, but 15 consecutive days of military missions are relatively rare.
Especially in the current situation of increasing tension around China, the PLA's military mission is undoubtedly sending an important signal. First of all, China's northeast region is across the sea from Japan, and this exercise is conducted in the Bohai Strait, and the distance from Japan is not far, so this exercise is bound to make Japan feel flustered.
Since Kishida Washumi was elected prime minister of Japan, he has shown a rare tough stance to the outside world. In the face of China, Kishida Even said that "China will not retreat one step." Although Kishida Fumio's move is meant to please conservatives, it also reflects Kishida Fumio's own attitude toward China to a certain extent.
In particular, in recent years, Japan has become increasingly rampant with the support of the United States, constantly provoking China on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands and Taiwan. Therefore, the PLA's military operation this time is also a warning to Japan, hoping that Japan can restrain it.
Secondly, for the United States, in recent times, especially after entering late October, the United States has continuously provoked China on the Taiwan issue in order to gain an advantage in the Sino-US talks. First, Biden threatened to "defend Taiwan by force," and then Blinken shouted "support for Taiwan's participation in the United Nations system." The United States has made a big fuss about the Taiwan issue because it wants to "use Taiwan to control China."
On this issue, China's attitude is very clear, that is, it firmly opposes the United States interfering in China's internal affairs under any pretext. Taiwan's affairs are China's own affairs, and it is not the turn of the United States to interfere. During the just-concluded Sino-US talks in Rome, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in his talks with Blinken, also put forward three demands on the United States on the Taiwan issue, asking the United States to follow the one-China principle, not to betray one's faith, and not to say that one set is set another.
The PLA's 15 consecutive days of military missions in the Bohai Strait is to tell the United States that China's determination to safeguard the sovereignty and integrity of the motherland is very firm and will never allow the United States to engage in sabotage.
At the same time, the PLA's military operation is also sending some important signals to the other side. Under the interference of the United States, the Taiwan authorities have become more and more bold, and have even begun to hype up "US troops in Taiwan." After the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council issued a relevant statement, the Taiwan authorities and the Taiwan media frequently hyped up and created tension, causing the People of Taiwan to panic. The plausibus action this time is to tell the Taiwan authorities and certain people on the island: Do not make small moves, and do not take chances, because the reunification of the motherland is inevitable.
Since late October, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become increasingly tense due to the erroneous remarks and behavior of the United States and the wrong behavior of some people on the island. This will not be of any benefit to Sino-US relations and cross-strait relations, so I hope that the United States can follow its commitment to the Chinese side and follow the one-China principle, and not superficially set a set behind the scenes. I also hope that the Taiwan authorities will see the situation clearly and not go astray.
