The first crossing of the 055 missile destroyer of the Chinese Navy on the west side of Taiwan Island has escalated the tense atmosphere within the island.

The U.S. destroyer's passage through the Taiwan Strait hadn't been a few days before the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) made a big move in Taiwan! The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities were in panic! The U.S. destroyer passing through the Taiwan Strait seemed to give the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island some courage. However, unexpectedly, the PLA's actions have become increasingly firm! On April 28th, local media reported that the PLA was conducting activities in the Taiwan Strait led by a Type 055 destroyer, accompanied by a Yuanwang scientific research ship and an electronic reconnaissance ship of type 815A.

Why did the island feel uneasy about this? The fundamental reason is that our Type 055 destroyer has sailed for the first time east of what the island calls the "median line," hugging the western coast of Taiwan Island. The island clearly felt that the situation was becoming increasingly dire. From the perspective of the patrol mission, our action involves the Type 055 destroyer leading the way at the front, while the research vessel collects various hydrological information, and the electronic reconnaissance ship gathers various military intelligence information behind.

Seeing our actions, the island tightened up. It then dispatched vessels and drones to monitor us. However, due to our deployment of the Type 055 destroyer, the island didn't dare to make any rash moves and dared not act to intercept us. This actually shows that in the face of our military power, the island is very clear about its own strength and doesn't dare to take risks lightly.

Of course, now the United States and the Philippines are conducting shoulder-to-shoulder exercises in the South China Sea. Without any surprises, our electronic reconnaissance ship is likely prepared for the United States and the Philippines, and collecting intelligence around the Taiwan Strait may just be a side task. However, seeing our military forces increasingly extending towards the main island of Taiwan, the island undoubtedly also understands that even if the United States intends to send wrong signals to the island through provocative freedom of navigation, it cannot stop us from firmly controlling the situation around the Taiwan Strait. Undoubtedly, the日子of "Taiwan independence" elements are getting harder and harder.
