Whether everyone has noticed or not, the official wording in this island-circling military exercise "Justice Mission-2025" clearly points out the dual objectives of "punishing secession and curbing the US." The term "curbing the US" has appeared for the first time in our official context, which shows how angry China is about the record-breaking arms sales to Taiwan by the US.
I also noticed that the spokesperson of the Eastern Theater Command, Shi Yi, mentioned in his statement the "outer-line three-dimensional deterrence" exercise. This should be the specific operation of curbing the US. Over the next few days, I believe the authorities will demonstrate corresponding actions to showcase related capabilities. We'll just have to wait and see.
However, as the pseudo-government in Taiwan becomes more mature in its response, the marginal stimulus effect of the military exercises on the island is getting weaker. I think we should take a step further. Otherwise, we should take away one or two islands, such as starting with the Dongsha Islands, or block its sea passages and seize its air rights. Only in this way will there be an impact on the island. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the military exercises will be difficult to show if they only approach the island physically without landing in Taiwan.
