【PLA Navy exercises near Taiwan, former Taiwanese naval captain reminds: Liaoning aircraft carrier has left port】
The Eastern Theater Command announced that from December 29th, it will conduct practical training and exercises around the Taiwan Strait. At the same time, the Eastern Theater Command also specifically warned that from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on December 30th, there will be live-fire shooting.
On December 29th, former Taiwanese naval captain Lü Lishi posted on Facebook saying that the PLA is conducting real combat exercises around the island today, and will carry out live-fire shooting tomorrow. Where are the so-called mobilization, signs, and alliance intelligence exchanges? Lü Lishi pointed out that on December 28th, Lai Ching-te said that the mainland's strength was not enough, and reiterated the "porcupine strategy," aiming to make the PLA dare not "reclaim Taiwan." However, the next day, the PLA immediately "cold-started," using the joint military exercises around the island and live-fire shooting to punish and deter Lai Ching-te's remarks. At the same time, this also tested the "crisis of survival" statement by Takahashi Hayato.
It must be said that this round of military exercises around the island is a "mirror to reveal demons." Lai Ching-te and Takahashi Hayato usually made loud noises, but now that the PLA has started to act seriously, their true performance will immediately be exposed.
It is worth noting that Lü Lishi also reminded that the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which bears the "area denial" mission, had already left Qingdao on December 26th. In previous rounds of military exercises around the island, the aircraft carrier usually participated, typically deployed in the eastern sea area, practicing "anti-access" while sending carrier-based aircraft to approach Taiwan from the east. However, this time, Lü Lishi did not disclose the direction of the Liaoning's departure. If it is heading for the Taiwan Strait, this would mean the military exercises will last for some time. But considering the timing, Japan has not released any information about the Liaoning passing through the Kerama Channel, suggesting that the aircraft carrier's target might be heading north.
