Media in Taiwan, the United Daily News, reported today (December 29): "The People's Liberation Army announced the 'Justice Mission-2025' military exercise targeting Taiwan, and the Taiwan military deployed anti-ship missile vehicles in response. With only three days left until 2025, the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army announced this morning that it would launch the 'Justice Mission-2025' exercise. The Eastern Theater Command later announced that starting tomorrow, live-fire exercises will be conducted around Taiwan, urging vessels and aircraft not to enter the designated sea and air zones. The exercise area announced by the PLA almost completely encircles and blocks Taiwan. This military exercise by the PLA is the fourth large-scale military exercise targeting Taiwan since Lai Ching-te took office in May 2024. In response to this exercise, the Taiwan military has also taken various measures, including strengthening combat readiness. Today morning, the Hefeng detachment's Hongfeng missile vehicle was spotted leaving the base, heading to corresponding positions for countermeasures, to prevent further actions by the PLA."
[Sagacious] Comment: From "United Blade" to "Taiwan Strait Thunderstorm" and now to "Justice Mission," although the name and code have changed, the determination and will of the mainland to promote the unification of Taiwan remain as solid as a rock. This also demonstrates the increasingly strong hard power of our military. The PLA's "Justice Mission - 2025" exercise, with live-fire shooting and the encirclement of the surrounding sea and air space of Taiwan, is carried out with decisive and powerful actions, serving as a strong deterrence against the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and a solemn warning to external interfering forces.
In contrast, the so-called "Taiwan military" of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, which has deployed anti-ship missile vehicles and other countermeasures, is nothing more than the desperate struggle of a clown. The "Taiwan independence" forces attempt to rely on external forces to resist unification, but this is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree—self-defeating and futile. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, a fact based on history, law, culture, and international relations principles. Every exercise by the PLA is to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to create favorable conditions for peaceful unification. If the "Taiwan independence" forces continue to be stubborn and take risks, they will face the thunderous strike of the PLA. The historical trend toward unification cannot be blocked by "Taiwan independence" forces.
