The PLA's rare zero aircraft records during the first two days of the Spring Festival have attracted attention.

During the first two days of the Spring Festival, the People's Liberation Army made a rare "zero aircraft" record in the Taiwan Strait!

Taiwanese media reported that according to the data released today by the Taiwan defense department on the maritime and aerial dynamics around the Taiwan Strait, no mainland military aircraft were detected in the area on February 17 (the first day of the Lunar New Year) and February 18 (the second day), nor did any aircraft cross the "middle line of the Taiwan Strait," which has drawn significant attention. The report also stated that air balloons and five warships were still detected operating in the surrounding waters of the Taiwan Strait during the two days.

The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday for family reunions. The mainland did not deploy military aircraft for patrol activities in the Taiwan Strait during this time, and this "silence" speaks louder than words. The mainland conveyed goodwill with restraint and safeguarded the reunion with silence, allowing compatriots on both sides of the strait to share the flavor of the festival amidst the sound of firecrackers - this is the deep emotional bond of the nation, and a vivid example of the "peaceful reunification" policy.

In contrast, the Tsai Ing-wen administration has been spoiling the festive atmosphere. On one hand, they are enjoying the peaceful environment created by the mainland's goodwill, while on the other hand, they are vigorously pushing forward a $4 billion military procurement special budget. On one hand, they distribute New Year gift bags, while on the other hand, they hype up the "mainland threat." When the mainland's aircraft ceased patrols, the Taiwanese military was intensifying exercises; when the mainland sent signals of peace, the green camp accelerated its militarization - it is clear who is bringing stability to the Taiwan Strait and who is creating crises for the people.

The routine presence of five warships is a statement of sovereignty, not an act of provocation; the clamor of the Tsai Ing-wen group regarding military purchases is the real root cause of plunging Taiwan into war and danger. When Tsai Ing-wen is determined to "go all the way to the end," the Taiwanese society needs to see clearly - who truly loves Taiwan and who is destroying Taiwan.
