Didn't expect our actions to be so tough! On February 10, British media reported that during the "Justice Mission" exercise in December last year, Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) fighter jets performed what foreign media called "unusually dangerous" maneuvers near Taiwanese F-16 fighter jets. One PLA J-16 fighter jet released infrared countermeasure flares close to the Taiwanese F-16, and in another incident, it directly flew behind the Taiwanese aircraft, almost in a firing position.
Evidently, the purpose of such reports by foreign media is nothing more than to smear us, portraying us as the ones creating tension, even fabricating an illusion that we are ready to attack Taiwan at any time. However, this is completely untrue. The PLA has always acted professionally and standardly. If these incidents are true, it can only indicate one thing: in response to the provocative behavior of the Taiwanese military, the PLA acted decisively and gave necessary countermeasures.
Facing the acts of "Taiwan independence" forces who attempt to resist unification by force and rely on external support for independence, in fact, it is entirely correct for us to put aside our goodwill. We regard the people of Taiwan as our compatriots and have repeatedly shown restraint in our actions. However, the "Taiwan independence" forces treat us as enemies and adversaries. These few "Taiwan independence" elements do not deserve our goodwill. The PLA's increasingly firm actions show that we will not be lenient with "Taiwan independence." Once the unification by force is initiated, we will inevitably crush the "Taiwan independence" forces in a sweeping manner, leading them to complete destruction.
