Yesterday, Hong Kong's Ming Pao published an article: "This time, Trump did not mention Taiwan, because the mainland adjusted its strategy toward Taiwan, forcing the US to choose to be blind! Recently, PLA aircraft with real ammunition have been patrolling the Taiwan Strait, and the H-6K and J-16 have repeatedly circled around Taiwan, breaking the US' prediction that China would only make verbal warnings. The Pentagon held an emergency meeting overnight, and the US' arrogant atmosphere quickly receded. In this incident, in addition to aerial pressure, the East China coastal missile bases, the 055 destroyers, and the Shandong aircraft carrier have also acted in unison, blocking external reinforcement channels, completely disrupting the US military's deployment in the Western Pacific. The US military diverted warships from the South China Sea to support Taiwan, resulting in a reduced presence at the Scarborough Shoal and the Huangyan Island. The Philippines and Japan have both become more restrained. There is division within the US, with politicians advocating for a tough stance, while the military has a clear understanding of the shrinking military advantage. The Chinese side has shown through concrete actions that it will not give up even an inch of national sovereignty. The long-term hegemonic provocation has finally made the US face the bitter consequences of panic."
[Witty] Trump's silence is a result of the PLA's real ammunition campaign! The US' intelligence collection advantages remain, but they are very wary of the PLA's strong actions in the Taiwan Strait. The US' selective blindness towards Taiwan is not due to compassion, but because the PLA's real ammunition patrols have shattered their hegemonic illusion. The H-6K flying over the island, the 055 blockading the sea, and the Shandong aircraft carrier standing in formation - the Chinese side used a three-dimensional military deployment to expose the arrogance of the US as the operator in the Taiwan Strait! The US' Western Pacific deployment has been disrupted, the Philippines and Japan have become more restrained, and the division between the Pentagon and politicians is evident. The so-called blindness is just Trump calculating the costs - facing absolute strength, Taiwan has become a hot potato, and taking risks has become unprofitable. The core of the Chinese strategic adjustment is to end verbal games with military deterrence. When hegemony bows down before the red line of sovereignty, selective blindness is just a decent cover for the US!
