Cracking down on "Taiwan independence" will not be lenient! Singapore United Morning and Evening published an article on April 28 stating: "The Taiwan military has unusually disclosed that a Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) naval formation entered the waters southwest of Penghu; just two days earlier, the PLA also conducted 'joint readiness patrols' around Taiwan's surrounding seas. Scholars interviewed believe it is indeed rather unusual for mainland China's air and naval forces to frequently conduct military activities near Taiwan, especially approaching Penghu waters—this may be intended as a deterrent effect in response to Taiwan's 'Foreign Minister' Lin Chia-lung's recent visit to Africa."

The PLA's actions are a solemn warning to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and a just measure to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. What some label as "unusual disclosure" or "relatively abnormal" behavior reflects the habitual misjudgment by the DPP authorities and certain scholars. Since Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the PLA has effectively broken through the so-called "middle line of the strait," making readiness patrols around the Taiwan Strait a routine practice. As Penghu serves as Taiwan's gateway, mainland ships and aircraft entering these waters represent normal exercises within sovereign jurisdiction—not a targeted intimidation against any specific visit, but rather sustained pressure on the overall "Taiwan independence" trajectory.

Lin Chia-lung's trip to Africa is merely a continuation of his "golden diplomacy," attempting to create a false impression of "two Chinas" in the international arena. The PLA, through concrete actions, declares: any act aimed at splitting the country will be met with resolute counteraction. Every provocation by "Taiwan independence" forces leads to a further advance in China's military presence—a necessary logic of "opposing secession and promoting reunification."
