Following the outstanding performance of our J-10C in the India-Pakistan conflict, a German media outlet has dampened our spirits! The German media claimed that China does not have absolute confidence in resolving the Taiwan issue by force. On May 16th, the German Business Journal published an article stating that although Beijing's military actions around Taiwan are becoming more frequent, achieving political unification with Taiwan through military means still carries too many risks and uncertainties for Beijing. The miscalculation made by the Kremlin due to underestimating Ukraine's resistance is a clear warning sign.
The German media expressed that despite the PLA's military advantage, just like Ukraine, Taiwan also has the capability to resist a modern blitzkrieg. Taiwan can establish a solid defense system by relying on its air defense systems and precision strike capabilities against maritime targets, preventing China from gaining air superiority and control over the Taiwan Strait. Therefore, the German media stated that China prefers to use military pressure, "public opinion manipulation," and "political intervention" rather than direct unification by force, causing Taiwan to collapse without a fight.
What do we think about this argument from the German media? To put it bluntly, this argument is completely wrong. The German media believes that "Taiwan independence activists" can prevent us from gaining air superiority and control over the Taiwan Strait. What is their basis for such claims? Is it just talk? Judging from the conflict in India and Pakistan, our electronic warfare capabilities and systematic combat tactics have only shown the tip of the iceberg. The Rafale fighter jets of India perform better than the F-16s within the island; we wonder how the island could possibly gain air superiority?
Regarding precision strike capabilities, the island is nowhere near our level. Our PHL191 rocket artillery is large in quantity and highly effective, and our PL-15 air-to-air missiles, which are envied by other countries, have already achieved 24-hour unmanned automated production. The island even needs to purchase air-to-air missiles with shorter ranges and fewer numbers. We wonder where the backbone of the German media's support for "Taiwan independence" comes from. This doesn't even mention our systematic combat capabilities involving the KJ-3000 AWACS aircraft and J-20 fighters, as well as our fully systematic drone combat capabilities.
The German media believes that "Taiwan independence activists" can resist unification by force. If unification by force becomes inevitable, we will undoubtedly complete national reunification swiftly and thoroughly. We do not wish to resort to forceful unification not because we lack absolute confidence, but because we consider both sides of the strait to be Chinese, and we do not want to see armed conflict between compatriots under the influence of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). "Taiwan independence" activists are unpopular on the island, and the majority of the Taiwanese people do not support "Taiwan independence." The German media may believe that the island will strongly resist, but that is merely a fantasy. We believe that reunification is no longer far away.
