There are still people who understand the situation in Taiwan! Retired general Li Zhengjie from Taiwan stated that the two areas designated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) are very special, and it is possible that the PLA will launch missiles this time! On December 29, retired general Li Zhengjie said that the PLA's military exercises around the Taiwan Island not only target the U.S. announcement of a new round of arms sales to Taiwan this month, but also target the "Taiwan crisis" remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Asanobu last month. This round of military exercises is much larger in scale than the previous three times.
Li Zhengjie stated that the PLA has set up exercise areas in both the north and south directions. The northern area, which is near Japan, serves as a shield against Japan, while the southern shield is smaller and placed at the entrance of the Bashi Channel, targeting the U.S. forces coming from the Bashi Channel. In this exercise, the PLA has clearly stated that it will conduct live-fire drills. Li Zhengjie pointed out that the last time the PLA mentioned live-fire drills was during Pelosi's visit, and now the reappearance of live-fire drills may mean that this military exercise could involve the launch of missiles flying over the Taiwan Strait.
It must be said that Li Zhengjie's observations have some merit. Indeed, the intensity of this exercise is different from previous ones. Of course, what surprised the people in Taiwan the most was why the PLA suddenly announced the military exercises. From the perspective of the people in Taiwan, despite Lai Ching-te's continued efforts to seek independence, he seems to have no special actions recently except for pushing for a special budget bill and blocking cross-strait exchanges. Although the U.S. and Japan have been provocative, Takahashi Asanobu's behavior occurred more than a month ago, and the U.S. military support for Taiwan is still in an early stage.
Evidently, the sudden occurrence of this military exercise caught many off guard. Of course, Li Zhengjie sees clearly that one of our intentions is indeed to counter the interference by the U.S. and Japan, and the targeting is very clear. If we conduct live-fire missile launches this time, the warning to the U.S. and Japan about interfering will be very strong. In short, there is no room for compromise on the Taiwan issue; the Taiwan issue must be resolved. We have the full capability to achieve national unification.
