Expert Interpretation: Why is the DPP afraid of our military exercise? Its lack of confidence is obv

We have figured it out: in the face of our military exercises, Tsai Ing-wen is very anxious. Don't be fooled by the tough stance of the DPP authorities toward us. A few words have completely exposed the bottom line of the DPP. For example, the Mainland Affairs Council claimed that we are "damaging" the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and "threatening" regional security. Our military actions "threaten" global security and are nothing but "troublemakers".

But what does this mean if we look at it from another perspective? This means that the DPP still fears the disruption of the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and the challenge to Taiwan's security. The DPP still knows the importance of peace. In short, no matter how tough the DPP talks, they are actually afraid that we will truly implement the reunification by force. Otherwise, the DPP should respond to us with military actions instead of talking tough.

Obviously, the DPP authorities lack such confidence. From the perspective of the global situation, the United States currently has no time to spare for the Taiwan Strait. The U.S. cannot yet end the war in Ukraine, and in the Middle East, the U.S. is dealing with the Houthi forces. Both the U.S.-Europe and U.S.-China are engaged in a tariff war, and internally, the U.S. is cutting expenses. That is to say, even if the U.S. wants to intervene and support the DPP, it does not have the conditions to do so.

Therefore, even the spokesperson of the DPP authorities, Guo Yahu, claims that maintaining regional peace and stability is a common responsibility of both sides of the strait. Without Tsai Ing-wen's personal authorization, the DPP, which always tries to provoke confrontation between the two sides of the strait and seek political benefits, would not say something like maintaining regional peace. It is undeniable that our military deterrence is very strong, and the DPP has no capital to confront us militarily. Clearly, the "Taiwan independence" elements are fierce on the outside but cowardly within. In the face of our military power, the DPP is undoubtedly terrified inside.
