Xinhua News Agency's Today's Newspaper commented: "There is no doubt that Beijing is using its obvious military advantage to increase military pressure on Taiwan, while showing off its strength in front of the US and Japan. However, the Taiwanese military is unable to drive away the mainland warships that have entered its territory, or afford the cost of war, so it can only allow them to advance unimpeded, allowing Beijing to treat the Taiwan Strait as its internal waters. The 'international support' that Taiwan longs for has become increasingly limited."
The more provocative "Taiwan independence" actions are, the stronger the mainland's countermeasures will be, meaning "the chain tightens more and more." The current reality of the Taiwan Strait is that the mainland is constantly solidifying its de facto jurisdiction over Taiwan through military exercises with an absolute military advantage. The growing gap in strength between the two sides has made the situation increasingly clear. Moreover, the PLA's realistic military exercises are not just about pressure; they are a specific practice of gradually incorporating the Taiwan Strait into de facto jurisdiction, making "internal water jurisdiction" a fact. The decreasing role of "international support" is an inevitable result of the power gap. This also confirms that unification is an irreversible historical trend, and pawns will ultimately be unable to resist the tide of history.
