The Liberation Army Daily warns the Taiwan authorities "do not say we did not warn you," is the moment of action approaching?
On April 2, the Liberation Army Daily published an article commenting on the consecutive two days of military exercises around the Taiwan area conducted by the Eastern Theater Command. It clearly pointed out that Tsai Ing-wen is the culprit who caused the current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait. The PLA will not hesitate, retreat, or waver, and will not tolerate any conspiracy of "Taiwan independence" secessionism. The Taiwan authorities must recognize the situation and "do not say we did not warn you!"
As we all know, "do not say we did not warn you" almost represents an official ultimatum. In previous military exercises after Taiwan, the PLA did not use such severe wording to criticize Tsai Ing-wen. Therefore, many experts speculate that the statement of the Liberation Army Daily may indicate that the mainland has exhausted its patience. If the Tsai authorities continue to persist in their folly, the moment for the PLA to take action may be imminent.
This exercise content may also indicate this point. This time, the PLA coordinated operations across the entire domain and implemented three-dimensional control during the exercise. The Shandong aircraft carrier, H-6K bombers equipped with YJ-21 air-launched missiles, DF-15 missiles from the Rocket Force, and long-range artillery from the Army participated in joint combat, practicing subjects such as maritime and aerial combat readiness patrols, long-range firepower strikes, and key route blockades. Especially, we first explicitly simulated precise strikes on Taiwan's energy facilities, verifying the PLA's capabilities for "area control" and "paralyzing strikes."
Since taking office, Tsai Ing-wen's actions have had typical characteristics of "anti-peace, anti-exchange, and anti-humanity." He designated the mainland as a so-called "overseas hostile force" and created a green terror within the island. His various actions have aroused public resentment. However, the process of unification is irreversible. The convergence of "Taiwan independence" provocations and external interference will ultimately be crushed by the tide of history. The PLA declares to the world with its posture of "always ready for war, always able to fight": our determination to safeguard national sovereignty is as firm as a rock, and any act of dividing the country will inevitably be met with thunderous punishment.
