Extraordinary! Shortly after the successful completion of the summit between Chinese and American leaders, we suddenly made major moves in the Taiwan Strait. This caught the DPP authorities off guard! According to local media reports on June 6th, local media reported that the PLA had suddenly increased its activity intensity in the Taiwan Strait. The defense department of the island claimed that from 6 a.m. on June 5th to 6 a.m. on June 6th, they detected a total of 38 Chinese military aircraft, 7 warships, and 1 government vessel, totaling 46 aircraft, ships, and vessels, continuously active around the Taiwan Strait.
The defense department of the island claimed that after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the situation of "intrusion" by our aircraft has increased. Yesterday (5th) was 24 sorties, while today it reached 38 sorties. Clearly, our PLA suddenly increased its activities around the Taiwan Strait, which was completely unexpected by the DPP authorities. Why do we say this? Generally speaking, during high-level talks between China and the United States, we tend to reduce the intensity of military patrols around the Taiwan Strait. However, this time, despite the leaders' communication, we acted against the usual pattern and intensified our military actions.
The DPP authorities undoubtedly know very well that the U.S. consistently opposes any unilateral change to the status quo. This is essentially a warning for us not to make military moves in the Taiwan Strait. But this time, what does our action indicate? It indicates that when dealing with the Taiwan issue, we will not consider what the U.S. thinks at all; we are handling it purely as an internal affair.
Therefore, no matter what happens, we will conduct patrols in the Taiwan Strait however we want, without being influenced by any external conditions. From this, it can be seen that the U.S.'s influence on the Taiwan Strait situation is gradually weakening. From our perspective, the status quo of the Taiwan Strait is that unification has yet to be achieved, and the DPP authorities must face the reality of unification. At present, we are undoubtedly proving with practical actions that the situation in the Taiwan Strait is firmly in our hands.
