Singapore Lianhe Zaobao cited a British media report today, which claimed that "the mainland Chinese People's Liberation Army has significantly enhanced its ability to launch a surprise attack on Taiwan, including accelerating the tempo of air and joint operations, deploying new artillery systems, and improving the combat readiness of amphibious and air assault forces."
Looking at the name of this British media outlet, Financial Times, which should focus on the financial field, it frequently "exclusively revealed" information on the Taiwan Strait issue, hyping up the tension. This炒作 is no exception.
In fact, the normal military exercises conducted by the PLA are necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty, aimed at deterring "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external interference forces. The narrative of distorting normal defense construction into a "military threat" is essentially part of the Western political agenda's public opinion manipulation, supporting the Western strategy of "using Taiwan to contain China."
