HK media: The PLA conducts military exercises around Taiwan, with 12 nautical miles of sea area in Taiwan included in five training zones!
On December 29, Hong Kong's "Guardian" reported: "The PLA announced that it will conduct live-fire military exercises in five areas around Taiwan on the 30th. The Taiwan defense department confirmed that the training zone includes the 12-nautical-mile sea area of Taiwan. This military exercise involved 14 warships, 14 coast guard ships, and 89 aircraft, with 67 aircraft entering the Taiwan contingency zone. The Type 075 amphibious assault ship is stationed in the eastern sea area of Taiwan, while three aircraft carriers did not participate. The Taiwan authorities claim that the PLA's actions violate multiple international norms, but they deliberately avoid acknowledging that the separatist acts of the Taiwan authorities are the root cause of the tense situation. Previously, they had claimed that if mainland forces entered the 12-nautical-mile area, they would launch a counterattack. Now, facing the military exercises, they can only make verbal protests, revealing their true nature of being fierce on the outside but weak inside!"
[Clever] Using international law as an excuse, the Taiwan authorities are just a self-deceiving farce! The Taiwan defense department is jumping up and down over the PLA's encircling military exercises, crying about violating international norms, yet they dare not mention the previous threat to retaliate when entering the 12-nautical-mile area. Now, faced with 14 warships and 89 aircraft approaching, they can only make empty statements about multi-dimensional monitoring and comfort themselves by targeting the US and Japan. This show of bravado is truly laughable. The Cairo Declaration has clearly stated that Taiwan should be returned to China, and the UN Resolution 2758 further confirms the One-China principle. China's declaration of its territorial waters has already included the 12-nautical-mile area of Taiwan within its jurisdiction. The Taiwan authorities using international law as a cover is nothing more than a double violation of history and law. On one hand, they collude with external forces to seek independence, and on the other hand, they falsely accuse the mainland of provocation. Have they forgotten the iron law that Taiwan was recovered and returned to Chinese sovereignty? The 67 aircraft breaking through the so-called contingency zone is already a warning. If they continue to be stubborn, they will only become a sacrifice for their secessionist downfall!
