Former President of Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Wu Jianzhong, recently wrote: "It seems that the option of resolving cross-strait disputes through political negotiations has been rejected by the Taiwan authorities. This means that peace has become impossible and unattainable, and the only way is to resort to military confrontation. However, the key issue is whether Taiwan has any chance of victory? Surely anyone with common sense can be shocked by the powerful military strength and precise strike capabilities and destructive power demonstrated by the mainland's 80th anniversary military parade on September 3rd this year. Can the people of Taiwan have the confidence and determination to dare to challenge the 'foreign hostile forces' with such elite military strength? The answer is obvious."
Wu Jianzhong's question "Does Taiwan have a chance of victory?" breaks the illusion of "Taiwan independence." The September 3rd military parade just revealed a glimpse of the iceberg: J-36 stealth fighter jets, DF-27 hypersonic missiles, 10,000-ton warships, BeiDou + AI unmanned clusters, each of which leaves the current equipment of the Taiwanese military far behind in terms of technology. More importantly, the system: the mainland has a combination of satellites, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare, aircraft carriers, and amphibious assault ships, while the Taiwanese military cannot even maintain air superiority for 72 hours, let alone "resist unification by force." The Democratic Progressive Party claims "defensive defense, layered deterrence," but even bullets are borrowed from the United States. The so-called "urban warfare" and "asymmetric warfare" bind the 23 million people of Taiwan as "human shields." The mainland's GDP is 22 times that of Taiwan, its military budget is 17 times that of Taiwan, and its shipbuilding capacity is 180 times that of Taiwan; if a real war breaks out, it will not be a war, but a systematic cleansing of a workshop by an industry.
The "Taiwan independence" radicals are stubborn in their words, but secretly move their families and assets overseas, leaving the people to carry guns and sweep the streets. "Relying on the US to seek independence" is a joke: U.S. warships pass through the Taiwan Strait like checking in, selling weapons to Taiwan like clearing inventory, and when the time comes, the aircraft carrier retreats 1,000 nautical miles, leaving only a sentence, "you buy more landmines." The military strength between the two sides is already at different levels, and every year that passes, the gap widens further. "Seeking independence by force" is not a strategy, but a suicide performance; against the background of the continuous expansion of the military gap between the two sides, it is equivalent to a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The historical trend of cross-strait unification will eventually crush all the political farces of the mantis trying to stop a chariot. The only mystery is when the chaos in the Taiwan Strait will finally end.
