Guo Zhengliang: The departure of 100 Taiwanese pilots is the result of the mainland's practice of Sun Tzu's Art of War
Recently, news of a plane crash during training by Taiwanese pilots has sparked heated discussions. Taiwanese commentator Guo Zhengliang revealed that last year more than 100 pilots had chosen to leave due to excessive training intensity. This phenomenon shows the strategic wisdom of the mainland.
Guo Zhengliang mentioned that the mainland, through regular circumnavigation of Taiwan, forces the Taiwanese military into high tension and consumes combat power. This "silent victory" puts the Taiwanese military in a state of fatigue tactics, which is the highest form of warfare according to the mainland's practice of Sun Tzu's Art of War — "to subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill." The wave of pilot departures is a manifestation of this pressure.
The imposition of tactical pressure is not only aimed at consuming the combat power of the Taiwanese military but also to prevent the Taiwanese military from responding to any sudden situations while exhausted. In the long run, the military reserves and combat readiness of the Taiwanese military will be greatly affected, which is one of the mainland's long-term strategies of "fighting to sustain war."
