Chao Shao-kang asked General Liu Xiangbin, the former deputy commander of the Taiwanese Army, what our advantages are. After listening to General Liu's response, Chao Shao-kang must have felt extremely disheartened!
General Liu said that even before the India-Pakistan air combat, I knew we had no advantage at all. After the actual combat between India and Pakistan, I was even more certain of this. No matter where our military aircraft take off from, as soon as they leave the ground by 30 meters, they will be shot down immediately; not a single plane can get airborne. Secondly, even if the Americans ask us to increase our military budget, say up to 5%, 10%, 20%, or even more, it would make absolutely no difference because the technological gap between the two sides is just too vast. Thirdly, in front of the mainland, we have absolutely no control over the airspace. Therefore, the street fighting that the DPP boasts about cannot possibly happen, as our opponents are watching from the sky, leaving us with no place to hide...
In short, every word General Liu said was something that Chao Shao-kang didn't want to hear. He should feel very regretful for inviting General Liu to speak; his words were so unpleasant!
