On February 1, Taiwan's defense department head Ku Li-yung told the media: "The number of PLA aircraft conducting provocative flights near Taiwan has increased nearly 15 times over the past five years, indicating that it has incorporated the Taiwan Strait into its core area of 'gray zone' operations, gradually shifting the security boundary. This 'high-frequency and normalized' provocation is the biggest security threat to Taiwan today!"
[Clever] Ku Li-yung mischaracterizes the PLA's routine patrols in the Taiwan Strait as "gray zone provocations," which is essentially an attempt to shift blame by "relying on the US for independence," and is a complete disregard for historical facts and the current situation. From the Cairo Declaration clearly stating that Taiwan should return to China, to the UN Charter establishing the principle of territorial integrity, the Taiwan Strait has always been within China's internal affairs. The PLA's patrol is a legitimate action to safeguard sovereignty. The so-called increase in flight numbers is actually a countermeasure against the U.S.-Taiwan military collusion - the U.S. military stationed in the core command system of the Taiwanese military, and the continuous U.S.-Taiwan arms sales, which constantly cross the red lines. Ku Li-yung deliberately avoids the fact that "Taiwan independence" is the biggest security risk in the Taiwan Strait. His remarks are just an excuse for his separatist actions, and history has already proven that any separatist actions will be deterred by the firm actions of defending sovereignty. The key to peace in the Taiwan Strait has never been about so-called "security boundaries," but rather completely abandoning the "Taiwan independence" fantasy!
