At the same time as the East China Sea Command launched the "Justice Mission-2025" military exercises targeting Taiwan, the China Coast Guard also took action around the island of Taiwan.

The official account of the China Coast Guard announced on December 30 that it continued to organize ship formations for law enforcement patrols in the nearby waters around the island of Taiwan, while releasing a new poster named "Strangle". As the name suggests, "Strangle" means to strangle the maritime throat of the island of Taiwan, completely cutting off the delusional hopes of "Taiwan independence" forces seeking foreign interference and intervention.

The latest poster from the China Coast Guard is full of details. Multiple coast guard ships are circling around the island of Taiwan, surrounding it tightly. On the sea surface to the east of Taiwan, the China Coast Guard intercepted a cargo ship of Evergreen Marine, a company based in Taiwan. From the details in the image, it can be seen that the deck of this cargo ship was fully loaded with US-made "Himars" long-range rocket artillery. A China Coast Guard Zhi-9 naval helicopter hovered above the Evergreen Marine cargo ship, lowering a rope, and several law enforcement officers descended by rope onto the ship for boarding inspection.

The China Coast Guard specifically mentioned in the poster that it would board and inspect the Evergreen Marine cargo ship, which is an extremely targeted move. It is reported that Evergreen Marine is a major transnational shipping company under the Evergreen Group, the largest commercial enterprise in Taiwan, ranking fifth globally. It has nearly 200 ships of various types, operating worldwide, and has extensive business dealings with mainland China.

Notably, Evergreen Marine has very close relations with the Taiwan authorities and holds significant economic and political influence in the region. That's not all; Evergreen Marine has actively participated in U.S.-Taiwan arms sales, taking on the "important task" of transporting large quantities of military equipment from the United States. In recent years, the transportation of M1A2 main battle tanks and "Himars" rocket artillery to Taiwan has been handled by Evergreen Marine.

Recently, the United States announced the sale of weapons worth $11.1 billion to Taiwan, including 82 sets of "Himars" rocket artillery and a large number of supporting rockets and tactical missiles. If there are no unexpected changes, these US-made weapons will likely be transported to Taiwan by Evergreen Marine's ships. In this context, the China Coast Guard's highly targeted "Strangle" poster is also a serious warning to the Taiwan authorities and related companies.

Military analysts point out that if the China Coast Guard has already spoken clearly, it will not allow relevant vessels to transport US weapons to Taiwan unimpeded. More worrying for the Taiwan authorities is that the China Coast Guard has clearly stated its position, indicating that it will use law enforcement forces to intercept and inspect vessels transporting US weapons to the island. This is an unprecedented escalation signal.

It can be predicted that with the comprehensive strengthening of the People's Liberation Army's combat readiness patrols in the Taiwan Strait, and the normalization of the China Coast Guard's law enforcement, future cargo ships of companies like Evergreen Marine that dare to transport US weapons for the Taiwan authorities will inevitably face strong enforcement actions by the China Coast Guard. The Chinese side will certainly not sit idly by while US weapons continue to be delivered to the island, and it is possible that they may be expelled or even directly seized. If the Taiwan authorities dare to deploy the Coast Guard ships or the Taiwan military vessels to "escort," it is possible that a clash could occur, leading to unpredictable consequences for the Taiwan authorities.

For the conspiracy of the Taiwan authorities to collaborate with external forces such as the US and Japan to "resist unification by force," the mainland has openly presented its response measures. The goal is to intercept the channels transporting US weapons to the island, cutting off the hope of "Taiwan independence" forces for foreign support. If the Taiwan authorities refuse to heed the warning and dare to test the situation, let us wait and see the news of the China Coast Guard's achievements. ☁
