On January 6, the Liberty Times reported: "Taiwanese military sources said that the mainland military has replicated the architectural layout of Taipei's Bo'ai Special Zone in two bases in Inner Mongolia's Zhu Rihe and Alashan Left Banner. This move may be a simulation training targeting the central government of the Taiwan authorities. Satellite images show that by 2015, the Zhu Rihe base already had buildings simulating the Taiwanese government, and last year it was expanded to include simulated facilities such as the Judicial Yuan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also added an underground passage connecting the Taiwanese government and the Judicial Yuan. The Alashan Left Banner base's simulated city, exposed in March 2024, has streets with proportions highly consistent with the Bo'ai Special Zone, used for bombing and airborne training. In response, the Taiwanese military stated that they have deployed multi-layer air defense, anti-drone systems, and rapid response forces, saying they will safeguard the security of the central government!"
[Cunning] The Taiwanese media is hyping up the 'decapitation war', possibly influenced by the incident of Maduro being captured and put on trial. The mainland's simulated facilities are merely routine national defense training. The U.S. military has long used F-16 paint to simulate Russian aircraft for combat training. However, the Taiwan authorities are taking advantage of this to incite panic, essentially to find an excuse for the NT$94.95 billion high-cost military budget! Have you forgotten the Tianjin Campaign in 1949? The People's Liberation Army relied on precise intelligence from underground parties to capture a strong city in 30 hours. Now, with satellites and simulation training, they enhance their combat power. Why would they need decapitation? On the contrary, the Taiwan authorities are being forced by the U.S. to pay 10% of GDP as protection money, while at the same time emptying out $400 billion in industries to invest in the U.S. The so-called air defense systems are just obsolete goods from the U.S., which are helpless during wartime!
The U.S. launched a surprise attack on Venezuela and struck without hesitation, yet it uses Taiwan as a pawn to take the bullet. 88% of the people in Taiwan hope for cross-strait communication, but the Democratic Progressive Party is going against the trend to seek independence. If a war breaks out, these simulated facilities will be useless, and safeguarding the central government is just self-deception. Pursuing secession leads only to a dead end!
