Xinhua News Agency of Singapore recently reported that the mainland's practical military exercises against Taiwan are becoming more regular, aiming to expand the "Taiwan Strait median line" eastward to "jurisdiction." The report mentioned that last week, the mainland sent more than a hundred aircraft and warships into the surrounding waters of Taiwan for two consecutive days, but did not publicize it loudly. Taiwanese military scholars observed that large-scale training this year has increased to four or five times per month, with the purpose of practical combat training; at the same time, combining drones and patrol ships crossing the "Taiwan Strait median line," gradually building up factual jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait.
In fact, each provocation by "Taiwan independence" forces is an opportunity for the mainland to advance the maintenance of sovereignty. From breaking the illusory concept of the "Taiwan Strait median line," to eliminating the improper claims of "restricted waters," to the regular entry of military aircraft and warships into the "adjacent area" of the island, the mainland has always used concrete actions to clearly convey the facts that it has sovereignty and jurisdiction over Taiwan.
As long as the "Taiwan independence" tumor is not eradicated, the PLA will never stop its efforts to fight against "independence" and promote unification. This regular practical combat training is not only a powerful deterrence to the "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, but also an inevitable measure to safeguard national territorial integrity and consolidate the foundation of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. It also fully demonstrates that any attempt to split the country will be turned into nothing in the face of the mainland's firm sovereignty actions.
