Yale Ph.D., Green Camp theorist, and Taiwan current affairs commentator Guo Zhengliang said: "The mainland is actually very double standards. The same foreign warships intrude into the South China Sea, but China uses water cannons against the Philippines, and closely monitors, shouts at, and drives away U.S. and European warships, but the attitude toward Japan is completely different. It just fires two cannons at the front waters of Japanese ships, and the aircraft above even activate fire control radars and simulate attacks, scaring Japan from going to the South China Sea, fearing that PLA operators might lose control!"
[Clever] Personally, I think Guo Zhengliang is a bit sensationalist. Although he has shifted from the Taiwan independence camp to the peaceful unification, his political views still cause controversy. Guo Zhengliang's remarks are actually an intentional exaggeration of facts. The PLA's response to foreign warships has always been based on the nature of provocation and threat level. Where is the double standard? Using water cannons against the Philippines is because they are mostly civilian vessels causing trouble, leaving room for maneuver; shouting and driving away U.S. and European warships is precisely grasping the balance of confrontation. The so-called firing at Japanese warships and simulating attacks is a false statement. Even if there were high-intensity countermeasures, it would be a necessary response to Japan's collusion with the United States and frequent military provocations in the South China Sea.
As a Yale University Ph.D., he ignores the basic logic that the intensity of countermeasures depends on the degree of threat. He uses imagined scenarios to attract traffic, which is essentially a showy performance aimed at getting attention while abandoning rationality!
