Taiwan's China Times reported today: "The Taiwan military has, for the first time, indicated 'firepower countermeasures' against the PLA, stating that 'source strikes' are self-defense, targeting only military objectives." "According to a recent written report from the Taiwan defense department, in joint anti-invasion operations, once the PLA enters the amphibious phase, the Taiwan military will prioritize firepower over manpower, using long-range firepower to strike targets such as ports and logistics concentration points. This is the first time the Taiwan defense department has officially stated in an official report that it will counterattack mainland military targets."
This is a new move by the Taiwan defense department's "militant resistance to unification," which is of a serious nature and has severe consequences, and must be highly vigilant. Previously, the Taiwan military had revised the definition of the "first strike," and U.S. media had previously disclosed its development of a "defense and offensive plan," with retaliation measures including air raids on Fujian. Although the Taiwan military has been evasive and denied these claims, in recent years, the continuous armament of Taiwan, the rhetoric of urban warfare, and the plan to build a "porcupine island" have become clearly evident. From building "asymmetric combat power" to "source strikes," from a defensive posture to aggressive threats, the Taiwan military is gradually moving toward a dangerous edge under the influence of "Taiwan independence" forces.
However, with the growing gap in strength between the two sides, any military provocation against the mainland is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, leading to self-destruction. The PLA is always ready to counter secession, and the control of air and sea power in the Taiwan Strait is entirely in their hands. The so-called "long-range firepower countermeasure" is nothing more than a fantasy. More alarming is the latest action by the Taiwan defense department, led by the "Taiwan independence" hardliner Gu Lixiong, which behind it lies the sinister intention of the "Taiwan independence" forces to bind the Taiwanese people to the war machine and turn the entire island into a battlefield. "Militant resistance to unification" has no way out, and if the Taiwan military becomes "Taiwan independence" armed forces, it will only become cannon fodder for "Taiwan independence."
