Why does the People's Liberation Army continue to conduct large-scale exercises near Taiwan? Does the DPP authorities have no idea?

　　[Cross-Strait Quick Review No. 1181]

　　In the past two days, the Taiwan military and Taiwan media have been a bit busy.

Taiwan's military is busy to deal with the PLA's near-Taiwan exercises, while Taiwan's media is busy to exaggerate the PLA's actions. The frequent use of words such as "record" and "largest scale" for two consecutive days deliberately implies that the PLA may take extraordinary measures.

　　But what is the actual situation?

On the 23rd, the Taiwan military announced that on the same day, the PLA had 1 sortie of Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, 8 sorties of H-6K and 4 sorties of F-16 "invaded" the Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone of Taiwan, and stated that this was "the biggest battle this year."

But the so-called "biggest battle" the next day was surpassed.

　　On the 24th, Taiwan’s defense department stated that a total of 15 PLA military aircraft entered Taiwan’s southwestern airspace on that day, including 2 Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, 2 Su-30 fighters, 4 J-16 fighters, 6 J-10 fighters, and Yun -8 technical reconnaissance aircraft sorties.

This time, the Taiwan military has obviously been "rigorous" in its wording. The defense department stated that this is the largest "disturbance" "so far" this year.

　　However, compared with the "rigorous" of the Taiwan army, the green media and so-called experts on the island still use the "extremely imprecise" attitude and viewpoint to interpret the PLA's actions.

Many green media have compared the PLA's actions with the US aircraft carrier's entry into the South China Sea in reports and comments, believing that this is a response from the Chinese mainland to the US actions.

　　However, even some sober media on the island can't stand this statement. Taiwan's "United Daily News" pointed out in an editorial that "a dream of fighting China in four years", did the DPP authorities wake up?

　　Some netizens may ask, the US Biden administration has just taken office and its Taiwan policy is still unclear. In such a "sensitive period", what is the purpose of the PLA's large-scale exercises close to Taiwan?

Is it to beat the new US government?

Or do you want to take the opportunity to completely solve the Taiwan issue?

　　In fact, this kind of question has fallen into the "DPP authorities' logic."

The PLA's combat readiness patrols around the Taiwan Strait did not begin today, but were necessary actions in response to the previous series of "Taiwan independence" actions taken by the DPP authorities.

Although the U.S. government changed its term, did the DPP authorities change their position on "Taiwan independence" because of this?

So did the action of seeking "independence" cease?

The answer is no. The Democratic Progressive Party's "independence" is not stopped due to changes in the US political situation. Why does the PLA stop relevant exercises?

　　Secondly, the US factor is only one of the influencing factors in the mainland's process of resolving the Taiwan issue, but it is by no means a decisive factor.

The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and the solution to this issue cannot be based on the eyes of others.

The DPP authorities and the green media deliberately expanded the cross-strait issue into a Sino-US issue, putting themselves in high regard and underestimating the mainland.

　　As for whether the People's Liberation Army will use the military exercise to solve the Taiwan issue, the key lies in the DPP authorities.

If it continues to ride on the road of "Taiwan independence", then the crisis of being completely eliminated will always be there; if it can abandon the "Taiwan independence" route and return cross-strait relations to the correct path of the "92 Consensus", the situation in the Taiwan Strait can be cleared. .
