The mainland's rocket flew over the island after the latest launch of a satellite rocket near the anchorage, an incident that triggered an unusual press release issued by the Taiwanese military. At the same time, the US Pentagon has also put forward a request to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that it will sign an agreement with China to notify each other of missile launches, so as to reduce the possibility of the Chinese and US militaries getting into a fire.
In the face of the increasingly fierce election situation on the island, various political parties in Taiwan have played the "cross-strait card" one after another to compete for votes. In order to avoid arousing concerns about "mainland interference in elections on the island", Keelung City** in Taiwan issued a notice asking unit personnel not to travel to the mainland. At the same time, Keelung City also responded to the hype of the mainland's "interference" in the election, in fact, the mayors of Taipei City and New Taipei City have recently privately led delegations to the mainland for exchanges, which reflects the KMT's desire to promote cross-strait exchanges to maintain peace and stability. On the other hand, *** has a different attitude, maliciously slandering the cooperation between the mainland and the Kuomintang, and attempting to continue to arm the Taiwan region to "resist reunification and seek independence."
Recently, the Taiwan authorities are interested in purchasing missiles, and this news has not yet been confirmed, but they have stepped up their efforts to play the "anti-China card" and have also built a number of missile command battalions on the island. This is both to prepare for the PLA's "urban warfare" and to win more votes in **. At the same time, the activities of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) around Taiwan Island have also intensified, and the Taiwan military has detected 12 Continental Army aircraft and 7 ** ships operating around the Taiwan Strait, and four of them have crossed the so-called "median line of the strait." In addition, the number of satellite rockets launched by the mainland has also increased recently, and the Taiwan military also discovered that the rocket flight path of a rocket passed over the airspace southwest of Taiwan Island.
The press release issued by the Taiwan military is different from the past on the mainland's launch of a satellite rocket, and does not specifically mention that the rocket is "harmless to Taiwan." This highlights the weakness and worry of the Taiwan authorities.
Previously, the mainland's satellite rockets were almost always launched in inland areas, and at most in the waters off Zhejiang, but this time they were launched off the coast of Guangdong, which is close to Taiwan, and this move has aroused speculation and reverie among some people on the island. Although the mainland's launch of the satellite rockets this time is a normal mission and is not deliberately aimed at the Taiwan region, the Taiwan authorities are worried that these satellites will be used for military purposes to monitor every move in the Taiwan region. However, the mainland has always been under control of the dynamics of Taiwan's military, and there is no need to spend so much effort to reconnoiter the situation in Taiwan.
Frequent test-launches of satellites can not only demonstrate the mainland's increasing capabilities in the space field, but also prove that the continent is also constantly improving its missile launch technology. This has caused the Taiwan authorities to feel panic and uneasiness. It was at this critical moment that the United States proposed to sign an agreement with China to notify each other of missile launches, hoping to reduce the possibility of a mismatch between the Chinese and US militaries.
On the one hand, the reason why the United States proposed to sign an agreement with China to notify each other of missile launches is that the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is unstable and the United States is worried that the mainland will take action against the Taiwan regionOn the other hand, the United States is more worried that the Taiwan Strait issue will trigger a miscalculation between the Chinese and US militaries. If this agreement can be signed, it will greatly reduce the possibility of a mismatch between the Chinese and US militaries.
This move shows that the United States is nervous about the situation in the Taiwan Strait and is afraid of the PLA. Although the dominance of the Taiwan Strait is firmly in the hands of the mainland, the overreaction of the United States and Taiwan to the PLA also reflects their uncertainty about the current situation. After all, the US military still has many military bases in Okinawa, ** and other places, and they do not want a war.
It can be seen from the whole incident that the current election situation on the island is fierce, and the blue and green parties do not hesitate to play the "cross-strait card" in order to compete for votes in order to safeguard their own interests. In the face of the mainland's rockets flying over Taiwan Island and frequently test-firing satellites, the Taiwan authorities have shown weakness and worry, and they wish that the United States would clean up the mainland. However, the mainland has long been well aware of the situation in Taiwan, and there is no need to rely on rocket test launches for reconnaissance at all.
Although the United States has offered to sign an agreement with China to notify each other of missile launches, although it is touted as reducing the possibility of the two militaries getting into a collision, it is in essence a manifestation of China's concern and countermeasures. The United States does not dare to underestimate the strength and intentions of the PLA, nor does it want the escalation of the Taiwan Strait issue to affect its own interests.
