The Taiwan military has stepped up preparations for war on the outer islands because of the statement made by the United States on the issue of Xiamen and Jinjin
For a long time, the fishermen of Kinmen, Xiamen and Quanzhou have maintained harmonious fishery cooperation in the common sea area, and maintained long-term peace and tacit understanding. However, recent unfortunate events may have severely disrupted this tranquil situation.
The mainland side hopes that the authorities will face it positively and fully support the follow-up aftermath and preventive measures to ensure that such conflicts will not be repeated. However, it must be pointed out that this incident should not be used as an excuse to incite cross-strait tensions, but should truly demonstrate the determination to solve the problem.
According to the statements of the Taiwan Strait Patrol personnel, the fuse that caused the speedboat to capsize was "a collision between the two sides." However, the performance of the ** authorities has been disappointing, and they have never been able to face it sincerely, trying to use the matter to delay, evade, and even use misleading means to evade the problem.
When it comes to the attribution of responsibility and the disclosure of key evidence, they choose to remain silent and avoid the important and trivial. As soon as the incident occurred, Guan Biling, in charge of Taiwan's "Maritime Affairs Council," brazenly declared that the actions of Taiwan's Coast Guard personnel were not improper and tried to justify their violent acts.
The "** elements on the island sang and harmonized, adopted a provocative posture against the mainland, and were arrogant. Under pressure from ** and his family, Taiwan's "Coast Guard" reluctantly admitted that the fishing boat capsized and injured people due to the collision of their warship, but it still found excuses to evade accountability, and the revelation of the truth appeared to be fragmented and completely shirked responsibility.
In response to the tragedy caused by Taiwan's coast guard's expulsion of mainland fishing boats, the anger of people on both sides of the strait is rising. The Coast Guard's claim that the law was not videotaped for evidence is unconvincing.
According to reports from the island, the coast guard personnel are equipped with rigorous triple camera support when carrying out their missions: automatic detection equipment, high-definition cameras in the cockpit and body-worn law enforcement cameras.
These devices are designed to ensure that footage is available at all times, eliminating accidental "glitches". However, if the Coast Guard personnel said that the emergency equipment was not activated, it would explain at most the lack of handheld equipment, and it would not explain why all the personnel recorders on the scene failed at the same time.
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the reason for their refusal to provide the footage may be hiding key evidence that they are unwilling to make public.
In the crucial 48 hours after the unfortunate accident of the mainland fishing boat, the Taiwan Strait Patrol failed to submit evidence to the judiciary in a timely manner, which is puzzling. They did not inform the Kinmen "District Prosecutor's Office" of the details, nor did they inform the public in detail, leading to speculation about the destruction or concealment of evidence.
In the early days of the incident, the authorities rushed to blame the mainland fishing boat, claiming that it had "crossed the line" and caused the chase to capsize. However, under the pressure of ** and facts, their rhetoric is constantly changing.
According to the latest investigation results, the investigation by the Taiwan Strait Patrol Unit showed that the speedboat was seriously damaged, there were traces of collision with the mainland fishing boat, and the scratches on the law enforcement vessel matched the color of the mainland fishing boat, and the evidence was conclusive.
In the face of these irrefutable evidences, the lies of the Taiwan Strait patrol personnel are self-defeating.
In the face of the truth of ironclad evidence and public opinion, the Taiwan authorities have stubbornly refrained from changing and have intensified their efforts in a vain attempt to undermine cross-strait harmony. When US spokesman Miller called on the two sides of the strait to calmly deal with the fishing boat accident, the Taiwan military's actions suddenly reversed.
Previously, in order to prevent the situation from escalating, Taiwan's high-level defense officer Chiu Kuo-cheng made it clear that he would exercise restraint, avoid misfire, and promised not to interfere in the Xiamen-Jin waters. However, at the instigation of the United States, Taiwan's military went so far as to claim that it had asked the outer islands to step up preparations for war in view of a possible conflict and incorporate the response into actual combat exercises, hinting that Taiwan was prepared for any potential conflict.
This clearly reveals its attitude towards the escalation of provocations.
The island's defense department is cautiously responding to the incident in the waters of Xiajin, emphasizing the principle of "Coast Guard" leadership and non-conflict. At the same time, the Taiwan military has made every effort to monitor the waters involved and promised to provide support if necessary, while clearly pointing out that it will maintain a high level of alert in the waters around Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu, and monitor the movements of mainland ships to ensure safety.
According to the outside world, this move seems to be a self-emboldening strategy, trying to exert pressure with the help of external forces, which is essentially a superficial action to calm internal emotions.
The so-called Taiwanese army"Prepare for the conflict in the outer islands", in fact, it is a bluff to embolden yourself. However, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has made a clear response, and spokesperson Zhu Fenglian has severely condemned Taiwan's infringement of fishermen's rights and interests.
In the future, we will take resolute action to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of our compatriots, and any attempt to bully the weak with the strong will be completely stopped.
