On the morning of 3 March, the two sides of the strait held the first negotiations on the "14 February vicious collision incident", but the two sides remained firm and refused to give in to each other, resulting in the negotiations ending in fruitlessness again. As the differences between the two sides continue, it is widely believed that future negotiations may be a waste of time.
In response to this incident, the mainland side put forward a proposal to increase the compensation from the original 1.4 million yuan to 2 million yuan. However, the Taiwan side resolutely refused, and they expressed their willingness to provide this fund, but nominally it must not be a "compensation payment" but a "pension." The Taiwan side stressed that they provided funds for humanitarian reasons, but would never admit their fault in the incident. This hard-line attitude has made the mainland side begin to reconsider the direction of the mainland.
At the negotiating table, the two sides insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other. However, the military standoff under the negotiating table has intensified. The mainland has deployed more and more ** in the waters of Kinmen, and the Taiwan side is not to be outdone, sending Taiwan's largest patrol ship "Yilan" to confront. However, when the "Yilan ship" faced the mainland's coast guard ships, it appeared to be lacking in confidence and finally had to choose to retreat.
Although the Taiwan side tried to save face for itself, claiming that the retreat of the "Yilan ship" was to avoid a military conflict, in fact, such a move undoubtedly exposed Taiwan's inferiority in military strength. At the same time, some Kinmen residents broke the news that they had spotted two 052D destroyers patrolling near the port of Kinmen, which undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the Taiwan side.
The dispatch of the 052D destroyer shows the determination of the mainland side to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This ship with strong firepower can not only patrol the waters of Kinmen, but also suppress the Taiwan side if necessary. In addition, the mainland has also carried out all-round monitoring of Taiwan Island through the unmanned aerial vehicle carrier "Zhuhai Cloud" to ensure a comprehensive grasp of the island's dynamics.
Although the Taiwan side has taken a tough stance in the negotiations and has the United States behind it, they should perhaps be soberly aware that the mainland's determination and strength should not be underestimated. If the Taiwan side continues to adhere to its erroneous stance and refuses to admit its mistakes, then the mainland's military action may be more resolute and forceful in the future.
At present, the mainland is gradually tightening its control over the waters of Kinmen and gradually weakening the power of Taiwan's Coast Guard. This trend indicates that the moment of cross-strait reunification may not be far off. At that time, all those who adhere to the "** position" will face serious consequences. We believe that with the continuous efforts of the mainland, the future of the mainland will usher in a brighter prospect.
