The Ministry of National Defense think tank of the Republic of China and the National Defense Security Research Institute (NATIONAL Defense Academy) released the annual report of the communist Party of China (CPC) ‘s Political and Military Development Assessment in 2020, analyzing the reasons why CPC aircraft and ships disturb Taiwan. In addition, the Air Force announced On Tuesday that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has sent a Yun-8 technical reconnaissance plane to invade Taiwan’s southwest Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).
2020 will be a year of drastic changes in the internal and external environment for the Chinese mainland and the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Defense Ministry said in its annual report on the Development of the COMMUNIST Party of China (CPC) ‘s Political and military. In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, China itself has faced many problems in both external relations and internal control.
On foreign relations, the ACADEMY noted that the communist Party’s international image has been weakened by the epidemic. The RELATIONSHIP between the US and China continues to deteriorate due to science and technology wars, trade wars, The Hong Kong Security law and the US dissatisfaction with the Chinese Communist Party’s handling of the epidemic. Warming ties with the United States have also been a thorn in the Chinese Communist Party’s side, leading to increased military activity and intimidation around Taiwan and, in turn, undermining cross-strait ties.
In terms of domestic relations, the NATIONAL Defense Academy said that in addition to being affected by natural disasters such as epidemic, locust plague, swine fever and flood, the Chinese mainland has faced serious challenges in economic development, poverty alleviation, Hong Kong issues and other issues.
ADIZ frequently intrudes into Taiwan’s southwest airspace last year
The report also analyzes the causes and regional relationships of Chinese aircraft and ships that disrupted airspace last year. In recent years, the CPC has continued to conduct long-haul training in the airspace around Taiwan, for example, six times in 2016 and 20 times in 2017, the ACADEMY said. By 2020, the total aircraft scramblers, including sorties, intensity and frequency, are significantly higher than those in the past, and they are closer to Taiwan and frequently fly into Taiwan ADIZ.
Based on the daily number of troublemakers in 2020, the number has risen to 91 from 1 solstice on November 30, the defense ministry said. If further analysis is made on the location of disturbance stations of common machines, the most important difference from previous years is that ADIZ entering southwest is the largest.
For the ADIZ with frequent entry and exit of common aircraft in southwest Taiwan, the NATIONAL Defense Academy believes that there are mainly four reasons:
First, since the middle line of the Strait does not extend to ADIZ in the southwest, a common engine enters this area. On the one hand, it tests Taiwan’s response and applies pressure. On the other hand, as a breakthrough, southwest ADIZ is normalized in an attempt to expand its sphere of influence.
Second, since southwest ADIZ is located between the main island of Taiwan and Dongsha Island, frequent frequent flights of the same aircraft, as one of the means of military intimidation against Taiwan, also put invisible pressure on the defense of Dongsha Island. In this regard, the government also sent an enhanced company of the Marine Corps brigade 99 to Dongsha Island in June through the Han Guang exercise as early as the beginning of the frequent entry of Chinese aircraft into the SOUTHWEST AIR Defense Identification Zone, and continued to train there to reassure the people.
Third, Chinese aircraft continue to enter ADIZ, southwest of Taiwan, to collect information related to submarine topography and submarine warfare in this area, and to strengthen control over the airspace nearby.
Fourth, counter U.S. military activities in the region. Because of the influence of the us-china relationship this year because of the outbreak of rapidly, this year in the U.S. military operations often under pressure for the communist party of China, especially the southwest Taiwan ADIZ and bashi channel for troops in Japan kadena base of military aircraft to one of the main channel of the mission of the south China sea, southwest ADIZ total machine frequently now trace that Taiwan is a land two army military struggles.
The national Defense Academy pointed out that the evaluation of the Chinese Communist Party’s threat to Taiwan’s military in 2020 is actually beneficial to Taiwan’s long-term defense system and weapons acquisition in terms of results. The reason is that the Chinese Communist Party’s military bullying of Taiwan last year was the most intense and prolonged since the 1996 missile crisis, prompting a renewed rethink of the importance of defence in Taiwan.
The NATIONAL Defense Academy said that the importance of national defense has been reconsidered in Taiwan, including the re-examination of the church system, reserve mobilization, national defense, and the discussion on the concept of the military’s overall defense operations, which has been voiced through the media and received national attention. On the part of the arms sales, the justification for the us to sell assault weapons to Taiwan has been further strengthened because of the high level of military intimidation by the Communist Party, which may not have foreseen this.
In addition, the Ministry of National Defense released real-time military news on the dynamics of the joint aircraft. On the afternoon of February 2, a Chinese Military y-8 technical reconnaissance plane violated ADIZ, southwest of Taiwan. The Air Force dispatched air patrol troops to respond, broadcast eviction, and track and monitor anti-aircraft missiles.
From January to the end of December 2020, about 380 aircrafts invaded southwest Taiwan, according to the Ministry of National Defense. Compared with the past, the southwest is the most unusual and troubled airspace.
