The PLA aircraft and ships have been crossing the centerline of the Taiwan Sea in large numbers for two days in a row, and Tsai Ing-wen has called on China to refrain from provocations.

For two days in a row, a large number of PLA planes have crossed the centerline of the strait and then turned back, and the Taiwan military not only sent fighter jets to take off in an emergency and broadcast their departure, but also used anti-aircraft missiles to track and monitor them. Taiwan’s military today warned the opposite shore that if attacked, Taiwan will fight back; President Tsai Ing-wen called on the Chinese Communist Party to exercise self-restraint and refrain from provocations.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense pointed out on the 18th, there are 12 warplanes have crossed the northwest airspace of the Taiwan Strait midline, three of which are only 25 nautical miles from Hsinchu airspace, 37 nautical miles from the coast, some ships also crossed the strait midline, in Keelung Harbor fire on standby Taiwan Navy successful class warships are out to sea to support. Taiwan’s military considered this to be a fierce provocation to Taiwan.

At the time of the incident, Taiwan’s Minister of National Defense Yan De-Fa and Chief of Staff Huang Shuguang were participating in the Han-Guang 36 Exercise troop chess projection, and immediately left the table to sit in the Hengshan Command Post to respond. The Taiwan media pointed out that this was the most intense provocation taken by the Communist army in the middle of the Strait after the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis.

In addition to this, on the 19th, China again sent 18 military aircraft to practice in the strait, of which 12 warplanes from the north near Taiwan crossed the strait’s centerline. The Taiwan military’s analysis is that this is a planned, targeted, combat-oriented exercise designed to intimidate Taiwan.

Taiwan’s military revealed today that in the face of harassment by the Communist army, the military’s attitude is not to take any chances because it is impossible to analyze the real intention behind it. Recently, it has sent personnel to the Air Force Operations Department to tour the educational workshops, requiring fighter pilots to be sure to follow the regulations, and “no provocation, to avoid a shootout” as a principle.

Taiwan’s military also stressed that both Taiwan and China have declared that “do not fire the first shot”, but the so-called “do not fire the first shot” does not really mean that you can not fire, the key to “exercise the right to self-defense and counterattack”! The timing of the attack is partly a matter of considering norms such as “international law”. But the Taiwanese military also said that “if the national army is attacked, we will definitely fight back.

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said in an interview today that she believes these actions are not helpful to China’s international image, and because they allow the people of Taiwan to be more vigilant and better understand the nature of the Chinese regime, she called on China to exercise self-restraint and refrain from provocation.

The media asked what they thought of China’s choice to release a film simulating the bombing of the Guam base as U.S. Undersecretary of State Clark left the stage. In the past few years, China has been conducting military operations, and the intentions of all the countries in the region are becoming clearer and clearer that China’s presence is indeed aggressive and poses a certain threat.
