After a week-long encirclement of the island with a large density and large fleet of aircraft, the PLA temporarily reduced the number of warplanes in the Taiwan Strait.
According to the latest airspace dynamics around the Taiwan Strait released by Taiwan's "defense" department: From 6 o'clock on June 29 to 6 o'clock on June 30, five PLA fighters entered the Taiwan Strait.
Although the quantity has decreased, the quality has improved.
Five fighters approached Keelung 44 nautical miles from the north; The central part is 52 nautical miles away from Taichung; In the southern airspace, a helicopter cooperated with a drone, and the helicopter flew directly to the position of 35 nautical miles of Eluanbi, the southernmost point of Taiwan Island, setting a recent record.
Looking at it now, as the fighter planes continue to approach, the noose of the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island is getting tighter and tighter, until they finally suffocate and disappear.
The quarantine strategy in the Taiwan Strait is underway.
Everyone has seen the recent storms and waves in the Taiwan Strait, and this is normal, because the more we reach the point of completely resolving the Taiwan issue, the more we will see some kinds of ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods that cannot be diluted out on the last mile of reunification.
At this time, the biggest harm may come from within.
This is a matter of planning.
Back in 1996, the facts of the Taiwan Strait at that time were far closer to strong reunification than today, but at the last moment, the traitor appeared, the ball was shoveled off, and the ambition was unpaid, leaving regrets.
Such a scenario will never be allowed to repeat itself today.
There is one thing that worries this number.
It is a "Taiwan Strait Strategy Report" released by CSIS, a well-known think tank in the United States, not long ago.
It is not the content of the matter that worries them, because it is not a day or two that US think tanks have been playing tricks, but what they are worried about is their "foresight".
Or it's not "foresight" at all, it's more like reading someone else's script in advance.
This belongs to "smoking the old thousand", I believe you understand.
In a recent CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) study, it gave a "forward-looking analysis" of how Chinese mainland is operating in the Taiwan Strait, concluding that it is not a direct entry of military force, but the establishment of a new normal in the Taiwan Strait with law enforcement forces such as the coast guard.
It presumably refers to this state as "quarantine" rather than "lockdown".
Specifically, it is divided into "limited isolation" and "full isolation".
The term "quarantine" is sometimes used interchangeably with "lockdown". But this report distinguishes between the two, defining quarantine as a law enforcement-led operation to control sea or air traffic within a specific area. The blockade refers to a military-led operation aimed at drastically limiting the flow of traffic into Taiwan.
The purpose of "isolation" is not to completely isolate Taiwan from the world, but to maintain Chinese mainland's control over Taiwan by establishing transportation conditions in and out of Taiwan.
A key objective is to bring countries and companies into compliance with Chinese mainland's conditions,
If foreign actors largely comply with quarantine rules, this would strengthen the narrative that Chinese mainland controls Taiwan.
The second is "total isolation".
The implication is that because the operation lasts for several days, ships and personnel from Chinese mainland need to be rotated.
After a large-scale initial deployment, Chinese mainland can adjust force numbers based on factors such as capabilities, the degree of compliance with isolation, the strength of hope, and, if any, the military posture of the United States and allies.
These actions continued to varying degrees for more than two weeks before they began to taper off. However, the large presence of the Chinese Coast Guard and People's Liberation Army continues to operate around Taiwan indefinitely, on a larger scale than before the quarantine.
Therefore, judging from the current continuous actions of the PLA on the periphery and inner line of Taiwan Island, the next step may really be the normalization of law enforcement of the entire Taiwan Strait, which is what CSIS calls "isolation".
We hope that this is a coincidence, and may be the conclusion reached by the professional analysis and judgment of an American think tank. On the contrary, it is indeed time to consider the inevitability of such "coincidences".
One observer spoke of a phenomenon that "we are all infiltrated into a sieve."
So, how necessary it is to get rid of the scum inside.
We would also like to believe that it is the research capabilities of American think tanks that are strong enough, and nothing else.
The latest news is that China has begun to implement the "Rare Earth Management Regulations", which makes it clear that rare earths belong to the state, and manages the whole industrial chain of rare earth mining, smelting and utilization.
This is quite heavy news, and what it means to strategize rare earths is self-evident, and it will come soon.
