Speak with military strength and the mainland? As soon as the leader of the Taiwan region shouted frantically, 23 PLA military planes appeared around Taiwan Island.
The remarks of the Taiwan authorities have stirred up controversy, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait may make waves again
Recently, the words of the leader of the Taiwan region caused a storm, and when he attended the event, he threatened that "Taiwan will never sign a peace agreement" and also claimed that "the two sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other."
As soon as these remarks came out, they immediately aroused a strong reaction from the mainland. Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, unceremoniously shot back, saying that this stubborn "Taiwan independence" stance is not only a provocation, but also pushes the 23 million Taiwan people to the brink of danger.

At that time, the Taiwan authorities were still clamoring for strengthening their armaments and using their military strength to speak to the mainland. This kind of self-deception is ridiculous. Let's first take a look at the background of the Taiwan military, more than 1,000 tanks, more than 3,000 armored vehicles, and more than 100 F-16V fighters. But compared with the People's Liberation Army, it is simply an egg hitting a stone.
It is an indisputable fact that Taiwan is a part of China, but the Taiwan authorities are vainly trying to "resist reunification by force," and all kinds of provocative moves have emerged one after another. The mainland has long made it clear that every time a "Taiwan independence" element provokes a provocation, the PLA takes a step forward.
This time, the Taiwan authorities have made a big deal of nonsense, and the mainland's "countermeasures" will follow. In less than 24 hours, 23 PLA military aircraft appeared in the airspace around Taiwan Island, including J-16, Air Police-500 and various unmanned aerial vehicles, of which 22 military aircraft directly entered the airspace southwest and east of Taiwan. This kind of regular patrol has further reduced the space for the Taiwan military to operate, leaving it powerless to fight back.
I believe that the front-line Taiwan military knows best the combat strength of the PLA, and the reason why the mainland has not yet used force to reunify Taiwan is that it wants to do its utmost to strive for peaceful reunification. However, if the Taiwan authorities continue to provoke, they must be prepared to experience the strength of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in person.

The United States and Japan become a "life-saving straw"? The Taiwan authorities have overestimated themselves
Today's Taiwan authorities are desperately trying to drill into the arms of the United States and Japan, hoping to use foreign forces to "support themselves." But the question is, will United States and Japan really go to the sea of fire for Taiwan?
Let's look at United States attitude first. Recently, Taiwan media revealed that Taiwan ordered 66 F-16V fighters from United States, and the payment had already been in place, but the delivery was far away. The delivery of two F-16Vs was originally planned for the end of September, but it fell through again. According to the source, United States's current policy is to marginalize Taiwan, because in their eyes, Taiwan is not a priority at all, and they may fall from "pawns" to "outcasts" at any time.

Now that the United States is aiding Ukraine, supporting Israel in the Middle East, and supporting the Philippines in the Asia-Pacific region, its attention to Taiwan is declining.
It is worth mentioning that the war games of the United States think tank show that in a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, United States will not be able to take advantage of anything, and will even lose miserably. This may also be the reason why United States is half-hearted and does not dare to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait lightly.
After years of development, the mainland has long possessed the ability to blockade the Taiwan Strait, and it has also been able to make United States and Japan dare not act rashly.
If the Taiwan authorities continue to provoke, the PLA's countermeasures will only become more severe. United States and Japan may support Taiwan in public opinion, but it may be difficult to really get them to fight militarily. If Taiwan blindly relies on foreign aid, it is tantamount to setting itself on fire.

As far as the Taiwan authorities are concerned, they have indeed reached a critical crossroads. On the one hand, the mainland has shown great patience and sincerity in the hope of realizing cross-strait reunification through peaceful means. On the other hand, the PLA's military capability has been rapidly enhanced, and it has the strength to counterattack "Taiwan independence" elements at any time. If the Taiwan authorities are not sober up and continue to dream of "resisting reunification by force," they will only be able to "use their mantis arms as a car" and bring about their own destruction.
