On October 14, a major event attracted everyone's attention, and the Eastern Theater launched the "United Sword - 2024B" military exercise. This is not an ordinary military exercise, it is of great significance, and it has played a powerful deterrent role for "Taiwan independence" elements, and it is like sounding a warning bell to those who attempt to split the country.
Judging from the scale and subjects of the exercise, this military exercise fully demonstrated the strength of the PLA. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has surrounded Taiwan from four angles, and although the scope of this exercise is smaller than that of previous military exercises, the deterrent effect has not been reduced in the slightest. In this military exercise, the People's Liberation Army dispatched warships, rocket artillery, and various types of advanced fighters, and even the aircraft carrier Liaoning.
This powerful lineup has made people see the PLA's firm determination to defend national sovereignty. Moreover, there is also an important exercise subject -- "Closure and Control of Important Ports and Areas", which is like pinching the "lifeblood" of Taiwan Island, which is surrounded by the sea on all sides, further highlighting the power of this military exercise.
After the military exercises began, the Taiwan authorities quickly responded. However, their response was disappointing. Taiwan's "Ministry of National Defense" issued a statement not only strongly criticizing the Continental Army exercise, but also claiming that the Continental Army exercise undermined cross-strait peace and stability and shifted all the responsibility to the mainland.
They even said they would send troops to deal with it, defend the so-called "freedom and democracy on the island of Taiwan", and defend what they call "sovereignty". However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Taiwan authorities are bluffing, and they are actually very panicked in their hearts. Despite this, they still choose to follow the "Taiwan independence" line and try to confront the mainland to the end, which is extremely wrong and seriously undermines cross-strait relations.
At the same time, the United States also responded to the exercise. A United States State Department spokesman expressed "grave concern" over the Joint Sword-2024B military exercise.
They also argued that China's military exercises were unjustified and could escalate the situation and make the Taiwan issue more serious, and urged China to stop the military exercises, and blamed the Continental Army for the tensions in the Taiwan Strait. But in fact, it is United States' arms sales to Taiwan that are the root cause of tension in the Taiwan Strait. The United States' practice of only blaming others without reflecting on its own wrongdoings is really unacceptable.
What is even more surprising is that in this case, Biden actually sent a signal to China to negotiate, and the content of the negotiations is to reduce nuclear weapons.
Biden said the world needs to work together to completely eliminate nuclear arsenals and reduce nuclear threats, and he is willing to negotiate with Russia, China and North Korea on this issue.
Moreover, Biden's statement was cleverly timed to coincide with the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded by the Atomic Bomb Survivors Organization of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. This can't help but make people think, does Biden want to make a good name for himself through this statement?
Judging from the current situation, the United States itself is facing many problems. The Middle East conflict has greatly affected United States, which may be involved, and its deployed air defense systems and military bases could be put in danger.
Under these circumstances, if the United States wants to help Lai Qingde, I am afraid that it is powerless. Therefore, the ambiguous statements in Biden's statement also show that it is extremely unlikely that he will interfere in the mainland's military exercises around Taiwan.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, a fact based on historical, legal, cultural and international norms of international relations. The provocative acts of the "Taiwan independence" elements are a serious injury to state sovereignty and national feelings, and their actions will not succeed.
The purpose of the PLA's military exercises is to make the "Taiwan independence" elements understand that anyone who attempts to split their country will be spurned by the people, and that national reunification is an inevitable trend of history.
At the same time, the United States should realize its wrong behavior, stop arms sales to Taiwan, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. Peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region need to be jointly maintained by all parties, not by accusations and interference by one side.
Only when United States truly respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and stop its erroneous practices on the Taiwan issue can real peace and stability be achieved in the Taiwan Strait region.
For China, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is a core interest that will not waver at any time. The PLA's military exercises are not only a deterrent to "Taiwan independence" elements, but also a powerful response to interference by external forces. In the future, China will continue to firmly follow its own path of development, constantly enhance its strength, and strive for national reunification and national rejuvenation.
As far as the people of Taiwan are concerned, they should also soberly understand the harm of "Taiwan independence," support the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait, and jointly promote the development of cross-strait relations. After all, the two sides of the strait have the same roots and origins, blood is thicker than water, and peaceful reunification is the choice that conforms to the fundamental interests of the people on both sides of the strait.
In short, the "United Sword-2024B" military exercise is an important measure for China to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the wrong actions of the Taiwan authorities and United States will not change China's determination to achieve national reunification. We believe that with the joint efforts of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, the great cause of the reunification of the motherland will certainly be realized, and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also be realized.
In the current international situation, relations between countries are complicated. United States' hegemonic behavior on a global scale has aroused dissatisfaction and resistance from many countries. On the Taiwan issue, United States' interference not only violates the one-China principle, but also undermines regional peace and stability. China has always advocated resolving the Taiwan issue through peaceful means, but this does not mean that it will tolerate the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" forces and the interference of external forces.
From a historical point of view, Taiwan has deep ties with the mainland. It is an indisputable fact that Taiwan has been part of China's territory since ancient times. Although Taiwan has experienced some twists and turns in history, the Chinese people have never given up their claim to sovereignty over Taiwan. In modern society, with the continuous development and growth of China, the conditions for realizing the reunification of the motherland are becoming more and more mature.
The successful holding of the "United Sword-2024B" military exercise demonstrated to the world the strong strength and firm determination of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. At the same time, it also allows "Taiwan independence" elements and external forces to see that China is capable of safeguarding its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. In the future, China will continue to strengthen national defense construction, enhance the combat effectiveness of the armed forces, and escort the country's security and development.
For its part, United States should be soberly aware that China's development is unstoppable and that any attempt to contain China is futile. On the Taiwan issue, United States should respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and stop interfering in China's internal affairs.
In short, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the responsibility and obligation of every Chinese citizen. We believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and with the joint efforts of all the sons and daughters of China, the great cause of the reunification of the motherland will certainly be realized, and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also be realized.
