Leader Tsai Ing -wen's visit, Beijing first announced that from April 5th to 7th, the "Special Action for Joint Police Inspection in the Central Taiwan Strait".On the day, the "Ringtai Island War Police Patrol and United Lingjian Exercise", in addition to conducting deterrence through military power, also conducted a propaganda war.Although the scale and publicity of the military exercise cannot be compared with the siege army in August last year, the meaning behind it is still worthy of attention.
The purpose of the two military exercises in the mainland this year and last year is different from wanting to determine. The biggest difference is that this time has not been implemented in Dongfeng missiles. Although the Rocket Army has participated in military exercises, there is no launching ballistic missile missileThe greatest possibility should be fell into the Japanese exclusive economic zone (EEZ) with five missiles last year. Afterwards, it has attracted a serious concern of Japan's serious protests and the international situation in the Taiwan Strait.More active cooperation.Compared to the chain reaction of ballistic missiles that can trigger, sea and aircraft ships have high elasticity.Different from last year, he focused on blocking and deterrence against Taiwan. The military exercise of the PLA tried to launch multiple attacks on Taiwan without using ballistic missiles.
Although the PLA may not be able to cross the island chain easily during the war, you can see if the PLA can issue a exercise order on the Central Military Commission after the practice fleet crosses the island chain in this military exercise.At the time, the ships with different tasks are quickly assembled, the task is integrated to reach the tactical location, and the air strike formation simulation of various types of military aircraft will attack the Taiwan side.Although there is no actual launch of missiles, the PLA should verify the military exercises in this military exercise to perform the ability to communicate and combat the joint offensive combat against large -scale islands in Taiwan.The final "island closed control".This may be the first time after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In diplomacy, how to use force to achieve effective deterrence against Taiwan, but it will not excessively stimulate other countries, which is one of the goals of Beijing.Although the military exercise was in response to the meeting of Cai Yingwen's transit the United States and the House of Representatives McCarthy, they still waited until President Tsai returned to Taiwan to hold the second stage of joint military exercise.Deline moved only after leaving mainland China, on behalf of Beijing's hopes to reduce the military operations of the Taiwan Strait between the two sides of the strait, and avoid the intervention of other countries.
Although the Taiwan military exercises ended on the 10th, the aircraft carrier "Shandong" is still activity in the Western Pacific. In addition to its formation, the event of underwater submarine will pose a considerable threat to the Taiwan army and the world's surrounding countries.It is also on the public opinion battlefield that after the lesson of the last military exercise, Beijing also tried to avoid the dilemma of the last synthetic map.
For Taiwan, although the PLA's attack may come from the east, the PLA in the Western Pacific will also fall into the pinch of the Taiwan army and foreign forces. Similar strategic games are the direction that the Taiwan side needs to think.With the frequent exercises of the PLA, how to make Taiwan's defense strategy keep advancing with the times in the future, it is an urgent issue.
