The threat of China on Taiwan and the explanation of the overflights of the island: “Our pilots will fight like veterans”

In coincidence with the China National Day, the Chinese regime’s army sent 38 fighter jets to violate the airspace of Taiwan in what was read as a clear provocation and a threat to regional stability. Immediately, the democracies of the world condemned this action by Beijing which put the authorities in Taipei and its regional and international allies. Among the complaints, that of the United States government stood out: “The US commitment to Taiwan is rock solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the region.The State Department said, through its spokesperson. Ned Prize.

However, what could have been interpreted by some as a provocation or as a guard of honor for the fortuitous date of the homeland, was not. It was explicitly stated by the main means of propaganda of the the Chinese Communist Party (PCC), the newspaper World times in his editorial on Monday, October 4. As if that was not enough, it was not a raid of 38 ships, but two provocations ordered by the head of the regime Xi Jinping. “People’s Liberation Army (APL) he did a great job!“Celebrated the editorial.

According to the official media opinion column, what happened is a “clear and unequivocal declaration of China’s sovereignty over the island”. “Fighter jets 38 and 39 sent on two consecutive days for day and night training near the island of Taiwan they weren’t an honor guard. They are combat forces intended for real combat. The increase in the number of aircraft demonstrated the operational capabilities of the PLA air force. The fighter jets that gathered over the strait may have been dispatched from different airports, demonstrating the PLA’s great ability to form a wartime airstrike.», Indicated the propaganda medium.

In another paragraph of the editorial, the regime’s media made it clear that the intention is to send an explicit threat to the democracy of Taipei. “According to statistics from the island of Taiwan, the PLA has sent warplanes into the island’s “airspace” 198 days so far this year. This figure reflects that the APL has achieved wide and deep operations to familiarize you with battlefield conditions, with a large number of PLA air force units that are used to flying close to the island. Once the order to attack is given, the PLA pilots will fight as “seasoned veterans””.

Ultimately, World times raised: “The PLA sieges Taiwan with a show of force as it did in Beijing in 1949. The future of the situation across the Taiwan Strait is clear. The initiative of when and how to resolve the Taiwan problem is firmly in the hands of mainland China.”.

China He usually sends military planes to this area to show his displeasure, and last week he brought in 24 planes after him. Taiwan request your membership in a major trans-pacific trade agreement. Chinese leaders have vowed to one day recover Taiwan, by force if necessary.

Pressure on Taiwan has increased since the president was elected in 2016 Tsai Ing-wen, who considers the island “is already independent”. Last year, Chinese military planes flew a record 380 sorties into the Taiwan Defense Zone, and their number in the first nine months of this year has already surpassed 500.
