[global times-global network reporter guo yuandan] for compatriots on both sides of the taiwan strait, the mid-autumn festival is a very important traditional festival. on the morning of the 17th, the pla eastern theater command released a short video titled "guardian beauty" to consistently express its mission vision and firm determination to "guard the great beauty of china, safeguard the unification of the country, and safeguard the well-being of both sides of the taiwan strait." at the same time, the pla also rarely released surveillance footage of foreign ships passing through the taiwan strait in recent years.
the reporter found that this short video used bilingual subtitles in chinese and english for the first time. in addition, the short video had a clear rhythm. the 2-minute and 29-second short video chose two soundtracks and two styles of painting, conveying two voices and two attitudes.
the short video shows a series of scenes such as west lake and sun moon lake, wuyi mountain and ali mountain, braised pork rice, plum blossom cake, huangling mausoleum, and mazu worship, highlighting the brotherhood between the two sides of the taiwan strait with similar styles, tastes, languages, and customs. the video specially selected the scenery of xinjiang and the holy land of tibet, which is a clever response to the recent response of the taiwan affairs office of the state council that "taiwanese internet celebrities marvel at the beautiful scenery, beautiful people, and delicious food in xinjiang."
the other part of the video takes a sudden turn in style, showing zheng chenggong expelling the dutch and taking taiwan, shi lang restoring the taiwan system, taiwanese compatriots fighting against japanese colonial rule, and the kuomintang and the communist party working together to resist japan and save the nation, reflecting the spiritual core of "working together to move forward and being united against external foes" in history.
it is worth noting that at the end of the video, the pla rarely disclosed the surveillance footage of foreign ships passing through the taiwan strait in recent years. it can be clearly seen from the video that the actions of these foreign ships, regardless of size, new or old, are all under the control of the pla.
a military expert analyzed to the global times reporter on the 17th that short videos directly point out as "menacing evil spirits" external forces that are detrimental to cross-strait peace and hinder cross-strait reunion. combined with the historical fact that "the two sides of the strait are united in resisting foreign aggression", the advice to the other side to distinguish between friends and enemies and the expectation that history will shine through in reality is self-evident.
in addition, in response to the taiwan defense department's self-reliance on the natural barrier of the strait and questioning the mainland's military strength, wu qian, the spokesperson of the chinese ministry of national defense, made a domineering response before the mid-autumn festival that "the chinese people's liberation army has reliable means to turn the natural barrier into a thoroughfare." "the eastern theater command chose to disclose the full-time surveillance footage at this time, which indirectly confirms the pla's strong ability, strong determination, and confidence in victory in controlling the taiwan strait. this fully demonstrates that in the face of the clowns interfering in the taiwan issue, the pla has full confidence and strength to safeguard peace in the taiwan strait and safeguard the unification of the country." the above-mentioned military expert said.
