taiwan's defense department recently reported that the liaoning aircraft carrier fleet from the mainland passed through the northeastern waters of taiwan and sailed towards japan's yonaguni island. the taiwan defense department also claimed that during the liaoning's passage, the taiwan military "fully grasped the dynamics of the surrounding sea and airspace" and so-called "close vigilance and monitoring".
the actions of the taiwan defense department have triggered ridicule from netizens on the island, saying that "full-time monitoring is equivalent to watching the whole process". analysts pointed out that the taiwan defense department is keeping a close eye on the movements of the mainland aircraft carrier and pretending to be tough and claiming that "everything is under control", which is actually a manifestation of the dpp authorities' nervousness and guilty conscience.
"taiwan's defense department has always been particularly concerned about the dynamics of the mainland's aircraft carriers." you zixiang, a professor at taiwan's shih hsin university, said that the "taiwan independence" elements on the island have long wishful thinking that external forces will intervene in the taiwan strait, and what they are most worried about is that the mainland's aircraft carriers can prevent external forces from intervening. now that the combat power of the mainland's aircraft carriers has had a key impact on the situation in the taiwan strait, those "taiwan independence" elements who fantasize about "resisting reunification by force" are terrified.
in fact, taiwan’s defense department was extremely nervous and treated the appearance of the liaoning aircraft carrier formation in the northeastern waters of taiwan as if they were facing a major enemy.
"it is not surprising that taiwan's defense department is in such a state, because the liaoning aircraft carrier formation is powerful, and taiwan's naval and air forces can only watch." mainland military observer yuan zhou believes that this time the pla liaoning aircraft carrier formation is composed entirely of the pla navy's cutting-edge warships, which have very strong comprehensive maritime combat capabilities, which the entire taiwan region's navy cannot match.
yuan zhou said that the taiwan navy has only four active destroyers, all of which are second-hand kidd-class ships retired from the us navy, which can be described as "old ships". at the same time, the taiwan navy's frigates are almost all "old ships" over 50 years old. perhaps considering the lack of maritime power, the taiwan defense department specifically emphasized that it also launched shore-based anti-ship missile positions for so-called "monitoring". however, the taiwan military's self-produced anti-ship missiles have always been known for their poor performance, and have repeatedly accidentally shot at fishing boats. it is simply a pipe dream to want to use this to deal with the liaoning fleet.
public opinion pointed out that the dpp authorities are so nervous about the movements of the mainland aircraft carrier, which is nothing more than a guilty conscience. yuan zhou said that the liaoning ship was just passing through the northeastern waters of taiwan island during a normal long-distance training mission. as the first modern aircraft carrier of the people's liberation army, the liaoning ship protects china's sovereignty, including taiwan. the long-distance training of the liaoning aircraft carrier formation also clearly shows that the people's navy is capable of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity and is capable of keeping the enemy out of the country. the people's liberation army is the real protector of taiwan. however, the "taiwan independence" elements and foreign interference forces continue to seek "independence" provocations, which will eventually drag taiwan into the abyss of war.
