Zhang Xuefeng said that this is the first time that the PLA has conducted sea and air drills in six areas around Taiwan Island at the same time. From the schematic diagram, the six exercise areas are evenly distributed around Taiwan Island, including the air and sea exercise area and the missile landing area. "The most important thing is that there are five exercise areas or missile landing points in this exercise. The area east of the so-called 'strait center line' is the PLA's action to deny the existence of the so-called 'strait center line' and form a strong deterrent.
Once the Taiwan military responds, the PLA can completely 'catch turtles in the urn'."

There are three "firsts" in the PLA's Taiwan Strait exercises, which have unprecedented shock and deterrence to "Taiwan independence" and foreign forces
The Eastern Theater announced that a series of joint military operations will be carried out around Taiwan Island starting on the evening of the 2nd. That night, Xinhua News Agency was authorized to announce that the People's Liberation Army will take part in six military operations around Taiwan Island from the 4th to the 7th. Carry out important military training operations in various sea areas and airspaces, and organize live ammunition firing. Military experts told the Global Times reporter that, unlike before, there are three "firsts" in this exercise, which has an unprecedented deterrent effect on "Taiwan independence" and foreign forces.
Zhang Junshe, a researcher at the Naval Research Institute, told the Global Times reporter on the 3rd that judging from the announced joint military operations, this is the first time the PLA has conducted long-range live ammunition in the Taiwan Strait. Strong will and strong ability to interfere and "Taiwan independence" separatist plots.
Military expert Zhang Xuefeng said in an interview with the Global Times on the 3rd that a point of concern for the firepower of this exercise is that if the PLA's conventional missiles are launched from the due west of Taiwan Island, it is likely to pass through the sky over Taiwan Island. "There is an area in the waters east of Taiwan Island, close to the east, which may be a conventional missile firepower exercise area, which means that the PLA's ballistic missiles carrying conventional warheads pass through the entire Taiwan." Island to launch."
According to a schematic diagram of the exercise announced by Xinhua News Agency, the PLA will conduct simultaneous military exercises in six areas around Taiwan Island from the 4th, and reminded that "for safety, relevant ships and aircraft should not enter the above-mentioned waters and airspace during this period", Taiwan "United News" "Net" reported that "it is like a three-day blockade of Taiwan by sea and air."
Zhang Xuefeng said that this is the first time that the PLA has conducted sea and air drills in six areas around Taiwan Island at the same time. From the schematic diagram, the six exercise areas are evenly distributed around Taiwan Island, including the air and sea exercise area and the missile landing area. "The most important thing is that there are five exercise areas or missile landing points in this exercise. The area east of the so-called 'strait center line' is the PLA's action to deny the existence of the so-called 'strait center line' and form a strong deterrent. Once the Taiwan military responds, the PLA can completely 'catch turtles in the urn'."
In addition, according to the schematic diagram of the exercise released by Xinhua News Agency, Zhang Xuefeng said that the delineation of several exercise areas broke through the so-called "12 nautical miles" sea and airspace of Taiwan for the first time, and may even enter the range of 10 nautical miles. "There is only one in the world. China and Taiwan are an inalienable part of China's territory, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China. Therefore, Taiwan's so-called 'territorial waters' are also China's territorial waters. The PLA's exercise at such a close distance is not conducive to 'Taiwan independence' and extraterritorial waters. The deterrent effect of the forces is self-evident.”
Behind these three "firsts" is the continuous growth of the PLA's military strength. Zhang Xuefeng said that the People's Liberation Army now not only has a "crushing" advantage over the Taiwanese army, but our army also has enough strength, equipment, and actual combat capability to deal with the US military's provocation. This is also the basis for the PLA to conduct such a large-scale exercise in an area so close to Taiwan Island.
A commentary published by the "Liberation Army Daily" on the 3rd stated that Pelosi's visit to China's Taiwan region this time is another example of some American politicians stubbornly clinging to the "Taiwan to control China" plan and for the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. The US will go its own way, and China will never sit idly by and will take strong measures to retaliate. Any targeted military action is justified and necessary.
