They need to buy some ballon shooters, F22
PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency

Whenever I see these new maps my heart skips a beat, until I look closer and see it’s a dashed line.
In a way it could be done... ballon carrying and dropping a bunch of small drones while being a communication relay to control them. If they can pass like that... they could just locate air defences with one ballon and swarm them with the following ones.
Do people think this actually happened? That two PRC utility tugs towing a platform approached within 3 nm of Cape Eluanbi? Other sources suggest that the tugs were backed up by a 054A and a 052D.
DPP fearmongering or a pre-election reminder from Beijing?
I'm not sure about a platform, but the trip by the two ocean going tugs really did happen and we've seen video evidence of it, including radio from the tug crew cussing out the ROC coast guard:
It’s what you don’t see that’s scary.
I didn't get any answers in the other threads, but are these balloons actually weather balloons? I haven't seen any side claim these are actually weather balloons. I also haven't seen any photos uploaded by people in Taiwan of them. These balloons very well could be more than just weather balloons.
I guess it doesn't matter anyways, not like Wanwanese can know what is in these balloons without shooting one down.

That was the first idea that occurred to me too, they took something mundane and happening all the time and blew it up for election advertising for the 芒果干 angle, but I don't see how it helps DPP since it's still Tsai's watch and she's letting the balloons just float by without doing anything. In the ROCMND account were they publish these maps:
People are calling out the MND for doing nothing about them.
