PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency
- Thread starter pugachev_diver
- Start date
Not a fan of these propaganda posters at all. I can't help but wonder who they're for as I don't see this changing any islander's mind for the better.
TPP and KMT supporters who currently hate Lai with a passion and probably make up the current majority.
From what I understand, opposition to Lai is mostly due to his handling of domestic affairs. Vast majority of Taiwanese are still hostile towards PRC.
I suspect the situation is bit more complex than "I hate the mainland", given the current DPP paranoia, internal politics and other parties opinion in the subject.
Lots more “if this is Taiwan democracy maybe the PRC isn’t so bad” feelings bubbling up in Taiwan these days.
PLA Eastern Theater Command Conducts Drills in Waters to the North, South and East of Taiwan Island
On April 1, the PLA Eastern Theater Command organized its vessel and aircraft formations, in coordination with conventional missile troops and long-range rocket launching systems, to conduct drills of air interception, assault on maritime targets, strikes on ground objects, and joint blockade and control, in waters to the north, south, and east of Taiwan Island. These drills are aimed at testing the troops’ capabilities of carrying out integrated operations, seizure of operational control, and multi-directional precision strikes.

There's a follow-up poster now:
If it wasn't obvious before, the double entente is obvious now:
进逼 (jìn bī) could mean "closing in," but in modern colloquial usage 逼 is a vulgar reference to the vagina 99% of the time
慑封 (shè fēng) could mean "fearsome envelopment," but 慑 is a very rarely used character. However, 慑 does have the same pronunciation as 射, which means to ejaculate 99.99% of the time when it's used with 逼. So it's almost certainly meant to be a pun on 进逼 射疯，"penetrate and cum crazily".
The exercises have been given a name: Strait Thunder 2025A.
