(00:00:00) U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi visited Taiwan for 19 hours. Just at 1200 noon the day after she left Taiwan, mainland China began military exercises, covering the six red areas you see. Compared with the blue range of the 1996 military exercise, this time not only crossed the central line of the strait, but was also closer to Taiwan. Four of the Dongfeng missiles even flew over Taipei, directly above our heads, and hit the East China Sea. In addition, Five more missiles landed in Japan's economic waters, triggering strong protests from Japan, but mainland China also responded politely. Japan has behaved very poorly on the Taiwan issue recently. If something happens to Taiwan, something will happen to Japan. Obviously, this missile exercise is a warning to Japan, warning that the mainland has the ability to prevent the United States and Japan from intervening in the Taiwan issue. As for Taiwan, what should be of special concern is that when the central line of the strait disappears, the Communist ships and aircraft can come and go freely, and launch missiles to hit wherever they want. If this is the new normal in the future and missiles are flying over our heads from time to time, can we accept it? Even though it is a hundred kilometers away in space, is it as harmless as an artificial satellite? In tonight's special report, we will tell you how cross-strait relations survived the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996.
(00:47:50) On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong announced the formal establishment of the People's Republic of China at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. In fact, the Kuomintang still had hundreds of thousands of troops on the southeast coast of the mainland at that time. General Tang Enbo commanded. As for General Sun Liren, who had defeated Lin Biao in the Northeast, it was because he was excluded by the Huangpu system that his hero was useless. During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he was placed by Chiang Kai-shek in Fengshan, Taiwan, and practiced for more than two years. Soldier, when Chiang Kai-shek flew to Taiwan in October 1949, Sun Liren personally greeted him. He assured Chiang Kai-shek that as long as I was here, there would be absolutely no problem with Taiwan's security.
(01:33:32) We have seen that China and Vietnam are at war with each other over the sovereignty dispute in the South China Sea. The anti-Chinese riots triggered in Vietnam have even seriously threatened the life and property safety of Taiwanese businessmen in Vietnam. The Taiwan government’s actions in this incident Among them, what position should we clearly express to the outside world? Don’t forget that among the Nansha Islands, Taiping Island, the only one with freshwater resources, has always been an island effectively controlled by our country. This means that in our sovereignty in the South China Sea, we should not be an outsider. It seems that we should not be silent from beginning to end. It seems that closing the door is not our business, and it does not mean that others will not hit you. Come on, isn’t this what this anti-Chinese riot is like? The Chinese are drilling for oil, but it is the Taiwanese who are being beaten. In other words, they only dare to beat the Taiwanese to vent their anger. Recently, it has even been reported that Vietnam may send troops to attack Taiping Island. When faced with questions from legislators, our Ministry of National Defense emphasized that it has not received such information at present, but even if the other side wants to attack, we are by no means vulnerable. Although Taiping Island is 1,800 kilometers away from the main island of Taiwan, our special operations troops can fly to Taiping Island in only four hours on C130 transport planes, and the Marine Corps will arrive in three days on warships, not to mention that in There are still heroic officials from the Coast Guard stationed on Taiping Island. Director Wang Jinwang said that since the deployment of eight 40-kilometer cannons on Taiping Island, Vietnamese ships no longer dare to enter Taiping. Within 6,000 meters of the island, in fact, when the Marine Corps officially withdrew from Taiping Island in 2000, it triggered controversy from the outside world. Was it the right decision to hand over the security of the maritime territory to the Coast Guard? On the front line of maritime law enforcement, there are too many dangers and situations that cannot be predicted on land.
