On Monday (October 4), the CCP dispatched 56 planes to break into Taiwan’s airspace. This behavior has been the fourth consecutive day. On the 4th, it set a record for the highest number of aircraft disturbances.
According to statistics from the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China, from October 1st to 3rd, 38, 39 and 16 aircraft invaded Taiwan’s Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). On the 4th, another 56 co-planes invaded ADIZ in southwest Taiwan, setting a record.
These flying over Taiwan’s airspace occurred during the CCP’s celebration of the eleventh event, and it was also close to the National Day of the Republic of China in Taiwan (October 10).
In response to the Chinese Communist Party’s deployment of fighter jets to disrupt Taiwan, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday that China (the Chinese Communist Party) should stop “provocative military activities near Taiwan”.
She said that this would “destabilize, risk misjudgment, and undermine regional peace and stability.”
Psaki also said that the United States’ commitment to Taiwan is “solid as a rock” and that “we will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining sufficient self-defense capabilities.”
“We are also contacting privately and conveying clear messages through diplomatic channels.” She said, “Maybe this is the right place to (discuss) this information.”
She did not point out exactly that the White House is in private contact with the Taiwanese or Chinese (CCP) government.
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement issued late on Monday that it strongly protested the actions of Chinese (CCP) fighters and demanded that Beijing stop the invasion. The committee said that mainland China’s provocative actions undermined the stability of the Taiwan Strait and increased regional tensions.
Wu Zhaoxie: Taiwan is preparing for a potential war
Before the CCP fighter planes invaded Taiwan on the 4th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council in Beijing vilified and ridiculed Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie’s US speech on its official Weibo.
When Wu Zhaoxie attended an online event of the Hoover Institution in the United States on September 27th, he said that Taiwan is always subject to military and security coercion from the Chinese (CCP) government, including gray zone tactics and disinformation attacks; Taiwan witnesses, China (CCP) Expansionism further moves towards global strategic competition, from the situation in Hong Kong and Xinjiang to the East China Sea, South China Sea, Indo-Pacific, and Europe.
He warned that this trend has extended to the economic and trade level. Wu Zhaoxie said that peace in Taiwan is the key to ensuring the global supply of all types of chips, from cars to smart phones.
At present, governments of various countries are facing a chip shortage and are vying to obtain sufficient chip supply from Taiwan to accelerate the economic recovery after the CCP virus (Wuhan virus, new crown virus, COVID-19) epidemic.
Wu Zhaoxie said that after a series of increasingly aggressive military activities in Beijing, Taiwan is preparing for a potential war. He warned that if China (the CCP) launches an attack, it will “suffer huge losses”.
The ABC’s “China Tonight” program also aired an interview with Wu Zhaoxie on Monday. Wu said that it is expected that the Chinese (CCP) government will have further military threat activities, and Taiwan will continue to strengthen its self-defense capabilities. At the same time, he also called on Australia to increase intelligence sharing and security cooperation with Taiwan.
“Taiwan’s defense is in our own hands, and we are fully committed to this.” Wu Zhaoxie reiterated again, “I am sure that if China (the CCP) launches an attack on Taiwan, they will also suffer huge losses.”
The US State Department stated on Sunday (3rd) that the US is deeply concerned about China’s (CCP) provocative military activities near Taiwan and urged Beijing to stop its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercive actions against Taiwan.
At the same time, the State Council reiterated that the United States will maintain its commitment to Taiwan in accordance with the three US-China Joint Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the six guarantees, and support Taiwan to strengthen its self-defense capabilities.
On Monday, the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, pointed out that the U.S. remarks violated principles and demanded that the U.S. “correct its mistakes.”
