Analyst: The CCP is unlikely to attack or wait for the opportunity
Derek Grossman, a senior defense analyst at the RAND Corporation, told CNN on Saturday (2nd) that Xi Jinping has instructed the Chinese military to strengthen combat readiness and prepare to fight under “realistic combat conditions.” Therefore, as part of actual training and armed conflict preparations, it is not surprising that Chinese military aircraft continue to fly to Taiwan’s air defense identification zone.
Despite the increase in the number of Chinese military aircraft flying, Grossman does not believe that the battle is imminent. “I think it is unlikely that China (the CCP) will attack or invade Taiwan,” he told CNN.
“The People’s Liberation Army (the Chinese Communist Army) still has many weaknesses, especially when the U.S. is almost certain to intervene, and Japan and Australia may also support (Taiwan).” He added, “China (the CCP) understands that it has failed to attack or invade Taiwan. The serious consequences of this may continue to wait for the opportunity.”
After the CCP’s military plane disrupted Taiwan on Friday, Su Ziyun, Director of Military Strategy and Industry of the National Defense Security Research Institute, pointed out in an interview that the CCP’s strategic planning is basically not devoid of “seven political and three military”, so the domestic and foreign situation in China When encountering some challenges, they will habitually use the method of displaying military muscles to convey their will, and also to shift some focus.
