Yesterday is in charge of the Xisha Islands, the Dongsha Islands, the islands and reefs of Nansha Islands and its waters, Hainan, Shashi was formally established. The mainland side in full swing to build three Shashi did not stand idly by, is preparing to implement to strengthen the military plans of Itu Aba Island, showing the two sides in the maintenance of the territorial integrity of the heart have. In fact, earlier on the Diaoyu Islands issue, when mainland China strongly protested the move of the Japanese government's outrageous, the Taiwan authorities sent ships, sea Diaoyu Islands, escort private individuals behind the meaning of the continent is self-evident. The current cross-strait Although there is no positive to jointly rights, but tacit, silent cooperation.
Taiping Island by the Taiwan side, the actual control, is the largest area in the South Sea Islands, the sole owner of the freshwater resources of the island. It is located in the heart of the South China Sea, guardian of the crucial position of the Taiwan Strait, Bashi Channel and Bahrain Tong Channel entrance, the hub of maritime navigation, called the South China Sea, the key. In 1946 the KMT government to send the Navy recovered the Nansha Islands, and named the island, the flagship of the Pacific No. Taiwan in the 1990s, the South China Sea sovereignty position is quite clear, even the establishment of the South China Sea incident emergency management team. But to Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian's ruling era, the Taiwan authorities to promote "Taiwan independence" in an attempt to develop substantive relations with neighboring countries in the South China Sea, played down the Sovereignty of the South China Sea. Chen Shui-bian secretly put pressure on, stationed in Taiping Island, Pratas decades, the Marines withdrew from the level of the lower military color concentration of the Coast Guard personnel stationed.
Ma Ying-jeou took office in May 2008, admit that embody one connotation of the "1992 consensus", the two sides are also of this premise, all-round exchanges and cooperation. In the South China Sea, Taiwan has also increased the intensity: one is because in recent years, the South China Sea situation is increasingly tense and complicated, Vietnam, the Philippines and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea's growing ambition, provocation with increasing frequency, the light Vietnam nuisance Taiping Island in the first half of this year amounted to more than 60 times, also in March confrontation with Taiwan ships; the other hand, the Pacific island of weapons and equipment obsolescence, artillery range, speed slow enough to cope with drastic changes in the The situation in the South China Sea and to deter the Taiping Island coveted neighboring countries. According to an internal report of the military on the island, Vietnam and the Philippines, potential military deployment in the South China Sea, a great threat to Taiwan. Therefore, the Taiwan authorities actively deployed in the past few years and the strengthening of the military forces of the Taiping Island: Last year the first batch of training by the Marines Coast Guard personnel stationed in Taiping Island, to improve the quality of defense personnel stationed in the island; next month to replace the old artillery systems the expansion of Pacific Island Airport matters; once in 2009 was rejected recently mention on the agenda.
Admittedly, Taiwan initiatives will be enhanced to some extent, the defense forces of the Taiping Island, but if Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries army arrives, I am afraid that in the island of Taiwan soldiers will be difficult to resist. And the Pacific island away from the 1600 km, only 600 kilometers from Vietnam, the nearest port, only 800 km away from the Philippines, Subic Bay base. The old saying goes, is precious in war, to be Taiwan's reinforcement arrived, the war may have ended. However, the PLA Paracel Islands garrison from Taiping Island is only about 800 kilometers, just to make up for the Taiwan side location on the lack of In other words, if the Pacific Island military emergency, the mainland's military can be the first time to rush to the rescue. This shows that the two sides together to push the importance and necessity of retaining the South China Sea.
The saying goes, "the brothers and concentric benefit cut through metal, Taiwan and its alone, it is better to consider cooperation with the mainland. Although the two sides in the military not to cooperate in the maintenance of the territorial integrity of large major issue, the Chinese people on both sides of the strait is duty-bound, all differences and conflicts should be put down, jointly against the enemy, to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of.
