Broadcaster Says Joint Broadcast | Show of Force to Deter "Taiwan Independence" Separatist Forces
Today (14th), the Taiwan Affairs Office sternly pointed out in response to Lai Ching-te's advocacy of "using force to seek independence" and incitement of "resisting China to protect Taiwan": Inciting "resisting China to protect Taiwan" and plotting "using force to seek independence" and "using force to reject unification" essentially undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, pushing Taiwan towards war. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces that dare to take risks will surely bring about their own destruction.
Not long ago, the 055-class destroyers, the Dongguan and Anqing, were commissioned simultaneously. The appearance of these two new warships has attracted widespread attention.
The 055-class destroyer is China's independently developed and built fourth-generation destroyer, integrating advanced radar, universal vertical launch systems, and comprehensive electronic warfare capabilities, and is hailed as the "sword-bearing escort" of aircraft carriers. Both the Dongguan and Anqing belong to the second batch of missile destroyers of the 055 class, with significant improvements in ship performance and weaponry.
It is noteworthy that, after the commissioning of the Dongguan and Anqing, they immediately headed to a certain sea area in the East China Sea to conduct their first real combat training at sea. This arrangement sends a very clear signal, deterring the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, firmly safeguarding national maritime security, and demonstrating the People's Navy's readiness to fight and win at any time.
Just today (14th), the Taiwan Affairs Office sternly pointed out in response to Lai Ching-te's advocacy of "using force to seek independence" and incitement of "resisting China to protect Taiwan": Inciting "resisting China to protect Taiwan," plotting "using force to seek independence" and "using force to reject unification" essentially undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, pushing Taiwan towards war. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces that dare to take risks will surely bring about their own destruction.
This statement also gives the 10,000-ton destroyers a clearer mission. Looking back to January 12, 2020, when the Nanchang officially joined the People's Navy with hull number 101. From the Nanchang cutting through waves to the Anqing now galloping in the East China Sea, in just a few years, the family of 055-class 10,000-ton destroyers has grown to double digits, achieving full coverage across the three major military theaters. This means that whether in coastal defense or distant sea escort and joint operations, the Chinese Navy has formed a more complete force layout.
Striving for maritime strength and prosperity. With more and more new warships being commissioned, the Chinese Navy will have stronger capabilities to respond to various risks and challenges, executing diverse missions in broader sea areas. What we see is not just an increase in the number of warships, but also the strong determination of the People's Navy to defend the maritime territory and maintain peace.
