CHINA-TAIWAN: PLA ACADEMIC SAYS LARGE-SCALE INTRUSIONS OF TAIWANESE AIR SPACE BY PLAAF AIRCRAFT DEMONSTRATES CHINA'S CAPABILITY

In a new video on April 13, Professor Colonel Chen Hong of the Department of Intelligence and Foreign Forces Teaching and Research Division of China's Air Force Command College discussed the intended "message" the incursions over Taiwan by PLAAF aircraft was supposed to send to the Taiwanese.  He said "today there were 20 fighters, tomorrow there could be 40 fighters, and the day after tomorrow there could be 60 fighters, all of which could be divided into three, four, or five wings. Consider this: this level of combat capability is a huge psychological deterrent for Taiwan, for the motherland's sacred and indivisible [territory]. This is something we can do. With a fist like that, we can strike any of your one-finger chan or two-finger chan [Shaolin kung-fu forms using only one or two fingers]. A fist will always win over a one-finger or two-finger chans."

(Comment: His talk coincided with the large aerial intrusion into Taiwan's airspace by PLAAF aircraft the same day.)
