According to legend, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army plans to carry out seizure and landing exercises on the island in the South China Sea area around Hainan Island in August, targeting the Dongsha Islands. Experts believe that “surrounding aid” is a common tactic of the Communist Party’s civil war. The Dongsha Islands are international waters in the South China Sea. This tactic simply does not work. The strategic group of countries led by the United States in India and the Pacific attacks the end.

The Dongsha Islands are currently under the royal control of Taiwan. Kyodo News of Japan stated that the CCP has a naval base on Hainan Island. The Dongsha Islands are located on the route from Hainan Island to the Pacific Ocean through the bus strait. It has an important strategic value for the communist army to enter the Pacific Ocean. Last year the first domestic “Shandong Ship” aircraft carrier that entered the Chinese navy service in December was also deployed on Hainan Island. For the Chinese Communist Party, it is necessary to strengthen control of Dongsha. The Communist Army’s August exercise will use landing ships, hovercrafts, helicopters, and marines, “unprecedented scale.”
“The Epoch Times” reported that He Chenghui, a researcher with the Taiwan Strategic Simulation Society, mentioned in an exclusive interview that the CCP has been coveting the East China Sea and South China Sea regions for a long time, trying to “inland sea” and “privatize” their frequent actions. To take control of the South China Sea, the focus is on the offensive and defense of control and occupation of “island reefs”.
Chenghui analyzed that “surrounding aid” is a tactic commonly used by communist forces in civil wars. This is the idea of fighting under the Kuomintang and Communist Party civil war. However, the location of the Dongsha Islands in the South China Sea are international waters, and this tactic does not work at all. .
Furthermore, he analyzed that if the blockade surrounds Dongsha Island, the first problem the CCP faces is how to deal with ships in the access areas of other countries. Chenghui said that such a blocking effect will not only affect Taiwan and the entire island of East Shah, but will also affect the activities of Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries in this region.
Does the Communist Party dare to snatch the Dongsha Islands? Chenghui mentioned that the CCP has been planning the South China Sea for a long time. It is now through military exercises to achieve the purpose of intimidation, and he declares that he has some degree of control in this area. But the CCP has not been prepared so far, and especially the international situation does not allow the CCP to designate the South China Sea as a private area. If the CCP goes to war in the South China Sea, it will provoke strategic attacks by the strategic Indo-Pacific countries against the CCP.
As for the dispute in the South China Sea, how should Taiwan respond? Chenghui emphasized that, regardless of the values and the free and democratic system that Taiwan has, it must certainly be on the side of the free and democratic field. In addition to strengthening its independent defense, Taiwan will strengthen the establishment of an “alliance of values” with the international community. More important.
The US Department of Defense. USA It released the “Indo-Pacific Strategy Report” last year, which lists Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand and Mongolia as “countries.” The report mentions that all four countries are reliable partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region.
Dongsha Island does not currently have a permanent population. Officers and soldiers of the Patrol Administration are stationed on the island normally.
