Realistic version of CCP's "Squid Game" kills people on order to satisfy the organ market
Reporter : Ye Enjie / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/10/19/a103246980.html
The Korean thriller "Squid Game", originally produced by Netflix, quickly became popular in more than 90 countries. The plot of live organ harvesting is even more insinuating in mainland China today.
In "Squid Game", grassroots soldiers secretly send participants who have not died to live organ harvesting, and then sell the organs for huge profits. The plot is surprisingly similar to the reality of international criticism of the CCP's live organ harvesting.
The British media "Daily Mail" reported on 17 October 2021 that human rights organizations claimed that the CCP removes the heart, kidney, liver and cornea from 100,000 dissidents and political prisoners each year. A government-run organ trafficking network for "homicide by order" is operating on a large scale.
Despite Beijing’s strong denials, the UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner issued a statement in June by 12 UN experts that the CCP’s plan for organ harvesting from detained specific ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities, earning 1 billion U.S. dollars each year.
Former Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Democracy, Robert Destro on 19 October 2021, said, "The Chinese Communist government is basically an organized criminal enterprise. It is now selling organs of its own people, many of which (organs) are from Falun Gong. They (the CCP) use everything to make money (monetize), from national resources to your liver."
The Special Rapporteur said in the statement that reliable information shows that detainees may be subjected to forcible blood tests, X-ray and ultrasound examinations without their informed consent, and other prisoners do not need to undergo such examinations. The results of the examination are registered in a database of the source of living organs for organ allocation.
The Daily Mail revealed that the CCP used the power of the state to carry out organ trafficking, which has been documented for decades. However, Beijing underreported its human rights violations by underreporting transplant data to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO was forced to accept official data from member countries.

Former senior official and law professor of the U.S. State Department: Falun Gong practitioners are so large that they are regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the CCP

Robert Destro, former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Affairs and a professor of law at the US State Department, said that the CCP originally supported Falun Gong, but because it feared that Falun Gong practitioners would be too popular with the public, it launched cruel persecution.
He said, "The CCP started to promote Falun Gong, including many CCP embassies."
At the International Religious Summit in Washington in July this year, Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson Zhang Erping introduced that the Chinese Embassy in France and other embassies had invited the founders of Falun Gong to teach Falun Gong; the Chinese consulate in New York also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad. And Americans learn about Chinese traditional culture through Falun Gong.
Falun Gong is a practice exercise based on the guiding principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" of the universe's highest characteristics. It includes 5 sets of exercises and has a magical effect on healing and fitness. The results of a survey conducted by the General Administration of Sports of the Communist Party of China in May 1998 showed that the total effective rate of Falun Gong in curing diseases and fitness is 97.9%.
Wang Fang, who served as the Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China from 1987 to 1990, specially invited Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi to treat him in August 1993.
Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and Law Professor Destro said, "Later, the Ministry of Public Security of the CCP discovered that there were more Falun Gong practitioners than the CCP (Party members). Therefore, the CCP tried its best to suppress and even persecute them to death."
"Falungong is regarded as an existential threat, including other religions. However, Falun Gong is particularly regarded as a thorn in the eye."
The CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong has lasted 22 years to the present. According to incomplete statistics from Minghui.com, in the first half of 2021, it was learned that 674 Falun Gong practitioners were illegally sentenced by the CCP; from July to August this year, 24 people were tortured to death.
The host of the seminar and senior researcher and director of the Hudson Institute, Nina Shea, stated that the CCP declared war on religious beliefs and suppressed "groups that conform to traditional Chinese values."
"They hate and fear any ideology and value system that differs from the CCP's own standards," including Christianity, Falun Gong, Uyghurs, and Tibetans.

Spokesperson of the Washington Falun Dafa Society: The CCP builds a database of Falun Gong practitioners' living organs

The host of the seminar, Nina Shea, a senior researcher and director of the Hudson Institute, specifically asked Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, spokesperson of the Falun Dafa Society in Washington DC, to introduce the situation of Falun Gong practitioners' organ harvesting.
Lin Xiaoxu introduced that the CCP has been suppressing Falun Gong for more than 20 years. It has carried out "brainwashing, torture, enslavement, and even live organ harvesting" on Falun Gong practitioners. After the CCP arrested Falun Gong practitioners, they conducted physical examinations to establish a live organ database.
He said, “They (the CCP) have imprisoned many prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs, who treat them as organ farms. The government will collect their blood types and biological tissue information and build a large database.”
"If the organ transplant hospital has a need for organs, they can search this database to find prisoners with matching organs and transport them to the organ transplant center to profit from it."
Lin Xiaoxu stated that the CCP uses the Public Prosecutors' Office and the medical system to protect the supply chain of live organ harvesting.
"According to the trial conducted by the Chinese court (London, UK), Falun Gong practitioners are the (CCP) main source of (living) organ harvesting."
"The CCP now even breaks into (Falungong practitioners)'s home with any excuse, arrests you, and then harvests your organs," he said.

The CCP keeps changing the source of live organs
The time when the CCP’s organ transplantation leap forward coincides with the time when the CCP persecutes Falun Gong.
Since 2000, China's organ transplantation system has developed rapidly. At the same time, the CCP launched the persecution of Falun Gong. Labor camps, black jails, and prisons are detaining Falun Gong practitioners everywhere.
He Xiaoshun, deputy dean of Guangzhou Zhongshan Hospital, said, “The number of liver transplants nationwide in 2000 increased 10 times compared with 1999, and in 2005 it tripled.”
In 2006, the CCP's first exposure to organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners caused an international outcry.
Dr. Lin Xiaoxu said, “In order to maintain the lies (of organ transplants), the CCP has continuously changed its narrative and introduced new narrative methods. After discovering that the number of organs from executed prisoners could not explain the source of the huge number of transplants, he declared that the establishment of an organ donation system...this is a systematic brainwashing of the world."
According to China’s public reports and the Chinese Medical Association’s organ transplant data, from the six years before 1999, there were 18,500 organ transplant operations. In the six years after 1999, the number was 60,000, of which more than 40,000 were transplanted. The CCP cannot explain the donation body source.
However, according to Amnesty International's records, between 2000 and 2005, the number of executions of prisoners on death row in mainland China averaged 1,616 per year. This number is far lower than the number of organ transplant operations.

"The CCP is a criminal group and the United States should sanction Chinese organ transplant doctors"
Robert Destro, former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Affairs and a professor of law at the U.S. State Department, said, “In my opinion, the CCP is an organized criminal group that sells organs of its own people, not only Uyghurs. ······Mostly Falun Gong practitioners. And, now, even ordinary students are missing. As long as they have your DNA, they can match the organs of the organ transplant center. They are also proud of it. '."

Nina Shea, a senior researcher and director of the Hudson Institute, said, "(living organ harvesting) is creepy and shuddering."
"This is still expanding. It may have happened to Falun Gong practitioners at the beginning, but it has now spread to other ethnic and religious groups, including Christians, Uyghurs and Tibetans." She said that the CCP's complaint to Falun Gong, Uyghurs and Tibetans Both committed the "crime of mass extermination."
Destro suggested that sanctions should be imposed on Chinese organ transplant doctors, prohibiting Chinese organ transplant doctors from entering Europe and the United States, and prohibiting them from publishing articles in medical journals.
On 20 July 2020, Destro met with five representatives of Falun Gong practitioners as the Assistant Secretary of State of the State Council. He revealed that the United States is studying how to make those CCP personnel who persecute Falun Gong, especially those who harvest organs from live Falun Gong practitioners, take responsibility for this and make preparations for legal prosecution and other aspects.
The former Assistant Secretary of State of the State Council praised Falun Gong practitioners for their efforts in exposing this evil behavior of the CCP at the Hudson Institute seminar.
He stated that in the CCP’s live organ harvesting investigations, such as the investigations on Chinese organ transplant hospitals and green channels, “Falungong practitioners have made extraordinary results...we must spread these news.”
Nina Shea, a senior researcher and director of the Hudson Institute, agreed. She said, “(living organ harvesting) is unacceptable. We should definitely initiate a campaign to do this (Expose and stop the CCP’s live organ harvesting)."

Pompeo: The CCP is the biggest threat in the world

From 16 to 17 October 2021, the former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the State Department’s former China Policy Adviser Yu Maochun (Miles Yu) arrived to visit California, met with local Hong Kong groups and Chinese dissidents, and delivered speeches. NTD and The Epoch Times were authorized by the organizer "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon" to broadcast the event (simultaneous translation in Chinese).
The "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon" organization hosted a number of lectures in San Jose, California Bay Area last Saturday (16 October) and Sunday (17 October), and invited former Secretary of State Pompeo and his China adviser Yu Maochun to attend and give a speech.
Thousands of people from all ethnic groups in Northern California gathered in the church on Sunday afternoon. The American flag and the slogan "Recover Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times" were hung on the venue.
Pompeo gave a speech expressing his support for the Hong Kong protesters. He pointed out that the CCP is the largest foreign threat to the United States and called for Xi Jinping to hold public elections.
Pompeo said, “In fact, the CCP is not only the biggest foreign threat to the United States, but also the biggest threat to the 1.4 billion people still living in mainland China.”
Pompeo emphasized that the CCP is an ideological party masquerading as a country, and it absolutely does not represent the Chinese people. "They want to dominate the world, and they want to change the way each of you lives in the United States."
He said that the United States has had a profound friendship with the Chinese people in history but the CCP instilled brainwashing among the Chinese people and tried to discredit the United States in order to maintain its own power.
Pompeo challenged Xi Jinping, "Hold an election." He said that if the CCP really dares to hold an election, it will see Chinese opposition to its tyranny.
Regarding the United States, Pompeo said that by relying on the power of faith, the United States can return to its traditional national values, "I believe that we will get out of the morally corrupt situation our country is in today." He responded in the final Q&A session. Hot topics such as whether they will stand for election in 2024 and whether they think the CCP will attack Taiwan by force.

Three main points against the CCP
In his speech on Saturday (16 October), Pompeo put forward three main points against the CCP: 1. It is impractical to negotiate with the CCP regime, because the CCP does not understand how people live in a democratic country and only knows how to obey orders. For Xi Jinping, I am afraid that his "Chinese Dream" is just the opposite of the "American Dream" or even the "Hong Kong Dream";
2. It is necessary to understand that the evil is the Chinese Communist regime, and more importantly, to understand the advantages of the Chinese people. The people who fight for freedom are on the right side, and the wrong is the authoritarian government;
3. Adopt an attitude of "distrust and verify" towards the CCP because they are full of lies. They not only lie to Hong Kong people, but also lie to the United States about the source of the new crown virus in order to conceal its mistakes.
Pompeo's speech was accompanied by warm applause and cheers from the people at the scene from time to time.
Pompeo said in a tweet on Sunday, “This weekend, I attended a dinner party hosted by Hong Kong Americans and an event to commemorate the 'Hong Kong Freedom Beacon', during which I reiterated that I will always stand publicly with Hong Kong people.”
He also attached pictures to the tweet. One of the pictures shows him speaking at a large conference hall with the American flag and the slogan "Recover Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times" hung on the scene. The other picture shows him and Yu Maochun and Hong Kong freedom. A photo of Yuan Gongyi, the founder of the lighthouse.
When Pompeo was Secretary of State in the Trump administration, he sharply criticized the Chinese Communist regime's violations of human rights internally and vicious external expansion. After Hong Kong implemented the National Security Act on 30 June 2020, Pompeo promoted sanctions against officials in Beijing and Hong Kong, and terminated the United States' special relationship with Hong Kong.

Yu Maochun: The CCP is most afraid of Chinese people agreeing with American values
Yu Maochun said at another seminar on the 17th, "The existence of a free America is regarded by the CCP as a threat to its survival."
Yu Maochun said that the most fundamental factor that determines the relationship between the United States and China does not depend on the hawks or doves in the United States: "Because the CCP does not believe in you. Why does it not believe you? Because the CCP fears the Chinese people the most. Identified American values, American social system."
Yu Maochun said, "Hong Kong is a tragedy, not only a tragedy for Hong Kong people, but also a tragedy for the whole world, because Hong Kong’s autonomy is promised by the CCP." The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration was registered with the United Nations and is a International treaties.
He said that this shows that the Chinese Communist regime is not credible. So I think Pompeo has adopted a very good attitude towards China, that is, "distrust and verify." Hong Kong is now an important example.
Yu Maochun also pointed out that what happened in Hong Kong illustrates the expansion of the CCP. If the world does not take action to deal with it, the next target of the CCP is Taiwan and then Southeast Asian countries.
Participants called on all countries to delink from the CCP, and hope that more people will understand that protecting Hong Kong’s freedom also means protecting the freedom of people all over the world.
Yuan Gongyi, who founded the "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon" in the United States, was a Hong Kong businessman. He positioned the mission of the "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon" as "annihilating the Chinese Communist Party and restoring Hong Kong."

Interview with Yuan Gongyi: Don't just oppose Communism. Destroy Communism
Image : Video Screenshot
Mr. Yuan Gongyi, the founder of "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon", said in an exclusive interview with NTDTV recently that more people need to understand the truth about the CCP, not anti-communism, but annihilation common.
Recently, Yuan Gongyi directly pointed out the attitude he should have towards the CCP.
Yuan Gongyi said, "Don't oppose the communists, but destroy Communism. If you are against Communism, my grandson is still opposing. What's the point of destroying Communism? So you are right. We people also want to destroy the CCP."
In this regard, Yuan Gongyi pointed out that many people have clearly realized that democracy cannot exist together with CCP.
Yuan Gongyi added, "There are many young people in Hong Kong who have come out, and they all support me. They no longer believe that they can share power with the CCP. In this regard, they have already awakened. These old people were deceived by the CCP and thought that everyone was Chinese. Don’t overthrow me. The CCP represented itself and kidnapped the Chinese people. That’s why we, the older generation, like me, and the older generation Situ Hua were deceived by criticizing people, and they did not expect to overthrow the CCP, but now the younger generation, the next generation, not my generation, are basically awakened, and just like my idea, they will not overthrow the CCP for a day. There is no hope."
He pointed out that to understand the CCP fundamentally is to understand that the CCP is just an illegal ruling party and does not represent the Chinese. It is necessary to clearly separate the CCP from the Chinese.
Yuan Gongyi, the founder of "Hong Kong Freedom Beacon", said, "Pompeo and Yu Maochun were separated. The CCP does not represent 1.4 billion people. Who elected CCP as the ruling party? No one has been elected, has not been elected, have you seen China’s votes? No one has seen this. You are illegal and your regime is illegal. So defeating the CCP does not mean defeating China. It must be replaced and the ruling party must be replaced."

14 Beijing human rights activists, including the families of several 709 lawyers, announced that they would stand for election as deputies to the People’s Congress. They began to be harassed and intimidated by the authorities before they were formally registered, and many people’s mobile phones were blocked and unable to get through.
The Central News Agency’s comprehensive understanding of the situation and Internet information reported that 14 people including the lawyers arrested in the 709 case, including Wang Quanzhang’s wife Li Wenzu and Li Heping’s wife Wang Qiaoling, announced that they would run for the National People’s Congress. The news has recently been widely circulated in Beijing’s liberal circles and received a lot of support but most people are not optimistic about this. They generally believe that it is difficult for them to get a chance to stand for elections under the strong official stabilization.

Radio Free Asia reported that the phone calls of Wang Qiaoling and Liu Ermin who were going to run for the election in Shunyi District and Shijingshan District, and Li Hairong who was running for the election in Shibalidian Township, Chaoyang District, were unable to get through on 18 October. Among the 14 candidates, the phone signals of many have been blocked.
78-year-old Zhang Shangen said in an interview that he “has already felt the pressure”. He said that the police from the local police station asked him on the 18th whether he had registered for the election on the street. He replied "not yet", and he planned to hold a recommendation (propaganda) activity in the community on the 25th, and register after getting the voter's recommendation.
According to the so-called "election law" of the Chinese Communist Party, candidates must first be recommended as candidates by 10 voters.
Li Wenzu revealed that many of the 14 candidates have already received calls from the police at the police station and the local national security team, "being threatened."
Among them, Liu Ermin, the wife of Zhai Yanmin, a lawyer in the 709 case, has received a call from the National Security Council. Wang Qiaoling's husband, Li Heping, a lawyer for the 709 case, also received a call. The other party threatened that the information about the 14 candidates had been "taken abroad", which was suspected of "colluding with foreign forces."
On 14 October, Xi Jinping declared at the National People's Congress work conference that democracy is an "important concept that the CCP has unswervingly adhered to" and that the Chinese people have "wide participation rights."
The next day, 14 Beijing rights activists including Li Wenzu issued a joint statement announcing their participation in the election of the district people’s congress in November. The statement stated that the 14 of them are well aware of the difficulties of protecting the rights of the people at the bottom and vowed to be "the people's deputies that the people can find" and speak for the people if they are elected.
The CCP’s National People’s Congress system is referred to as a "rubber stamp," and NPC deputies are usually designated by the government. According to the regulations of the Chinese Communist Party, only deputies to the people's congresses at the most basic township and county levels use the "universal suffrage system." Despite this "legal regulation," the vast majority of grassroots people in China have never seen the appearance of a ballot.

The US Pacific Fleet released two littoral combat ships and the German warship Bavaria that cruised the Indo-Pacific on the 19th. Photos of the maneuvers in the Philippine Sea, which is off the eastern coast of Taiwan, show Europe. Allies support the deployment of a free and open Indo-Pacific. In an exclusive interview with the Financial Times, NATO Secretary-General Stottenberg said that the CCP’s challenges are stepping up, and how to counter Beijing’s military ambitions will be an important part of NATO’s new strategy.
A fighter plane took off and landed on the British "Queen Elizabeth" aircraft carrier strike group. The four navies of the United States, Britain, Japan and Australia held the "MPX2021" exercise in the Indian Ocean. The "big picture" is very magnificent. On the same day, two US littoral combat ships were released and photos of the joint exercises in the Philippine Sea with the German Navy FGS Bayern F-217 (FGS Bayern F-217) cruised in the Indo-Pacific, showing that European countries joined the United States, etc. Allies, support the deployment of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
NATO Secretary-General Stottenberg 14 June 2021 said, "At today's summit, we defined the challenges of the CCP. The views among the allies are very consistent."
Facing the CCP’s military expansion in the Indo-Pacific region, NATO Secretary-General Stottenberg pointed out in an interview with the Financial Times on the 18th that how to counter Beijing’s ambitions will be an important part of NATO’s new strategy. He pointed out, "What we can predict is that the rise of the CCP will affect our security." "The CCP coerced its neighbors to see what they did in the South China Sea" and "bullying Australia, Canada, Lithuania, Norway, etc.' The behavior is inconsistent. They demanded "the country". "

The CCP may secretly test cutting-edge weapons. US Secretary of Defense: Pay close attention
Reporters : Bi Xinci and Chen Haiyue / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/10/19/a103247032.html
The CCP’s frequent intrusion into Taiwan’s waters has also raised concerns about the CCP’s nuclear capabilities. Recently, Western media reported that the CCP secretly tested hypersonic weapons. In this regard, US Secretary of Defense Austin said on the 18th (October) that Washington is closely following the development of the CCP’s "advanced weapons".
US Secretary of Defense Austin said, "Thank you for raising this question, but I am not going to comment on the specific report."
The British "Financial Times" reported on Saturday (16th) that the CCP secretly tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August.
US Secretary of Defense Austin declined to comment on the matter on Monday (18th), but said that Washington pays close attention to the CCP’s weapons development.
Austin said,"We are paying close attention to China’s development in weapons, equipment and advanced capabilities, which will only increase regional tensions. You have heard me say many times that China (the Communist Party) is my “step-by-step” challenge. We will continue to focus on this."
According to a report in the Financial Times, five people familiar with the matter disclosed that the Chinese military launched a rocket carrying a hypersonic gliding vehicle.
It is reported that the missile deviated from the target by more than 20 miles.
Two people familiar with the matter believe that this shows that the CCP has made amazing progress in hypersonic weapons, even beyond the imagination of US officials.
The report also said that the United States, Russia, and Beijing are all developing hypersonic weapons. These weapons fly at five times the speed of sound and have no fixed trajectory, making them more difficult to track.
Some experts said that if the CCP completely develops and deploys these weapons, they can resist the US missile defense system and destabilize the region.
Zhao Lijian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China: "This experiment is a routine spacecraft experiment."
However, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied launching missiles earlier on Monday.

In response to the CCP’s long-sword and mace, the Indian Army customized a batch of “non-lethal weapons”

In the Sino-Indian border conflict last year, Chinese soldiers used weapons such as iron rods welded with long nails, resulting in the tragic death of 20 Indian soldiers. The situation on the border has become tense again a few days ago. The Indian media reported that an Indian company, at the request of the military, spent more than a year developing a batch of "non-lethal weapons", which had been delivered to the Indian army for use.
According to a report by India Today on 18 October, in June 2020, the CCP used weapons such as barbed sticks, stun guns and stones against the Indian army during the conflict in the Galvan Valley, resulting in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers. .After that, the Indian military requested the "Apasteron India" company to develop a batch of "non-lethal weapons." Now a series of newly developed weapons have been delivered to the military.
The video (link to the video) shown in the report shows that these "non-lethal weapons" include tridents, metal rods, electric batons, electric shock gloves, shields, etc. All weapons are equipped with batteries.
Among them, the trident (named "Trishul") is a traditional long-handled cold weapon in India, but the company added a battery to it, and the tip of the halberd can release high-voltage electricity. The metal rod (named "Vajra") has metal spikes, used to pierce the enemy's cars and weapons, and can also release an electric current to stun the enemy for a short time. The batteries of the Dand and Sapper Punch can be used for 8 hours after being fully charged, and the electric shock gloves are used for close hand-to-hand combat.
In addition, the specially designed shield (Bhadra) can resist the enemy's stones, and can also release strong light to the front, making the enemy temporarily blind. A small hole is designed in the upper right corner of the shield, which can be used with electric batons.
In June 2020, a bloody conflict broke out between CCP China and India in the Galvan Valley. According to Indian media, the cause of the conflict was that the CCP used "maces" and other weapons to raid a group of Indian soldiers, resulting in the death of 20 Indian soldiers. Some of them were killed on the spot, and some fell after being injured. The valley is frozen to death.

Subsequently, the angry Indian army also organized a counterattack, and China also suffered casualties. However, the CCP has not announced specific casualties figures so far. After a long lapse, the authorities publicly "commemorated" several soldiers who died.
After the conflict in the Galvan Valley, the two sides attacked and defended each other. The photos published by the Indian media showed that the CCP also used cold weapons such as long-handled swords during the confrontation.

The latest satellite images show that the CCP is upgrading three air bases that are only a few minutes away from Taiwan. This is after the CCP dispatched a record-breaking military plane to disrupt Taiwan in early October, which once again aroused the attention of the outside world to the tension in the Taiwan Strait. What do military experts think about this?
The latest satellite photos show that the CCP may make military preparations for the attack on Taiwan.

On 13 October, the US technology and military website The Drive released for the first time satellite photos taken by Planet Labs (link). The photo shows that Longtian Airbase, Huian Airbase and Zhangzhou Airfield, where the PLA Air Force’s Zhangzhou Command Post is located, are under renovation or have built missile arsenals and aircraft. Various buildings such as bunkers. Moreover, construction has started early last year, and it has not stopped even during the covid epidemic.
The article stated that there is no clear sign of the CCP’s deployment of fighter planes from the photos, but the upgrade of the base can be used to intimidate Taiwan or support actual amphibious and airborne assault operations.
Longtian Airport and Hui'an Airport are only 170 and 190 km away from Taiwan, and are the two closest military airports to Taiwan. Both airports are used for transfers and used for bombers to move in during wartime.
Earlier, the U.S. Navy pointed out for the first time in its newly released strategic guidelines on October 10 this year that the Chinese Communist Party’s naval strength can even be “matched” with the United States. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense also stated in the 2021 CCP Military Power Report released on August 31 that the CCP has “beginning to paralyze Taiwan’s air defense, sea control, and counter-production warfare systems.”
Recently, the media on both sides of the strait reiterated the 8-day and 7-night exercise of the "Han Kwong 37" compound war game launched by the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense on 23 April 2021. The media reported that Taiwan defeated the invasion for the first time in this computer push., the Chinese Communist Liberation Army in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s "Han Guang" tactics have been reported by the media on both sides of the strait a few months ago. On April 30 this year, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense clarified that the main purpose of Han Kuang’s tactics was to hone the army and "there is no winner or loser." Similarly, news of Longtian and Hui'an Airport was exposed by the media last year.

Military signals released by the CCP’s upgrade of the three airports
Su Ziyun, director of Taiwan’s National Defense Strategy and Resources Research Institute, told The Epoch Times that satellite photos and analysis of these bases were already available before, but now they have only updated the data. “These three airports mainly increase the length of runways and taxiways, as well as strengthen Some bunkers (bunkers) were set up."
He said that the CCP’s move has three intentions. "One is to increase the airport-related capacity to facilitate the take-off and landing of large aircraft; the other is to serve as a temporary concentration site for helicopters of the CCP army to facilitate direct attacks across the sea; and the third is that these airports can operate large-scale aircraft. Special aircraft, such as Yun-8, Yun-9, and anti-submarine aircraft, will enhance surveillance and control of the Taiwan Strait."

Su Ziyun emphasized that in addition to the airport itself, the Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed rail will also be opened to traffic at the end of this year and early next year. The high-speed rail was sent to Longtian and Hui'an airports to directly launch raids on Taiwan."
He believes that the CCP’s reconstruction and strengthening of the aircraft fort is not only to respond to Taiwan’s counterattacks, but also to resist possible US military intervention. "From the satellite photos, after the expansion of the capacity of the Zhangzhou base, it may accommodate two squadrons, about 120 fighters. Generally, a standard airport can accommodate two squadrons to one wing, about 60 fighters." He said this year. Satellite photos from April have shown that all three airports should have missile defense positions.
Taiwan’s senior media person and military commentator Qi Leyi believes that the CCP’s upgrade of the three airports of Longtian, Hui’an, and Zhangzhou is to deploy at the front and move the front line forward.
"Longtian and Hui'an Air Force Bases are very close to Taiwan, more than 100 kilometers, and the plane can fly to Taiwan in 7 minutes. These three airports are the first-line airports. Therefore, the CCP’s current renovation and expansion are of course forward deployments. "He added, "This is also a battlefield prepared for the substantial escalation of US-Taiwan relations."
Qi Leyi said that when the CCP fighters fly out of the second line, they can make a transition to the first line and provide the ultimate logistical supply, so it will strengthen the first-line airport.

He said that many of the CCP’s planes came from the second-tier airports, and the first-tier airports were basically not in use. “The situation has recently escalated, so it has been strengthened, and at the same time it is telling the United States that it has improved its combat readiness. I think this is what the CCP is doing. The meaning of lifting."
Qi Leyi does not think that the CCP is upgrading the airport to deal with Taiwan's high-tech weapons. He believes that the CCP is mainly transferring aircraft to advance the air combat power.

The military significance of Taiwan's Han Guangbing push
Regarding the Han Guangbing push in April this year, Su Ziyun explained that the computer push is to digitize the performance of various parameters of the weapon and simulate the combat capabilities of both sides in the computer for comprehensive evaluation. "This is a mature technology, and all countries are doing it. It is a technical wargame."
Su Ziyun focused on the interpretation of the changes in Taiwan's defense operations reflected by the Han Guangbing push. "In terms of deployment at the actual operational level, we have seen the strategy of decentralized deployment and asymmetric operations."
He explained that decentralized deployment is to disperse large forces into smaller forces, "in this way, the target is not concentrated, so as to avoid being overwhelmed by one pot, thereby preserving its strength." The investment in missiles is low in cost, and the speed at which combat power is formed is also fast, which can effectively offset the CCP’s quantitative advantages. This time the military push has also been verified."
He admitted that the CCP has made great progress in the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment. "So what Taiwan is looking for is a local advantage, and it is fighting asymmetric operations."
Qi Leyi also agrees with the actual meaning of Han Guangbing push. "The military push is the front stage of the military exercise, followed by the actual military exercise, and the actual military is used to verify the military push."
At the same time, he also emphasized, "The computer soldier pushes whoever wins and who loses is of little significance."
He said that the greatest significance is to use computers to deduce various battlefield scenes, and then deduce which ones are insufficient and need to be reinforced; and then re-verify when the second stage of the actual soldiers.
In this year's Han Guangbing push, Taiwan successfully "resisted" a thousand missile attacks by the People's Liberation Army. Qi Leyi said that in reality, the odds of victory for both sides may be difficult to estimate. "The CCP has a large number of missiles, and its long-range strike capability is also improving. However, Taiwan also has the home field advantage and is the defender. So it is difficult to estimate wins or losses now."

Forecast the situation in the Taiwan Strait: Will the CCP attack Taiwan
In response to the current increasingly tense situation across the Taiwan Strait, Su Ziyun believes that it is unlikely that the CCP will use force.
"The CCP is creating momentum." Su Ziyun said, "The CCP's approach is tantamount to helping Taiwan find friends, but this is an opportunity for Taiwan."
He believes that the opportunity for the CCP to dare to do it is not small, but small. "I believe the CCP will not consider the cost in order to win Taiwan, but the CCP cannot ignore the risks. The CCP cannot accept the risk of failure."
For example, Su Ziyun said that for the CCP, landing operations are actually very difficult. "Landing operations are a series of operations, including the first echelon, the second echelon, and the logistics echelon. As long as there is a link in the middle, the entire landing will fail. So this is an important opportunity for Taiwan to gain momentum."
He believes that if the CCP really uses force against Taiwan, the United States and its allies have a high chance of defending Taiwan. "But I think Taiwan will not pin its hopes on the help of others, but strengthen its own strength."
Su Ziyun also cited examples such as the Battle of Chibi in China and the Marathon in the West to illustrate that small victory over big cases is not uncommon in the history of war.
Qi Leyi believes that in early October, the CCP's military planes severely disrupted Taiwan, the purpose should be to show the United States its military strength. "The United States' six-nation exercise was in the southwest of Okinawa, and the 149 sorties dispatched by the CCP were in the southwest of Taiwan. There was an overlap in time, but there was no head-on confrontation."
He also does not believe that the CCP will attack Taiwan. "The CCP may be preparing as much as possible, but the conditions and capabilities are insufficient now."
Qi Leyi believes that on the Taiwan Strait issue, the United States has adopted a strategically ambiguous policy that is beneficial to itself.
"The principle of the United States is to ensure regional stability and avoid war. If there is a war, the United States has its flexibility and has different approaches." He said that the United States regards Taiwan as a hard-core ally, so it will definitely take action. "But I think The United States is not involved in the Taiwan Strait, but is concerned about the Taiwan Strait. Of course, this concern includes actions."
In response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent statement that "the CCP does not need to use force to reunify Taiwan," Qi Leyi believes that the CCP should pay attention to the fact that if it attacks Taiwan, Russia may have a neutral attitude and may not intervene. "The CCP absolutely cannot expect Russia to help it when it reigns over Taiwan."
