Beijing has made constant efforts to attack Taiwan. Following the release of the more than 10,000-word white paper "Taiwan Issue and China's Unification in the New Era", the Eastern Theater Command launched a "multi-army joint combat readiness patrol and actual combat" when the US Senators and Representatives flashed Taiwan. "Rehearsal", and also released a video overlooking the Penghu Islands.
On the morning of August 16, Lu Fang again announced that Xiao Meiqin, Gu Lixiong, Cai Qichang, Ke Jianming, Lin Feifan, Chen Jiaohua, Wang Dingyu and others were listed as "Taiwan independence" diehards in the form of "announcement on authorization of the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China". , and impose sanctions.
It is worth noting that, unlike last year (2021), Su Zhenchang, You Xikun, Wu Zhaoxie and other three were listed as the first wave of "Taiwan independence" die-hards by "reporting by the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council". It was released in the name of "the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is authorized to announce". Observers believe that this approach has been upgraded at a level, which reflects the attitude of the mainland.
The reaction of the "parties" in Taiwan is not surprising, and it is exactly the same as when Su Zhenchang and Wu Zhaoxie were listed.
For example, Cai Qichang said, "It's my glory," and Lin Feifan said, "I feel more honored and continue to work hard."
Times Power issued a statement stating, "CPC Chairman Chen Jiaohua was named by the CCP, which is undoubtedly a testament to Shili's defense of freedom and democracy. This is a glorious mark of Shili."
Chen Jiaohua also expressed through the video that it is a great honor to be listed by the CCP as a stubborn member of Taiwan independence. It represents her determination to defend Taiwan's sovereignty and adhere to democratic values for many years. She will continue to stubbornly adhere to "Taiwan independence values."
The noose policy of "fight without landing, break without death"
Since the People's Liberation Army's military exercise to encircle Taiwan, there has always been a saying in Taiwanese public opinion that Taiwanese people have "no sense" of what the mainland is doing. .
The politicians on the stage, as mentioned above, "picked up guns and cannons" and turned them into election chips to increase their political value internally.
Under the current situation of splitting and dividing the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, how can Beijing impose "long-arm jurisdiction" on Taiwan by sanctioning "Taiwan independence" diehards?
Many people questioned whether mainland China's tough move towards Taiwan was just a "big internal propaganda".
Similar "difficulty to understand" was actually raised 64 years ago during the 1958 Golden Gate Artillery Battle (called "August 23 Artillery War" in Taiwan), and it came from within the mainland.
Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi, once a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek who defected after the collapse of the Kuomintang-Communist peace talks in 1949, did not understand the CCP's delay in landing in Kinmen. Don't lose it, the time will never come."
How did Mao Zedong answer the "question of Zhang Zhizhong"?
He put forward the policy of "fighting without landing, breaking without dying", that is, only firing artillery without landing, blocking Jinmen, cutting off its backup, but not trapping to death.
For Mao Zedong and other CCP leaders, given the international environment at that time and the comparison of the strengths of China and the United States, they had to consider not only the Chiang Kai-shek government in Taiwan, but also the attitude of the United States, whether the United States was willing to fight for Taiwan and the CCP. fight directly?

The policy of "fight without landing, break without death" involves Mao Zedong's strategy of "noose policy" at a higher level, that is, not directly taking gold and horses, but leaving them in Chiang Kai-shek's hands is tantamount to putting them on Taiwan. The "noose" of the United States is also the "noose" around the neck of the United States.
You can "hit and stop, hit hard, beat small", and hold the other end of the "noose" tightly.
According to Wu Lengxi, the former editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, he recounted Mao Zedong's idea as follows: "When you need it, you can shoot when you need it. When you need to be nervous, you can tighten the noose. Hanging there alive and dead can be used as a means to deal with the Americans. As soon as we fired, Chiang Kai-shek asked the Americans to rescue him, and the Americans were nervous, worried that Chiang Kai-shek would cause trouble for him.”

The "Noose Policy" also has an important point of "one civil and one military", that is, "one-handed gunfire and one-handed negotiation".
In Mao Zedong's view, the Kinmen artillery battle was not only a military battle, but also a political battle.
For example, in international publicity, it is clear that the United States has created tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and the situation is that this battle is "China's internal affairs, and no foreign country shall interfere", emphasizing that "Taiwan and its coastal islands are Chinese territory."
The People's Liberation Army has carried out "Taiwan Encirclement" military exercises for several consecutive days since 12:00 on August 4.

Therefore, it can be seen that on September 4 of that year, under Zhou Enlai's plan, Beijing issued the "Declaration on Territorial Sea", announcing that the width of its territorial sea was 12 nautical miles. This provision applies to all Chinese territory including Taiwan and its surrounding islands. , without the permission of the Chinese government, all foreign aircraft and military ships are not allowed to enter China's territorial waters and territorial waters.
Mao Zedong once quoted a story called "Qingfeng" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", which was intended to show that "you are not afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are helpless", since the Eisenhower (Dwight David Eisenhower) government used "brinkmanship" (brinkmanship) policy to deter Beijing, then "we are on the brink of another war, both sides are on the brink of war, and neither side is over that. We use brinkmanship of war against Americans' brinkmanship of war."
In fact, the effect received is that the United States has concerns about escorting the Kuomintang warships, and at the same time restrains the United States and Taiwan to maintain the Taiwan issue under the "one China" framework, and also promotes the resumption of the Sino-US ambassador-level talks that were unilaterally interrupted by the United States.
Beijing is taking advantage of the trend and is also "cutting sausages" in Taiwan
Putting this history into today's situation, in the face of the joint operation of the "Taiwan card" by American politicians and the DPP government, the Taiwan Strait has entered a new "brink of war" situation. In response, we can see the shadow of Mao Zedong's "noose policy" in that year.
Moreover, taking advantage of the unprecedented advantages between China and the United States and the Taiwan Strait, as well as the reality of actually starting the reunification process, the deployment of this new "noose" has been expanded.
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Information Office of the State Council released the white paper "Taiwan Issue and China's Reunification in the New Era" on August 10, further reaffirming the fact and status quo that Taiwan is part of China, demonstrating the firm will of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to pursue the reunification of the motherland. Resolutely resolve to expound the position and policies of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government in advancing the realization of the reunification of the motherland in the new era.

The announcement on August 16 of a new wave of seven-member "Taiwan independence" diehards should not be regarded as a single event, including the military exercise in the Eastern Theater District the day before (15), and not just for the chairman of the US Senate Asia-Pacific Group Ed Markey led a delegation to visit Taiwan.
It is a part of Beijing's overall layout after the United States, represented by politicians such as Nancy Pelosi (also translated as Pelosi or Polosi), further provoked the Taiwan Strait and challenged the "one China" with specific actions. Both in response and in response.
For a period of time, in addition to large-scale military exercises, Beijing has opened a multi-line battlefield against Taiwan.
In the economic war, hundreds of Taiwanese food factories were banned, and thousands of products were suspended from the mainland; the import of citrus fruits, white hairfish, and frozen horse mackerel was suspended, and the export of natural sand to Taiwan was suspended; the packaging of products exported from Taiwan to the mainland must be marked with "China Taiwan" etc.
In the political battle, Yang Zhiyuan, who was "suspected of separatist crimes and inciting separatist crimes", was arrested and investigated, and later changed to residential surveillance; he named "Taiwan Democracy Foundation", "International Cooperation and Development Foundation", as well as Xuande Energy, Lingwang Technology Four Taiwanese companies, including Tianliang Medical and Tianyan Satellite Technology, are affiliates of "Taiwan independence" diehards and have been banned; the white paper "Taiwan Issue and China's Reunification in the New Era" was released, with the final arrangement of "Taiwan Special Administrative Region" as the call for negotiation .
In the diplomatic war, eight Sino-US cooperation projects were suspended, and the Sino-Japanese foreign ministers' talks were cancelled.
On August 15, the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army released a picture of fighter pilots overlooking the Penghu Islands.

The United States is "cutting sausages" in the Taiwan Strait with the "Taiwan brand". It can be seen that Beijing is also "cutting sausages", and gradually increases its tightening of Taiwan according to the situation.
Regardless of whether Taiwan agrees with it or accepts it or not, Beijing's new "noose policy" has broken Taiwan's perception of the "middle line in the Taiwan Strait", "airspace and territorial waters" and other lines of defense, and strengthened and advanced the declaration of sovereignty over Taiwan. Condemned, but there is no real "aid to Taiwan". The "support" of the United States for Taiwan only "appears" when the military exercises are temporarily cancelled.
In other words, what Beijing could do 64 years ago was to tie the "noose" around Kinmen.
64 years later, this new "noose" of "hitting without climbing, breaking without dying" may have directly crossed the "natural dangers of the strait" and caught Taiwan. "Whenever you need to be nervous, tighten the noose. When you need some relief, loosen the noose."
As for the "feeling" or "non-feeling" of Taiwanese society, it is not what Beijing cares about. The actual temperature is the unspoken feeling of the United States and the DPP government.
A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" learned that a senior Taiwanese cross-strait affairs expert confessed in private that Beijing's move from the toolbox to Taiwan can't be said to be "no pain or itching", but "it should be like the screw is getting tighter and tighter" , until the end of the breath, at least to create a terrifying pressure and atmosphere".
When the neck "feels", it also means that the "noose" is getting tighter and tighter.
