The Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait on the 3rd and has increased the deployment of ships and aircraft around Taiwan. According to the latest online poll, 55.7% of people expressed concern about the military exercises, sparking heated discussions. The survey showed that 31.8% of respondents were very concerned, 23.9% were somewhat concerned, while those who were not concerned accounted for 37.8%. This military exercise by the PLA is analyzed as an upgrade and extension of the "island-control model," strengthening its control capabilities over Taiwan.
The Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army conducted military exercises in the central and southern regions of the Taiwan Strait on the 3rd, along with the mobilization of ships and aircraft around Taiwan, which continues to attract attention. A recent online poll shows that more than half of the respondents are concerned about the PLA's exercises, leading to discussions.
Starting from the 2nd, an online poll conducted by a portal site titled "Do you worry about the PLA's military exercises around Taiwan?" had a total of 19,000 participants by 9 PM on the 6th. The results showed that more than 50% of the netizens expressed concern about the PLA's exercises, with 31.8% being very concerned and 23.9% somewhat concerned; those who were not worried accounted for 37.8%, with 22.1% completely not worried, 15.7% not too worried, and 6.5% responding that they didn't know or had no opinion.
During the "Strait Thunder 2025" military exercises conducted by the PLA on the 1st and 2nd, media analyses indicated that through changes in these actions, a new "island control model" is being formed in the strategy towards Taiwan, evolving from expanding power coverage to precisely controlling key areas of Taiwan's main island. This is seen as an upgrade and extension of the "Kinmen model," reflecting the further extension of the PLA's operational effectiveness toward Taiwan's main island.
