Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng redefines the definition of “first strike”. KMT legislator Kong Wenji asked a general question in the Legislative Yuan today, during the CCP military exercise against Taiwan in August, was the missile flying over Taiwan considered the first strike? Qiu Guozheng replied that, strictly speaking, it crossed our airspace and was considered the first hit.
Qiu Guozheng said that the original concept of the first strike was very simple, that is, missiles, artillery shells and artillery, and it was impossible for us to launch it. But when times changed, his drone didn’t have to go around and even a civilian plane flew over the outer islands intentionally or unintentionally, violating our territorial sovereignty. Airspace, as a first attack “.
Kong Wenji then asked if the CCP missile flying over Taiwan in August was the first strike? Qiu Guozheng pointed out that we hadn’t explained it clearly at the time, but strictly speaking, crossing our airspace was considered the first blow.
Qiu Guozheng added, but at that time the CCP also told us to expand the joint military exercise, so we did our best to hold it back, and we could immediately study and determine the angle of the missile after it was launched, and was fully included in the monitoring.
