The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday released rare footage showcasing its tracking and monitoring of foreign vessels transiting the Taiwan Strait in recent years.
The command theater released the video to mark the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion which fell on Sept. 17 this year.
The footage features the PLA's tracking and monitoring of foreign vessels passing through the Taiwan Straits in recent years, including those from the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia and Germany.
It is clear from the video that the movements of these foreign vessels, regardless of their size or service life, are completely under the monitoring of the PLA.
Experts said that this fully demonstrates the PLA's confidence and strength in dealing with troublemakers attempting to interfere in the Taiwan question, and ensuring the national reunification.
The footage confirms the strong capabilities, firm determination and unwavering confidence of the PLA in overseeing and controlling the Taiwan Strait.
The PLA has always been a staunch force for safeguarding the national reunification and the wellbeing of the people across the Strait, the experts said.
