Germany deny the fighter plane to "cross the Taiwan Strait"?Their words are delicate

Recently, a number of foreign media reported that since the 15th, Germany will send multiple fighters to the Asia -Pacific region to participate in the air exercise code -named "Speed ​​Pacific 2022", participate in international military exercises in Australia and Singapore, and arrive Visit Japan and South Korea.

Among them, the German Air Force fighter thrown in the report on the issue of the German "Daily Mirror" will cause a lot of public opinion.

But from the follow -up reports of some Western media, Germany seemed to denied the matter. However, German officials said a little subtle.

Earlier, the fighter aircraft of the German Air Force will "cross the Taiwan Strait" report from the German "Daily Mirror" reported on August 14th local time.

In this report, the Daily Mirror not only declared that the German Air Force fighter aircraft will "cross the Taiwan Strait", but also gives a schematic diagram.

However, in the follow -up reports of the Financial Channel (CNBC) of the United Kingdom and the United States Broadcasting Corporation, the German Air Force Director Ingo Gerhartz seemed to denied the program of the German fighter "crossing the Taiwan Strait" to reporters. But his original words were subtle, not a very straightforward denial.

For example, from the Reuters report, Gehaz first said when responding to reporters that he knew that the South China Sea and Taiwan were sensitive areas, and then the original words he said were: "Our flying height will exceed 10 kilometers, and they will be more than 10 kilometers, and they will be more than 10 kilometers. Will touch the South China Sea, we will use international routes. "

Reuters summarized his claims as a plan that Germany did not pass through the Taiwan Strait, and would only take the "civil aviation route".

In an interview with the National Broadcasting Corporation Finance Channel (CNBC), when the anchor of this American media asked Gehaz if he would jump in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait when he participated in the "Speed ​​Pacific 2022" military exercise, Gehaz Although I first said a "no" when answering, combined with context and context, his "no" is more like saying that the military exercise that the Germans participated were not targeted at any country. Singapore will only take international routes when heading to East Asia.

But the problem is that if the itinerary of the German fighter contains the itinerary between South Korea and Singapore listed in the German "Daily Mirror", then even if the "just" international route or Reuters goes by the German army "This route will still be likely to pass through the Taiwan Strait. Because in several civil aviation routes in Singapore and South Korea, some lines will pass near the Taiwan Strait -although there are also routes that do not follow the Taiwan Strait.

As for whether the German side will go in the end, it depends on how the parties interpret it. At present, Germany's "Daily Mirror" believes that Germany will go, but Gehaz has a vague expression, although he repeatedly emphasized that he would not target China.
