"Everyone knows," Xiangqing explained that Taiwan has a small land area, mostly mountainous, fluvial and hilly. It is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, practically devoid of depth and cannot withstand a defensive war prolonged. In addition, it is severely lacking in resources shipping lines and energy supply. The supply lines are fundamental for Taiwan. The five exercise zones - ha specified - were essentially positioned on these lines vital. For example, two areas north of Taiwan, adjacent to the waters off the port of Keelung, effectively blocked this space vital aircraft. Two areas south of Taiwan, adjacent to airspace and the waters of Zuoying (Kaohsiung), interrupted the main Taiwan's sea route, effectively closing crucial military bases to the great powers. The third zone, located east of Taiwan, takes directly targeting the main external aid routes of the island, demonstrating the ability to resist the external interference".
