[Global Network Report] According to reports from United News Network, China Times News Network and other Taiwanese media on August 19, the US Stars and Stripes said on the 18th local time that the "Northern Strike" exercise of the US military joint military exercise ended on the 16th, and more than 500 Taiwanese soldiers participated in the exercise this year. In response, some netizens on the island said that relying on these 500 people is not as useful as Beichen 210%.

United News Network quoted the Stars and Stripes as saying that the "Northern Strike" exercise is the annual military exercise in northern Michigan, the United States, sponsored by the National Guard Bureau and will participate in it almost all U.S. services. And this year marks the first time in more than a decade that the exercise has moved from a traditional European scene to a simulated Indo-Pacific background.

The report disclosed that Taiwan has been quietly dispatching troops to participate in the exercise since 2021, and 500 Taiwanese soldiers participated this year.

Regarding this news, some netizens on the island left a message in the Facebook comment section to sarcastically, "The significance of propaganda is greater than that of the substantive meaning. These 500 people are not as good as Yu Beichen (Yu Beichen is a retired major general of the Taiwan Army. In 2022, he said in a political commentary program that one hit rate of Taiwan's "Tiangong" missile is 70%, and the interception rate of three simultaneously can reach 210%, which caused controversy) is useful."

Some netizens questioned, "Is it a monkey play in the north? Is it still tricked to give money to others?"

Some people also criticized that "Lai Ching-te also voluntarily cooperated with Taiwan as a battlefield."

It is worth noting that some media previously reported that the US side recently invited representatives of Taiwan to visit the US Allied Air Forces to observe the joint exercises of the US Alliance Air Force. Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, once answered questions from reporters on related questions, saying: "We firmly oppose any form of military engagement between the United States and Taiwan. Whether it is military aid, arms sales or other items, the United States wants to lead the war to Taiwan, with the intention of destroying and harming Taiwan, and its intention is extremely sinister. We urge the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, and stop sending false signals to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence". We warn the DPP authorities that "relying on the United States to seek independence" is doomed to fail, and "resisting unification with force" is a dead end."
