From the most recent Taiwan Strait crisis we can see how the military situation in the Taiwan Strait has evolved since the previous such crisis 40 years ago. It is now characterized by two new features: high-technology military conflict, and uncertainty about when a cross-strait conflict might occur. Every day that the Taiwan Strait problem persists, a crisis could break out, and such a crisis will take the form of high-technology warfare.
時隔數十年，從最近發生的台海危機中可以看出，台海軍事情勢已有了新演變：軍事衝突的高科技化與兩岸衝突隨時發生的不確定性﹘﹘只要台海問題存在的一天，危機仍可能一再重複，而危機發生的形式將更高科技化。
