The\u201cGolden Cobra Exercise\u201d Facebook page on the 25th revealed that, more than 200 officers and soldiers from the United States, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and\u201cTaiwan\u201d gathered at the Camp Suronalee Parade Ground in Thailand, for the 2025\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d joint exercise kicked off. However, the Facebook page was subsequently deleted\u201cTaiwan\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In an email response to Taiwan&#8217;s central news agency, the press officer of the\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d joint information office said that the\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d joint information office learned that, a recent post about Taiwan&#8217;s participation in the\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d in 2025 contained a clerical error. The incorrect information in the post was due to an incorrect interpretation in the recording process and was accidentally published on a public platform. After the error was found, the content of the post was immediately corrected, \u201cTaiwan\u201d is removed from the content of the post.<\/p>\n<p>The office also said Taiwan was not a participant in the 2025 Golden Cobra exercise and that the Pentagon had never formally organized Taiwan to be a participant in the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>United Taiwan News Network previously reported that Taiwan has never participated in the past, \u201cGolden Cobra\u201d military exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang Jing, a senior researcher at the Chinese Strategic Society in Taiwan, said the addition and deletion of\u201cTaiwan\u201d could be either an\u201cUnintentional slip of the pen\u201d or a\u201cDeliberate provocation\u201d. Zhang Jing said that unless Thailand intends to sacrifice diplomatic relations with the mainland and cut off relevant procurement channels, it does not care about the revenue brought by Chinese tourists, otherwise, it wouldn&#8217;t have bothered to invite the Taiwanese military to participate in the annual series of Cobra exercises, and since the PLA is often invited to participate in specific exercises, Thailand wouldn&#8217;t have made such fundamental mistakes. He also analyzed that the People&#8217;s Liberation Army has been invited to participate in the annual series of exercises of\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d since 2014, at this point, the possibility of Taiwan&#8217;s military being invited\u201cIs almost completely non-existent.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Still have the Netizen inside island to say sarcastically: \u201cPut you up yesterday, take you down today. . . this is called chess piece or abandon a piece.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The United States, Thailand jointly organized the\u201cGolden Cobra\u201d multinational joint exercise began on the 25th.
