The incident also sparked a lot of discussion within ROC regarding drone defense, for example:
"In face of communist China's UAV harassment of outlying island becoming the new normal, The Institute for National Defense and Security Research academic Su Ziyun recommend placing barrage balloons at different altitudes to interfere with intrusion by low flying aircraft, in addition to distribution of drone jammers for the outlaying islands.

Shit, we are going back to to 1940 tech. Truly leading edge.
China better go to 5% GDP defense spending if it wants to retain an edge
Nah 2% is fine. After their big increase ROC would only be out spent by PRC on military by... 15 times instead of 16 times?
Once AR starts, SKorea, Japan, Aus, UK, India basically all US vassals plus the hegemon itself will all be attacking China.... must plan for worst case
South Korea wouldn't dare - DPRK is just north of the border.
India has to cross the Himalayas - their logistics wouldn't really be able to support an offensive operation. Also from a geopolitical standpoint India doesn't want to be under the US sphere of influence. Plus, there's always Pakistan that's always a thorn in their side.
Japan will continue to allow US to operate its military bases. Whether the JSDF will actively join a war against China is not certain. After all revanchism is rife in China; there's certainly a groundswell of popular support for a war against Japan.
Australia - tacit support is guaranteed, eg. continued US operation of Pine Gap, intelligence sharing via the FVEY, aerial refuelling of USAF and USN aerial assets by the RAAAF, etc. Whether the RAAF and the RAN fire an actual shot in anger at the PLA is... not certain.
Western countries are refusing to send troops to Ukraine, which is right at their border and fighting against a comparatively much weaker Russia. I highly doubt they'll have the balls to send their destroyers to face dongfeng missile swarms in asia. They'll count themselves lucky if China doesn't sanction their necessities and medications.
This Su Ziyun dude has suggested attacking the 3 Gorges Dam with missiles, although he tried to walk back his comments afterwards. His sister Huang Zhixian is staunchly pro-unification while their brother Huang Weizhe currently Tainan mayor is deep green.
