On 7 December, a comprehensive Taiwan media report said that a few days ago, Wu Zhaoxie, head of Taiwan's department in charge of foreign affairs who was included in the list of "Taiwan independence" diehards by the mainland concerned, once again hyped up the so-called "military threat from the mainland" in an interview with the Australian media, clamored for tension in the Taiwan Strait, and falsely said that "the mainland is pursuing so-called 'authoritarianism of external expansion' or will trigger a third world war at any time." In addition, Qiu Guozheng, responsible person of Taiwan's defense department, said on 6 June when preparing for inquiries by Taiwan's legislature that the situation in the Taiwan Strait has reached a grim moment of so-called "life and death." Although there is a huge disparity with the mainland's military strength, the Taiwan military is still ready to "fight at any time."

The Australian media "favored" Wu Zhaoxie's exaggeration of the situation in the Taiwan Strait

Wu Zhaoxie is particularly "favored" by the Australian media, and many of his provocative remarks are thrown out by accepting so-called interviews with the country's media. During this visit, Wu Chao-sup likened the "Taiwan region" to a member of the so-called "democratic camp," saying that if Chinese mainland attack Taiwan by force, it will be a so-called "tragedy" for the "democratic camp, and Taiwan must carefully face its "strong neighbors" and prevent the possibility of "running amok with the mainland," thus avoiding the outbreak of war.

When talking about the gap in military strength between the two sides of the strait, Wu Zhaoxie said bluntly: In recent years, the PLA's military strength has grown rapidly, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become more complicated and severe. Although the two sides of the strait still maintain the so-called "separation of the sea and the separation of the rule" situation, the so-called "threat" facing the Taiwan side is far greater than in the past.

Wu Zhaoxie slanders China's pursuit of complete reunification as "foreign expansion."

During the interview, Wu Zhaoxie did not forget to show goodwill to the United States and Japan and other so-called "friendly Countries in Taiwan," claiming that Taiwan occupies the central position of the "first island chain" and has an extremely important strategic position, and if Chinese mainland eventually attack Taiwan by force, it will have a "far-reaching impact" on global strategic security. Not only that, Wu Zhaoxie also slandered China's just pursuit of complete national reunification as pursuing so-called "authoritarianism of foreign expansion," and he also "reminded" that we must beware of the so-called "Third World War" that may be triggered.

Qiu Guozheng claimed that "the situation in the Taiwan Strait has reached a moment of life and death."

In addition, when Qiu Guozheng, responsible person of Taiwan's defense department, went to Taiwan's legislature on 6 July to prepare for an inquiry, he "over the air" echoed Wu Zhaoxie's statement, saying that "the situation in the Taiwan Strait has reached a grim moment of life and death." Although there is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides of the strait, the Taiwan military is still ready to "fight at any time."

According to Taiwan's military statistics, in October this year, the PLA sent as many as 196 military planes into Taiwan's so-called "airspace" cruise, and there were 159 sorties the following month, so far, the PLA military aircraft in 2021 record island cruise record has reached more than 700. In this regard, Qiu Guozheng declared that any military action has its military purpose, including the Taiwan military's "Hanguang Exercise," and the Taiwan military also has a so-called response to the PLA military aircraft and warship patrolling the island.

Qiu Guozheng: Taiwan Wants to Raise Military Spending to Force the Mainland to Abandon "Armed Reunification"

Taiwan's legislature recently deliberated and approved the "Special Budget for the Procurement of Taiwan's Naval and Air Combat Capability Enhancement Plan," which once again set aside NT$237.3 billion in military expenditure. When asked "what is the purpose of drawing up the budget at this time," Qiu Guozheng threatened that although the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is on the mainland's side, the Taiwan side still needs to raise military spending so that the mainland can weigh the so-called "degree of harm caused by war to itself" and thus abandon the plan of attacking Taiwan by force.

Ministry of National Defense: "Independence" by force is bound to be a dead end

In view of the DPP authorities' repeated hype of the so-called "mainland military threat theory" and clamor for the enhancement of the so-called "self-defense capability," Ministry of National Defense spokesman Tan Kefei previously said that relying on foreigners to gain self-respect is doomed to be an illusion, and that using force to plot "independence" is bound to be a dead end. China must be reunified, and it must be reunified. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will remain on high alert at all times and resolutely smash any "Taiwan independence" separatist plot. (Taiwan.com Yin Sainan)
