On April 25, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, at which Senior Colonel Wu Qian, director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered reporters' questions on the current hot topics on both sides of the strait. He said that Taiwan is China's territory, and the Taiwan issue brooks no foreign interference. On the issue of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the PLA has always maintained a fighting posture of "always being ready."
The Taiwan Army's "Han Kuang No. 40" is again targeting the mainland? Ministry of National Defense: Pushing and pushing is a dead end
According to reports, the Taiwan military recently held a computer war game exercise in the "Han Kuang-40" exercise, which extended the duration of the exercise from five days and four nights to eight days and seven nights. It is worth noting that for the first time in this year's exercise, the Taiwan military will include the so-called assumption of dealing with the "threat of mainland ro-ro ships," which is full of provocation. In this regard, Wu Qian said that the "Hanguang soldiers' push" is a dead end, and the "use of force to seek independence" is doomed to failure.
In addition, some media have revealed that Gu Lixiong, who is listed as a "Taiwan independence" diehard by the mainland, is rumored to be taking over as the leader of Taiwan's defense department. On the morning of 25 July, he openly stated that his primary goal after taking office was to continuously postpone the timetable for possible military moves on the mainland. In response, Wu Qian pointed out that the DPP authorities' vain attempt to "seek independence by force" will only aggravate the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait and will only harm the security and well-being of the Taiwan people. "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace in the Taiwan Strait, and it is a dead end. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) will resolutely fight "independence" and promote reunification, and will thwart all separatist plots.
Foreign Media Frequently Hype Up the So-Called "Military Threat from the Mainland" Ministry of National Defense: If we do not engage in "Taiwan independence," we do not need to be worried
Recently, the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command claimed that Chinese mainland's goal is to have the so-called "attack Taiwan" capability by 2027, and the joint military activities of China and Russia in the Indo-Pacific region are increasing. In this regard, Wu Qian said: Taiwan is China's territory, and the Taiwan issue brooks no foreign interference. On the issue of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the PLA has always maintained a fighting posture of "always being ready."
Other media revealed that after Chinese mainland recently announced the launch of the M503 route, more than 20 Continental Army aircraft appeared near the so-called "middle line of the strait". According to the analysis, this has broken the tacit understanding between the two sides of the strait for many years and may make the military relations between the mainland and Taiwan even more tense.
With regard to how to avoid misfire between the two sides of the strait, Wu Qian stressed that as long as "Taiwan independence" is not pursued, there is no need to be worried.
The United States and Taiwan continue to collude and provoke the Ministry of National Defense: Conniving at and supporting "Taiwan independence" will inevitably lead to burn yourself and eat the bitter fruit
Recently, U.S. President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid bill with a total value of about $95 billion, which will provide about $60 billion and $26 billion in security assistance to Ukraine and Israel respectively, and about $8 billion to "Indo-Pacific" partners, including Taiwan.
Wu Qian responded that Taiwan is China's Taiwan. The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and the first red line in Sino-US relations that cannot be crossed, and brooks no foreign interference. The US has blurred, hollowed out and distorted the one-China principle by selling arms and aid to Taiwan, sending a seriously wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, which will only aggravate tension in the Taiwan Strait and seriously undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Conniving at and supporting "Taiwan independence" is bound to set oneself on fire and reap the bitter consequences.
Although the mainland has repeatedly reiterated the importance of the Taiwan issue to Sino-US relations, the United States still turns a deaf ear and goes its own way. The US President's National Security Adviser said in vain that the United States will "take all measures to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," ensure that "Taiwan incidents" will never happen, and will continue to provide Taiwan with means of self-defense.
In this regard, Wu Qian said that "there is something wrong in Taiwan" originated from the United States stirring up trouble. If the US really wants to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, it should immediately stop interfering in China's internal affairs, immediately stop arming Taiwan, and immediately stop all official exchanges and military ties between the United States and Taiwan.
"The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and brooks no foreign interference. Wu Qian stressed: The Chinese People's Liberation Army shoulders the sacred mission of defending state sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will never let it go unchecked or soft-hearted toward all "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and external connivance and support.
