China's Ministry of National Defense: Resolutely thwart all interference by external forces and separatist acts of "Taiwan independence."

Beijing, 28 Oct (China News Service) -- In response to the so-called "speech" delivered by the leader of the DPP authorities on 10 October, Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said in Beijing on 28 October that it is the sacred mission of Chinese the people's liberation army to resolutely defend state sovereignty and territorial integrity and resolutely thwart all interference by external forces and "Taiwan independence" separatist acts. The trend of the times, where the righteousness lies; it does not move like a mountain, and moves like thunder.

On the afternoon of October 28, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to reports, the leader of the DPP authorities issued a so-called "speech" on 10 October, claiming that the two sides of the strait are "not subordinate to each other, and Taiwan will continue to expand its military strength, show its determination to defend itself, and go all out to prevent unilateral changes to the status quo." What is the Spokesperson's comment?

Tan Kefei said that President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the meeting commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, solemnly declaring his strong determination and firm will to adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus," resolutely curb "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, and defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, revealing the historical trend of the reunification of the motherland and national rejuvenation, and pointing out the direction of progress of cross-strait relations.

He pointed out that out of their "Taiwan independence" nature, the DPP authorities have disregarded the interests of the Chinese nation and the well-being of the Taiwan people, instigated confrontation and clamored for confrontation, attempted to kidnap the will of the People in Taiwan under the guise of the so-called "consensus," frequently colluded with external forces, and stepped up their plots for "independence" provocations. His despicable acts of forgetting his ancestors, betraying the motherland, and splitting the country once again prove that "Taiwan independence" and splitting is the greatest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and a serious hidden danger to national rejuvenation.

"The Chinese nation has a glorious tradition of opposing separatism and safeguarding reunification. Resolving the Taiwan issue and realizing the complete reunification of the country is where the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation lie and an inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Resolutely defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity and resolutely thwarting all interference by external forces and 'Taiwan independence' separatist acts is the sacred mission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The trend of the times, where the righteousness lies; it does not move like a mountain, and moves like thunder. Chinese the People's Liberation Army will strengthen its mission and maintain a high degree of vigilance to ensure that when the party and the people need it, they will be able to fight, and they will win the battle. Tan Kefei said.

Another reporter asked a question on the same day: According to reports, the DPP authorities have recently repeatedly hyped up US-Taiwan military ties, and another so-called "army commander" from Taiwan led a delegation to the United States, during which they attended the annual meeting of the US Army Association and met with US defense departments and military personnel. Do you have any comment on this?

In this regard, Tan Kefei said, "We have noted relevant reports, and have expressed serious concerns to the US side and made solemn representations, asking the US side to clarify this to the Chinese side." The one-China principle is the political foundation of Sino-US relations. ”

He pointed out that the Chinese side firmly opposes any form of official exchanges and military contacts between the UNITED States and the Taiwan region. For some time now, some people in the United States have violated their one-China political commitments, constantly played the "Taiwan card," and sent extremely wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, which has brought serious negative impacts on Sino-US relations between the two militaries and the peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. If the US side continues to stubbornly adhere to the illusion of "using Taiwan to control China" and attempts to substantially enhance US-Taiwan military ties by "cutting sausages", the Chinese side will resolutely counter and fight back.

Tan Kefei stressed: The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be realized and can certainly be realized. Any attempt to rely on the sniffles of others, to rely on foreigners for self-esteem, and to obstruct national reunification and national rejuvenation will eventually fail. Chinese People's Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to thwart interference by external forces and "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
