China’s Ministry of National Defense： ＂Seeking independence by force＂ is more than a military counter-measure for a day.

　　Cctv newsOn the afternoon of September 29th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

　　Reporter:It is reported that Taiwan’s defense department recently submitted to the legislature the Report on the Military Power of the Chinese Communist Party in 2022, saying that the mainland "seriously threatened Taiwan’s defense security and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait" and used the exercise simulation to prevent foreign troops from providing assistance to Taiwan Province in case of war. In addition, according to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan’s "defense budget" in 2023 will increase substantially, with an increase of 13.9%. What’s your comment on this?

　　Tan Kefei:It is extremely irresponsible for the relevant report to deliberately exaggerate the so-called "mainland military threat", confuse the right and wrong, and raise the tension between the two sides of the strait. Taiwan Province is a part of China. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their activities have always been the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and the serious hidden danger of national rejuvenation. The PLA’s military training activities in the sea and airspace near Taiwan, China Island are just and necessary responses to the persistent provocations of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and are just actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. No one has the right to make irresponsible remarks.

　　The Democratic Progressive Party authorities distorted and denied the "1992 Consensus" and linked external forces to constantly seek "independence" provocation, which is the root cause of the current tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait. "if you don’t celebrate your father, Lu is not finished." If Taiwan independence is not eradicated, there will be no peace in the Taiwan Strait. The China People’s Liberation Army is determined to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. As long as the Democratic Progressive Party authorities and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces "seek independence by force", our military countermeasures will never stop.
