In a recent press conference, Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Chinese mainland's Defense Ministry, emphasized that the latest shipment of U.S. weaponry to Taiwan won't be the 'magic straw' to save the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities. 🛡️
Responding to reports about the arrival of the first batch of M1A2T battle tanks purchased by Taiwan from the U.S., Zhang warned that Taiwan's pursuit of independence through U.S. support is destined to fail. He stated that resorting to force to resist reunification leads nowhere.
Zhang called on the U.S. to adhere to the one-China principle and honor the three China-U.S. joint communiques. He urged the U.S. to cease arms sales to Taiwan and halt any actions that could destabilize peace across the Taiwan Strait.
Furthermore, Zhang assured that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will continue to enhance its combat readiness and capabilities to counter any attempts at "Taiwan independence" and foreign interference. The PLA is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region.
As tensions remain high, all eyes are on the Taiwan Strait and the broader implications for regional security. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story! 🌏⚔️
