In a recent statement, a spokesperson from the Chinese mainland issued a stern warning to Taiwan authorities, cautioning them against miscalculations in the current tense situation. 🛑
Highlighting Taiwan's upcoming Han Kuang 41 military exercise, it was noted that the duration of the live-fire phase would be significantly extended, with plans to mobilize up to 3,000 reserve troops, spurred by the U.S. side. 🇺🇸
Wu Qian, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, criticized the DPP authorities for what he described as an illusion of \"soliciting U.S. support for independence\" and attempts to \"resist unification by force.\" 🗣️
He emphasized, \"Holding back the tide with a broom will only end up in self-destruction. We will come and get you, sooner or later.\" This strong language underscores the heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait. 🌊
Wu also reaffirmed that the Taiwan question is an internal affair for China, rejecting any external interference. He accused the U.S. of trying to contain China through its involvement with Taiwan, labeling these actions as risky and provocative. 📈
Despite the firm stance, Wu expressed a desire for peaceful reunification, stating, \"We will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and utmost effort.\" However, he made it clear that China does not renounce the use of force against what he termed 'Taiwan secessionist' forces and external interference. ⚖️
Concluding his remarks, Wu warned that any push for \"Taiwan secession\" would be met with swift and strong countermeasures from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. 🛡️
