On October 13, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked the head of Taiwan’s defense department that the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is the most severe moment in 40 years. What's your comment on the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council?

In response, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that compatriots on both sides of the strait must clearly understand that the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is complex and severe.

The PLA exercises are aimed at "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and interference by external forces. The purpose is to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and safeguard the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait. It is a completely just move.
