China News Agency, Beijing, March 24. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said in Beijing on the 24th that Taiwan is not Ukraine, and the Taiwan issue is fundamentally different from the Ukraine issue.
We warn the DPP authorities and certain external forces that there is no way out for "relying on foreign countries to seek independence", and "using Taiwan to control China" is doomed to fail.
A reporter asked: According to reports, since the Ukrainian crisis broke out, the DPP authorities have attempted to link the Ukrainian issue with the Taiwan issue, hyping up the possibility that the mainland might use the situation in Ukraine to intensify the so-called "military pressure" against Taiwan and incite "anti-China protection of Taiwan". And strengthen preparation training, improve armament and defense combat capability.
Some US and Western politicians also took the opportunity to play up the mainland's "military threat" to Taiwan, clamoring to provide Taiwan with weapons to assist in "confrontation".
Does the spokesperson have any comments?
"First of all, it needs to be pointed out that Taiwan is not Ukraine, and the Taiwan issue is fundamentally different from the Ukraine issue." Wu Qian pointed out that the fundamental is that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs, and no outside interference is allowed.
The two sides of the Strait must be unified, and they are bound to be unified. This is the general trend of history, and no one or any force can stop it.
Wu Qian said that the DPP authorities have intensified their collusion with external forces, carried out provocations for "independence", and attempted to change the fact that both sides of the strait belong to the same China, which is the root cause of the current tension and turmoil in the Taiwan Strait.
They have recently used the situation in Ukraine to "sneak hot spots" and "exist", deliberately exaggerating the so-called "threat" of the mainland, raising the tone of confrontation and seeking "independence" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even arrogantly advocating war.
"This kind of vain attempt to 'rely on foreign countries to seek independence' and to use force to seek independence is harming Taiwan and will only push Taiwan into the abyss of disaster."
Wu Qian emphasized that China safeguards its own sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is only natural that any outside interference will not be tolerated.
"We warn the DPP authorities and certain external forces that there is no way out of 'cooperating with foreign countries to seek independence', and 'taking Taiwan to control China' is doomed to failure." The Chinese People's Liberation Army is ready to take all necessary measures to resolutely retaliate against any threats to China's core interests, A provocative act that undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
