China News Service, March 24. According to the "Ministry of Defense released" WeChat public account, on March 24, the director of the Ministry of National Defense Information Bureau and the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, answered reporters' questions about the situation in Ukraine.
Q: According to reports, since the Ukraine crisis, the DPP authorities have attempted to link the Ukraine issue with the Taiwan issue, hyping up the possibility that the mainland may use the situation in Ukraine to intensify its so-called "military pressure" on Taiwan, incite "anti-China protection of Taiwan", and strengthen Prepare for combat training to improve armament and defense capabilities.
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?
A: 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.
The bottom line is that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs, allowing no outside interference.
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.
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 one 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" and "exist", deliberately exaggerate the so-called "threat" of the mainland, raise the tone of confrontation and "independence" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even arrogantly advocate war.
Such vain attempts to "rely on foreign countries to seek independence" and "use force to seek independence" are harming Taiwan and will only push Taiwan into the abyss of disaster.
China safeguards its own sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is only natural that no outside interference is allowed.
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 failure.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army stands ready to take all necessary measures to resolutely retaliate against any provocative actions that endanger China's core interests and undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
