On June 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. The Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Tan Kefei, answered reporters' questions.

Tan Kefei said at the meeting that China is warning the United States that any attempt to "use Taiwan to control China" and help Taiwan to "reject reunification by force" is futile.

  At the meeting, a reporter asked: According to reports, the US and Taiwan recently held the so-called annual "national security dialogue" and the military security conference "Monterrey Dialogue" to discuss the US providing weapons and other military support to Taiwan to help Taiwan improve its "asymmetric warfare" capabilities. It is also planned to strengthen cooperation on the same stage through the "National Partnership Program" of the US National Guard.

Any comments on this please?

  Tan Kefei pointed out that the Taiwan issue has always been the most important and sensitive core issue in Sino-US relations.

President Biden made a clear promise to the Chinese side that he "does not support 'Taiwan independence'", but the US side's actions run counter to its statement. This is a connivance of support for the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

The Chinese side is warning the US side that any attempt to "use Taiwan to control China" and help Taiwan to "reject reunification with force" is futile.

China urges the US to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, stop arms sales to Taiwan and military collusion between the US and Taiwan, and stop any form of official exchanges and military contacts with Taiwan.

China will continue to take firm and effective measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
