China News Service, October 27. According to the website of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference on the 27th. Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and Ministry of Defense spokesperson, Colonel Tan Kefei, said when answering a reporter's question that Taiwan is China's Taiwan.
Solving the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, and it is up to the Chinese to decide.
We urge the US side to stop playing with fire on the Taiwan issue.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always been a strong force defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and any attempt to obstruct China's complete reunification will fail.
A reporter asked at the meeting: According to reports, the "National Defense Authorization Act" for fiscal year 2023 under discussion in the US Senate may include part of the "2022 Taiwan Policy Act" passed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in September.
Does the spokesperson have any comments?
Tan Kefei said that the U.S. has recently been concocting Taiwan-related policy bills that undermine China's sovereignty, and has intensified its efforts to "use Taiwan to control China." In particular, some provisions are intended to strengthen U.S.-Taiwan military ties and support the so-called "self-defense" of Taiwan.
These actions seriously interfere in China's internal affairs, seriously violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, and seriously violate the US's serious political commitment to China on the Taiwan issue.
A country that knows well that a "family of divisions cannot last" and has used force to maintain unity, has repeatedly treachery and reckless behavior on issues involving the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of other countries. This is a typical "double standard". We firmly oppose it and have lodged solemn representations with the U.S. side.
Tan Kefei stressed that Taiwan is China's Taiwan.
Solving the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, and it is up to the Chinese to decide.
We urge the US side to stop playing with fire on the Taiwan issue.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always been a strong force defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and any attempt to obstruct China's complete reunification will fail.
