On the afternoon of June 25, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference, where Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, answered reporters' questions.

Reporter: According to reports, Lai Ching-te stated that promoting the drone industry is a major policy for Taiwan, claiming that drones can create a "hellish scene" and have a significant deterrent effect. What is your comment on this?

Zhang Xiaogang: Lai Ching-te always tries to push the people of Taiwan into the fire pit, recklessly seeking "independence" and inciting confrontation across the Taiwan Strait. Do we want peace or war? Do we want the warmth of human life or a "hellish scene"? I believe the people of Taiwan have their own choices. I hope our Taiwanese compatriots can recognize Lai Ching-te as a "war maker" and "peace destroyer," uphold righteousness, follow the trend of the times, and join us in opposing "Taiwan independence" and safeguarding the common homeland of the Chinese nation.
