Ministry of Defense: The PLA's Means of Anti-Separation and Anti-Interference Are Becoming Increasingly Diverse
On the afternoon of April 9, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, released a statement regarding recent military-related issues.
Reporter: Recently, the world's largest cargo drone, the "Zhangying-8," successfully made its maiden flight. Public opinion on the island suggests that this could become a new "anti-aircraft carrier weapon" for the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Additionally, there is widespread attention on the PLA's achievements in building unmanned combat systems, which is believed to enhance its capability to deter and strike against "Taiwan independence." What is your comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang: Taiwan is China's Taiwan. No one values and maintains peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait more than we do, but we will never allow anyone, any force, to separate Taiwan from China in any way. The PLA's means of countering secession and interference will become increasingly diverse, resolutely shattering the delusions of "Taiwan independence" and defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On April 9, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced enhancements to its anti-secession capabilities, particularly regarding Taiwan. The Changying-8 drone successfully completed its first flight, which is seen as a potential new tool against aircraft carriers. The PLA reiterated its commitment to preventing any attempts at Taiwan's independence and maintaining national sovereignty.
