Jiang Bin: Achieving complete reunification of the motherland is an inevitable trend, a matter of righteousness, and the will of the people. We will continue to strengthen our training and preparedness, and with more powerful capabilities and richer means, we will resolutely strike against "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and oppose external interference. If the "Taiwan independence" armed forces choose to resist stubbornly, they will only face a dead end.
