Ministry of National Defense: "Taiwan independence" armed whistleblowing is purely self-deception.
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, the Taiwan defense department stated that mainland military aircraft entered the southwestern airspace of Taiwan and the western Pacific for "long-range operations at sea," and publicly released high-definition images of the PLA's WZ-10 drone flying around Taiwan, claiming to "maintain close monitoring and respond appropriately." What is your comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang: The "Taiwan independence" armed forces are merely deceiving themselves by making noise to bolster their courage. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, and the PLA's training activities around the island of Taiwan are reasonable, legal, and aboveboard.
