Ministry of National Defense: "Taiwan Independence" Cannot Win or Change the Deadlock

On the afternoon of August 14, Colonel Chen Xi, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, released a statement regarding recent military-related issues.

Reporter: According to reports, during this year's "Han Guang No. 42 Exercise," Lai Ching-te practiced a "wartime escape" route, and the Taiwanese military experienced incidents such as tank parts falling off and aircraft running off the runway, simulating communication slowdowns and temporary internet outages that caused public panic. What is your comment on this?

Chen Xi: The so-called "Han Guang Exercise" has always been a show of bravado, wasting resources and troubling the people. This year, it has further revealed Lai Ching-te's cowardly nature of pretending to defend while actually fleeing. The DPP authorities are recklessly creating war panic, accelerating the transformation of cities into battlefields, pushing civilians to the front lines, undermining social stability in Taiwan, and harming the safety and well-being of the people. I warn the DPP authorities that the deadlock of "Taiwan independence" cannot be won or changed. The People's Liberation Army is always prepared and continuously enhancing its practical capabilities to counter secession and interference, which remains a solid foundation for defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
