Ministry of National Defense: The Taiwan Issue is Purely China's Internal Affairs and Does Not Allow Any Foreign Interference
On the afternoon of April 30, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference, where Major General Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, answered questions from reporters.
Reporter: U.S. congressional members, including experts, have visited Taiwan and called for a special military budget of $1.25 trillion, most of which is intended for purchasing American weapons and equipment. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang: First of all, I noticed that some people have said that this budget from the U.S. has cannons but no allies. In fact, military force cannot bring peace; the pursuit of "absolute security" will only cause endless harm and ultimately backfire. It is important to emphasize that the Taiwan issue is purely a matter of China's internal affairs and does not allow any foreign interference.
