Taiwan's Defense Department Wants to "Preemptively Strike" the PLA? Ministry of National Defense Responds
On the afternoon of February 10, Colonel Jiang Bin, Deputy Director of the Ministry of National Defense News Bureau and spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, released information regarding recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, the Taiwanese military plans to deploy the "HIMARS" system to Penghu and Dongyin, with a strike range that can cover the PLA positions in Fujian and Zhejiang. Taiwanese scholars have revealed that the defense department proposed a concept of "preemptive strike" against the PLA. What is your comment on this?
Jiang Bin: From the deployment of weapons to the initiation of so-called "preemptive strikes," the ideas of "Taiwan independence" elements are becoming increasingly absurd and unrealistic. In the face of the powerful capabilities of the PLA, if the "Taiwan independence" armed forces dare to provoke conflict, they will face catastrophic consequences.
