台军兵推纳入大陆对台“灰色地带袭扰”“由演转战”等，以模拟应对解放军各种“潜在手段”，国防部：无论怎么推都逃不脱死局
On the afternoon of April 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, where Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, answered reporters' questions.
Reporter: I have two questions. The first question is, according to reports, the Taiwan military's "Han Guang No. 42" wargame started on April 11 and lasted for 14 days. This wargame for the first time included intelligence units in the exercise group, incorporating mainland China's "gray zone harassment," "transition from exercise to combat," and "weapons and equipment invading Taiwan," to simulate responses to various "potential means" of the People's Liberation Army. What is your comment on this?
The second question is, according to reports, Taiwan is renovating the Dongsha Islands' dock and plans to deploy new frigates capable of carrying anti-ship missiles and an "island defense system," turning it into a forward base against the mainland. What is your comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang: Regarding the first question, the "Taiwan independence" armed forces perform this "show" every year, but no matter how they push, they cannot escape a deadlock. The vast number of Taiwanese compatriots should recognize the extreme danger and harm of "Taiwan independence" separatism and should not be deceived by its coercion. Indulging and supporting "Taiwan independence" will only turn oneself and one's family into cannon fodder.
Regarding the second question, I warn the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that there is no way out in confrontation. If they dare to act rashly, they will face a thunderous counterattack.
