台称解放军直升机过所谓“台海中线”长时间活动，国防部：天经地义
On July 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, where Major General Jiang Bin, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, answered reporters' questions.
A reporter from The Paper asked about the statement from Taiwan's defense department, which claimed that on the 20th, a PLA helicopter and a drone crossed the so-called "median line" of the Taiwan Strait for the first time and conducted activities in the relevant area for more than nine hours. Some analysts on the island suggested that this action by the PLA is likely a "new form of coordinated combat training" and a "battlefield pre-set exercise." What is your comment on this?
Jiang Bin stated that Taiwan is a part of China, and there is no such thing as a "median line" in the Taiwan Strait. The PLA's activities in the relevant maritime and airspace are completely justified. The so-called restricted flight zone established by the "Taiwan independence" armed forces is merely a show of bravado and holds no significance.
