CCTV News: On the afternoon of April 9, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, released a message on recent military issues.
A reporter asked that it was reported that the foreign ministers of the G7 countries and the senior EU representatives issued a statement on the PLA's joint exercises and training around Taiwan in early April, saying that China's "provocative" behavior has exacerbated cross-strait tensions and opposes any unilateral action that threatens peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. What is the spokesperson’s comment?
Zhang Xiaogang said that relevant countries and organizations blatantly violate the one-China principle and roughly interfere in China's internal affairs. We are strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed. The Eastern Theater Command organized joint exercises around Taiwan, using thunder to combat the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is precisely a firm protection for the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and the security and well-being of Taiwan compatriots.
The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affairs, and no external interference is allowed in how to resolve the Taiwan issue. The People's Liberation Army has been training and preparing for war, fighting "independence" and promoting unification, and resolutely crushing the separatist and foreign interference schemes of "Taiwan independence".
