Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense. The Defense Ministry spokesman said on Thursday that CN China is concerned about and strongly opposes US military collusion and has lodged serious representations with the United States. Recent actions by the US have seriously infringed on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and have had a serious impact on relations between the two countries and their militaries, senior Colonel Tan Kefei, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, and has had a serious impact on the relations between the two countries.
He made comments in response to US provocations, including the 2022 Taiwan Policy Act, which was approved by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as well as the passage of US and Canadian warships through the Taiwan Straits.
Tan pointed out that some US figures have engaged in provocation in violation of international law, the basic norms of international relations, the one-China principle, and the three Chinese-US joint communiques for a long time.
They have broken serious political commitments on the Taiwan question, pushed a strategy of containing China through the use of Taiwan repeatedly hollowed out the one-China principle and incited and supported Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities to intensify confrontation across the Straits, he said. The Taiwan question is an internal Chinese affair and bears on China's core interests. He said that the US side should stop military collusion with DPP authorities in Taiwan and take resolute countermeasures against US wrongdoings related to Taiwan. The senior colonel refuted a report by the island's defense authority that claimed the mainland seriously threatened the island's security and peace and stability over the Straits, saying it was extremely irresponsible to hype a mainland military threat as it confused right and wrong and escalated tensions and confrontation between the two sides.
The People's Liberation Army's military exercises around Taiwan are a legitimate and necessary response to persistent provocations by 'Taiwan independence forces, Tan said. They were just actions to protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The DPP authorities distorted and denied the 1992 Consensus and repeatedly sought independence with external forces, which is the root cause of the current tension, the spokesman said, as long as the DPP authorities and the Taiwan independence separatist forces continue to pursue independence by force, China's military countermeasures would continue.
