Ministry of National Defense: PLA continues to advance reunification by combating separatism without stopping.

On the afternoon of December 25th, the Ministry of National Defense held its regular press conference, and Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters. Reporter: According to reports, the Taiwan "National Security Bureau" recently stated that the number of PLA military aircraft circling Taiwan this year has reached nearly 3,600 sorties, setting a new record. PLA military aircraft and ships have carried out 39 "joint combat readiness patrols." Taiwan's defense department has said that they have established contingency plans for mainland military actions and are prepared for a PLA assault. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Zhang Xiaogang: Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. The PLA conducts routine training and preparations for war in the waters around Taiwan, organizes actions to counter separatism and interference, and defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is completely legitimate and necessary. The PLA will not stop its efforts to promote reunification and will continue to press forward with each provocation by Taiwan separatists, until the complete reunification of our motherland is achieved. We warn the DPP authorities to recognize reality, follow the trend, completely abandon their "Taiwan independence" separatist agenda, and stop all provocative actions that could lead to conflict; this is the only correct and realistic choice.
