Ministry of National Defense: The Democratic Progressive Party authorities were willing to be "pawns" and ended up being "discarded pieces".

The Ministry of National Defense held a routine press conference, and the Ministry of National Defense spokesperson, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, answered questions from reporters. When asked about the attendance of over 400 people, including active duty and retired military personnel, from the US in the "Han Guang 41" exercise, the spokesperson commented that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and does not allow any foreign interference. We firmly oppose any form of military collusion between the US and Taiwan. We also warn the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that being willing to be a "pawn" will ultimately become a "discarded piece," and attempts to "rely on the US for independence" and "resist reunification with force" are doomed to fail.
