On August 27, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to US media reports, more than 500 Taiwanese soldiers participated in the US military's "Northern Strike" exercise this year, and for the first time, they changed the simulated combat scenario from Europe to the "Indo-Pacific" region. What is your comment on this?
Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that we firmly oppose any form of military ties between the United States and Taiwan. We urge the US to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, handle the Taiwan issue carefully, and stop sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. The DPP authorities are trying to "rely rely on external affairs to seek independence" and "resist the unification with force", which is completely overestimating their own abilities and seeking a way out.
