Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun has confirmed that the PLA is fully prepared to pursue national reunification. Speaking at a major reception in Beijing, he stressed that the military stands ready to counter any separatist attempts to push "Taiwan independence" and block any external military interference. 💪
The event marked the 98th anniversary of the founding of the PLA and commemorated several historical milestones, including the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration, and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. These commemorations resonate deeply with a generation that values heritage and bold steps towards progress.
Looking ahead, a grand military parade is scheduled for September 3 in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. This parade will not only celebrate past victories but also showcase the PLA's strength, commitment to peace, and readiness to cooperate with international counterparts in building a world of lasting peace, universal security, and shared prosperity.
This dynamic blend of historical pride and forward-looking ambition makes for an inspiring chapter in national affairs, especially for young people eager to understand global and Asian trends.
