In a bold show of force, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) vowed this Thursday to crush any "Taiwan independence" moves and fend off outside interference with even greater firepower and reliability. 🔥
Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Chinese mainland's Ministry of National Defense, was responding to reports of a recent defense industry meeting between the United States and Taiwan authorities. The meeting reportedly covered joint weapons development, production plans, and U.S. arms sales to the island.
"No matter how many weapons Taiwan authorities acquire, the cross-Strait balance of military strength will remain unchanged," Zhang said, warning that the quest for "Taiwan independence" is destined to fail. ⚖️
He also accused the DPP authorities of cozying up to the United States and sacrificing Taiwan interests for political gain. "We urge the U.S. to fully recognize the high sensitivity of arms sales to Taiwan and honor its pledge not to support 'Taiwan independence,'" Zhang added.
As tensions simmer in the Taiwan Strait, all eyes are on how the U.S. and Taiwan will respond to these latest warnings—and what it means for regional stability. 🌏
