Original title: From Syria! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense jointly recommended a foreign military doctor who studied in China
[环球时报记者 郭媛丹]On the 28th, the Ministry of National Defense held its first regular press conference since early 2021. At the meeting, the spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, issued a stern warning to the elements of “Taiwan independence. “: if if you play with fire, you must set fire. “Taiwan independence” means war. In addition to the issues on the Taiwan Strait, Wu Qian also responded to media concerns on issues such as Sino-US military cooperation and international military cooperation against the epidemic.
Strait of Taiwan, Strait of Taiwan, Strait of Taiwan
In the recent period, PLA military aircraft have intensively conducted actual combat training in the Taiwan Strait and frequently appeared in Taiwan’s so-called “Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone”. In this regard, Wu Qian said that the military activities of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait are necessary actions to address the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and safeguard sovereignty and national security, and are a response solemn to external interference and provocations by the forces of “Taiwan independence”.
Wu Qian said that in the long history of the Chinese nation, the “independence” activities of a small group of “Taiwan independence” separatists are like a bubble. How many waves can they afford? We warn those elements of “Taiwan independence”: people who play fire will burn, and “Taiwan independence” means war. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army will take all necessary measures to resolutely defeat any form of separatist conspiracy for “Taiwan independence” and will firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Presenting the key tasks of military training for the entire army in 2021, Wu Qian said that military training should focus on training troops for battle. Implement the requirements of being ready to fight at all times and be able to fight at any time, focusing on responding to real security threats, focusing on emergency response training, organizing non-salute combat readiness extraction inspections and exploring the transition from training to combat training without personnel, equipment and materials, and without conversion of combat readiness levels.
It should be noted that on January 23 and 24, the PLA sent a total of 28 military aircraft of various types to southwestern Taiwan airspace for training. This is also the PLA’s largest aerial training activity in the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait this year. . Analysis believes that deploying a large team of fighters, bombers and anti-submarine aircraft in this exercise is an offensive strategy.
The latest development and deployment of new equipment of the People’s Liberation Army has always been the subject of greatest concern at the regular meetings of the Ministry of National Defense. In response to whether J-20 fighters have been deployed on a large scale, Wu Qian said that the development of complex aviation platforms has its objective laws and requires a process from first flight to the formation of combat capability. It has been 10 years since the Chinese Air Force’s J-20 aircraft first flight on January 11, 2011. The combat capability has been gradually tested and the troops have begun to deploy.
Disclosure of Sino-US Military Cooperation at the Beginning of the New Year
After Biden takes over as president of the United States, how will the military relations between China and the United States develop? At the press conference, Wu Qian presented the newly concluded cooperation between the Chinese and American armies: From January 26 to 27, the two armies held a working video conference on the search for the remains of American prisoners of war and missing persons to discuss cases. Of concern to the United States and the deep cooperation between the two armies The exchange of views shows that China attaches great importance to the concerns of the United States in the humanitarian field.
In contrast, during the Trump era, the Sino-US military cooperation plan was thwarted. On December 16, 2020, the United States-Indo-Pacific headquarters accused the People’s Liberation Army of refusing to participate in a video meeting of the Maritime Military Security Consultation Mechanism between the United States and China scheduled to take place from 14 to December 16 of that year. . Subsequently, the press spokesman for the Chinese Navy, Colonel Liu Wensheng, said that the relevant US statements were completely confusing and backwards. The reason the meeting did not take place as scheduled was that the United States did not comply with the consensus of the two. parties and responsibility rests entirely with the United States.
Wu Qian told the press conference that during the Trump administration, China-US relations have encountered serious difficulties, and the relations between the two armies also face many risks and challenges. The facts have shown that it is an impossible task to contain China, in the end, it will only shoot itself in the foot.
Who are the foreign soldiers recommended by the two spokesmen?
On the 28th, two spokesmen for the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wu Qian and Hua Chunying, “jointly” recommended a foreign military doctor. When Wu Qian presented the PLA’s active international cooperation in fighting the epidemic, he told the story of this Syrian military doctor named Tariq. In 2018, Tariq came to the China Army Military Medical University to study clinical medicine. After completing his studies in 2020, he returned to Syria and served as deputy director of the Department of Immunization and Rheumatology at the Damascus Military Hospital. After the outbreak of the new corona epidemic, the department of Tariq was primarily responsible for the diagnosis and isolation of patients with new corona pneumonia. Tariq translated the knowledge on epidemic prevention and control learned in China into Arabic and provided it to hospitals, helped improve the diagnosis and treatment mechanism, used the experience in Chinese medicine treatment to carry out prevention work and epidemic control and used social media to spread the Chinese language. knowledge of medicine prevention, etc., and achieved a good effect of results.
On the afternoon of the 28th, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, reposted the content posted by Wu Qian on Twitter. According to the “Global Times” reporter, this is the first time that the spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense “interact together” to promote a foreign military friend, and the meaning behind this is exactly like Wu Qian He said: “The history of Tariq is the Chinese military. A microcosm of international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic. We will continue to take practical action to assume international responsibilities and obligations, and actively contribute to building a community with a future for humanity. “.
