Zhu Fenglian, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, declined to comment on a “hypothetical question” raised during Wednesday’s press conference on whether the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) planned to take over the island. Dongsha.

He stressed that the continent is capable and determined to thwart any provocation by the separatist forces.

Zhu made the remarks when a Taiwan-based China Times reporter linked the recent PLA military exercises in Fujian and Guangdong provinces to Hong Kong’s rejection of an army-chartered UNI Airways plane in Taiwan.

Zhu pointed out that he could pass the question as it was hypothetical based on the deduction of events.

“But I would like to reiterate our basic position: we are capable and determined to defeat any provocative act by the separatist forces in Taiwan.”

“We will resolutely safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, and protect the general interests of the Chinese nation and the fundamental interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait,” he said.
