The Chinese People’s Liberation Army frequently entered the air defense identification zone in southwest Taiwan on the 23rd and 24th last weekend. On 24 Taipei time, the US State Department called on Beijing to stop using military, diplomatic and economic means to exert pressure on Taiwan and to enter into meaningful dialogue with Taiwan. “Provocations of independence.

Zhu Fenglian reiterated that Taiwan is part of China. Adherence to the one-China principle is the political basis for the development of cross-strait relations. For the past four years or so, DPP authorities have refused to recognize the “Consensus of 92” which embodies the one-China principle, interfered with cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and linked external forces to seek provocations of “independence”. the root cause of the current complexity of cross-strait relations.

Zhu Fenglian noted that the key to maintaining communication and dialogue and promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations from 2008 to 2016 is for both sides to adhere to the “1992 Consensus” and oppose the “independence of Taiwan. “. Only when the DPP authorities recognize the “92 Consensus” and stop seeking “independence” provocations can cross-strait relations be improved and developed, and there will be peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. There is no other way.

As for the United States, Zhu Fenglian said that the Taiwan issue concerns the central interests of China and the national sentiments of the Chinese people, and it is the most important and sensitive central issue in Sino-US relations. Mainland China hopes that the US government will abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three joint Sino-US communiqués and handle the Taiwan issue prudently and appropriately.

Furthermore, in response to the fact that the mainland People’s Liberation Army Air Force dispatched 13 military aircraft on the 23rd and 15 military aircraft on the 24th, frequently appearing in the Southwest Taiwan Air Defense Identification Zone, Zhu Fenglian said the mainland has repeatedly stated that the PLA will carry out actual combat exercises in the Taiwan Strait.

Zhu Fenglian reiterated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. Since the creation of the Taiwan problem due to civil war in the late 1940s, mainland China’s will and determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity has been steadfast and has never changed. To effectively deal with the interference of external forces and the small number of separatists from the “independence of Taiwan” and their separatist actions, the mainland does not promise to abandon the use of force and reserves the option to take all measures. This point will not change at any time.

Zhu Fenglian stated that over a period of time, the DPP authorities and the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have continually changed their tactics to pursue “independence” provocations, trying in vain to divide the country and undermine the peaceful development of cross-strait relationships. Seriously damaging the vital interests of compatriots on both sides of the Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.

“The PLA organizes actual combat exercises in the Taiwan Strait region to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and solemnly warns external forces to stop interfering, and solemnly warns separatist forces of Taiwan’s independence stop the provocations. ” Zhu Fenglian said, “Only in this.” In this way we can maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Only by safeguarding the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Strait can we safeguard the prospect of peaceful reunification across the Straits. “

However, the CCP military aircraft intensively conducts actual combat training in the Taiwan Strait. Although it warns the forces of “Taiwan independence”, will it also increase the tension in the Taiwan Strait and even provoke the occurrence of gunfire?

In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said that it depends on the degree to which the DPP authorities and the “Taiwan independence” forces seek the provocation of “independence”.
