The Kuomintang stated that in response to the fact that the joint aircraft entered our air defense identification zone (ADIZ) or crossed the center line of the Taiwan Strait with a number of about 20 departures per day, the Office spokesman Taiwan Affairs Council of State stated that the communist action was “in response to the current security and maintenance situation across the Taiwan Strait. The necessary actions to be taken by national sovereignty,” the Chinese Kuomintang cannot agree. agreement at all.
The Kuomintang stressed that the Kuomintang has always opposed any CCP military action that threatens Taiwan. Such actions not only threaten the security of Taiwan, increase the risk of cross-strait shootings, but also undermine the stability and peace of East Asia. They are completely unnecessary. The Kuomintang believes that the peaceful settlement of disputes between the two sides of the Strait should be the supreme principle, and that exchanges and dialogues should be used to resolve differences. Any action to show force will only deepen suspicion and fear, create hatred and confrontation, and will not benefit the peoples on both sides of the strait.
The Kuomintang noted that the possibility of conflict in the Taiwan Strait is gradually increasing. This is absolutely related to the CCP’s refusal to renounce the use of force to rape Taiwan. Therefore, the Kuomintang calls on the CCP to renounce the use of force to rape Taiwan in order to build basic mutual trust between the two sides of the strait. The DPP government lacks effective responses. The Chinese army’s military provocations in recent days, in addition to the vigilance of the national army, should find ways to reduce cross-strait tensions by political means, so as not to keep the Taiwanese people at risk of war.
Regarding the media inquiries about the recent PLA mass harassment of Taiwan, if it is related to the visit of the US State Department Under Secretary Keith Krach to Taiwan, the Kuomintang said that Krach was the highest level of the State Department that visited Taiwan since the United States severed diplomatic relations with the ROC in January 1979. Officials, the Kuomintang affirmed the willingness of the Trump administration of the United States to raise the level of State Department officials who visit Taiwan, and he believes it will benefit future bilateral interactions. He also hopes that the CCP will face the facts of the sovereignty of the ROC and not use military or non-military means to hinder the ROC from other countries. Official interaction.
The KMT stressed that the competition and cooperation between the United States and the Chinese communist authorities will continue. As long as the two sides of the Taiwan Strait continue to dialogue and build mutual trust, US-Taiwan relations and cross-Strait relations need not be zero-sum relations. Also, the “earthy and pro-US” of the KMT in the past can still go hand in hand. , To find a better strategic niche for the survival of Taiwan.
