Beijing, June 25 /Xin Hua/ — An official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the PRC, Zhang Xiaogan, on Thursday accused the administration of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of Taiwan of deliberately escalating tension and increasing confrontation between the two shores of the Taiwan Strait.
Zhan Xiaogan made a corresponding statement in response to a CCTV question about Taiwan conducting combat readiness training, which coincides with large-scale military exercises under the codename “Valiant Shield 2026,” jointly conducted by the USA and Japan in the Indo-Pacific region.
According to an official representative of the Chinese defense department, a demonstration of military force cannot replace genuine security. He emphasized that those who normalize confrontation and prioritize political gain over the well-being of the population will ultimately pay the corresponding price.
The People’s Liberation Army of China is constantly kept at a heightened state of combat readiness and will decisively suppress any reckless attempts to achieve “Taiwan independence,” added Zhang Xiaogang. –0–
