State Council of Taiwan Affairs: The military actions of the People's Liberation Army are a solemn warning, necessary and just.

On the morning of May 20, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference in the press room. Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian answered questions from reporters on recent cross-strait hot issues. One reporter asked: On the 19th, Zhuo Rongtai claimed that the PLA's military exercises are "the biggest source of regional insecurity and destabilization," and he hopes for "healthy and orderly exchanges and equal and dignified dialogue between the two sides." What is your comment on this? Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian stated that the DPP authorities persistently adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist position, collude with external forces to provoke "independence," and are the root cause of the disturbance and chaos in the Taiwan Strait. We will not tolerate or condone any "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. The relevant military actions of the PLA are a solemn warning to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence" and external interference forces, and it is a necessary and just act to defend the national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Based on the common political foundation of upholding the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence," we are willing to strengthen exchanges and dialogues with political parties, groups, and people from all walks of life in Taiwan, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, seek peace in the Taiwan Strait, seek welfare for compatriots, and seek rejuvenation for the nation.
