Rare signals! Foreign media have noticed unusual information! Foreign media stated that China's statement on Taiwan has become more resolute! On August 1, according to the Straits Times, foreign media reported that Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun, in his speech at the reception commemorating the anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, directly mentioned Taiwan for the first time, and the expression regarding Taiwan has become more firm. Foreign media noted that in last year's speech at the anniversary reception, our defense minister did not directly mention Taiwan, but this time it is quite different.
Our defense minister clearly stated this time that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Taiwan and the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations. In a little over a month, the People's Liberation Army will appear in the form of a peace army, a just army, and a mighty army, and be inspected. We will never allow any "Taiwan independence" separatist plot to succeed, and we are always ready to thwart any external military interference at any time. For the complete unification of the motherland, the Chinese People's Liberation Army is always prepared!
Evidently, from not mentioning "Taiwan independence" to directly mentioning it, this subtle change undoubtedly reflects that our country's judgment on cross-strait relations and the international situation is changing. Undoubtedly, the military's statement this time is more direct and more targeted. What does this indicate? This at least indicates two points. First, this indicates that the actions of Lai Ching-te and the "Taiwan independence" forces are becoming increasingly provocative and dangerous, and our change in the peaceful tone means that the use of force is increasingly becoming an option for us to resolve the issue.
Secondly, this also indicates that we are increasingly confident about resolving the Taiwan issue. Our military stated that they are ready to thwart any external military interference at any time, and the People's Liberation Army will appear in the form of a mighty army and be inspected. This indicates that the situation in the Taiwan Strait is entirely under control, and we have sufficient confidence and composure to resolve the Taiwan issue. What does this mean for "Taiwan independence" elements? It means that we are becoming increasingly intolerant of the "Taiwan independence" separatist acts. Obviously, the breakthrough moment in the cross-strait situation may be approaching soon.
