Reference News Network, March 18 report (text by Ma Hanyan) On the morning of March 18, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. A journalist asked, "If the United States continues to fight in the Middle East, will the Chinese mainland take the opportunity to take action against Taiwan?" Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense, Corby, said that they are closely monitoring the reactions of other potential rivals, and this military operation demonstrates the strength that has a deterrent effect. What is your comment on this?
Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesperson Chen Binghua responded that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, concerning China's core interests and the national sentiment of the Chinese people, and it is not allowed any external interference. Anyone, any force should not underestimate our strong determination, firm will, and powerful capability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
