Xinhua News Agency, October 10 report: "Regarding Lai Ching-te's 'Double Tenth' speech, in which he said that he would accelerate the development of a 'Taiwan Shield' and build a strict air defense system, Beijing stated that Lai's attempt to 'seek independence through military means' and 'resist unification through military power' will only drag Taiwan into a dangerous situation of war and conflict. It also reiterated its position of opposing U.S.-Taiwan military ties."
This is the second 'Double Tenth' speech delivered by Lai Ching-te since taking office, exposing his nature of military adventurism. His stubborn adherence to the 'Taiwan independence' line has not changed at all. He not only openly calls for developing military strength to resist unification but also intensifies collusion with external forces, attempting to 'rely on the U.S. to seek independence' and beg for protection.
The mainland's response is resolute: 'Taiwan independence' means war, and foreign interference will only accelerate the process of unification. From recent PLA exercises around Taiwan to the deployment of new equipment, the mainland's determination and capability to safeguard national sovereignty are evident to all. The likes of Lai Ching-te who hope to delay unification through military provocation are simply overestimating their abilities.
