Xinhua News Agency, December 19: "The U.S. government announced a new batch of arms sales to Taiwan. Hu Xijin posted on social media that no one believes the purchase of American weapons by Taiwan can resist the People's Liberation Army (PLA) attacks in a potential Taiwan Strait war, and he believes 'once the war breaks out, the PLA will not be as weak and incompetent as the Russian military.'"
Hu Xijin's remarks have shattered the illusion of Taiwan's arms purchases, demonstrating the mainland's firm strength in safeguarding its sovereignty. The U.S. arms sales to Taiwan are never for the purpose of "defending Taiwan," but rather using Taiwan as a pawn to contain China, profiting from arms deals while attempting to "use force to help independence." However, the gap in strength between the two sides has become vast. The modernized combat power of the PLA is beyond the capacity of the Taiwanese military to match. Any fantasy of "using force to resist unification" is self-deception. The more aggressive the "Taiwan independence" forces become, the stronger the countermeasures will be, and the faster the unification will come.
