US media claim that China is building naval and air military facilities, preparing for a conflict in the Taiwan Strait! On September 6, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, US media stated that China is vigorously constructing infrastructure along the eastern coast, including naval and air force bases. Satellite images and other open-source materials report that the types of facilities being built by China along the eastern coast are diverse, not only a large new amphibious warfare base, but also airports built at a cost of billions of dollars.
US media said all of this is to coordinate with China's only military operational plan, which is the scenario targeting Taiwan. How do we view this report from the US media? It may be true that China is building various types of infrastructure along the coast, including naval and air force bases. But to say that China is preparing for a conflict in Taiwan is obviously very inaccurate. The argument of the US media seems to imply that we have a timetable for unifying Taiwan by force, which is certainly wrong.
Regarding the resolution of the Taiwan issue, we of course need to be prepared in all aspects. We make these preparations for two reasons: first, to prevent "Taiwan independence" activists on the island from going desperate and carrying out activities that split the country. Second, we want to send a deterrent message that we absolutely will not allow any external forces to interfere in our internal affairs. Military force is the greatest guarantee for resolving the Taiwan issue. We are very clear that without military force as a foundation, the possibility of peaceful reunification is zero.
