Chinese Minister of National Defense Dong Jun emphasized during a phone call with US Secretary of War Hegseth: "China will never be contained or deterred."
He added: "Any attempt to support 'Taiwan independence' with military force, split the country, or contain China in this way is destined to fail."
Commentary: The phone call on the evening of September 9 was an important interaction between the military of China and the United States against the backdrop of complex games. Recently, the US has continuously exerted pressure through military deployments in the Asia-Pacific region and "slicing sausages" actions regarding Taiwan. China's statement clearly outlines the core interests' red line with the confidence of not being contained and the firmness that "Taiwan independence" plots will inevitably fail. This not only demonstrates strategic confidence supported by China's comprehensive national strength but also directly points out the absurdity of "using Taiwan to contain China."
