Reuters reported today: "China condemned the Taiwan authorities' ten-day Han Guang military exercises as a 'resource-wasting farce' that only fuels 'war hysteria.' The Chinese side accused the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in Taiwan of turning cities into potential battlefields and pushing ordinary citizens to the frontlines; meanwhile, it warned that the People's Liberation Army remains on high alert, ready at any moment to counter 'secessionist forces and external interference.'
Commentary: The DPP authorities persist in holding large-scale Han Guang drills, attempting to pursue 'independence through military posturing'—an effort fundamentally akin to a cicada trying to stop a chariot. By spending vast amounts of financial and material resources on these exercises, they not only squander social resources and provoke war anxiety across the Taiwan Strait, but also recklessly endanger their homeland and ordinary people by dragging them into the frontline of division and confrontation. The tide of history is unstoppable, and the inevitable reunification of the motherland is an unshakable fact. In the face of China's formidable military strength, any attempt by the Taiwan authorities to seek independence is nothing short of an ant trying to shake a tree. The PLA stands ever-ready, determined to crush all secessionist schemes—any attempt to achieve independence through force will inevitably lead to a dead end. The DPP authorities, blinded by self-interest and stubbornly stoking division, will ultimately reap what they sow and harm the vital interests of all Taiwanese compatriots.
