People like Lai Ching-te spend money recklessly, buying American-made weapons and accelerating the depletion of Taiwan's resources.

On the afternoon of February 28, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, issued a statement on recent military-related issues. Reporter: According to reports, Lai Ching-te recently called for the acceleration of the construction of asymmetric military capabilities, and advocated for the promotion of the purchase and related budget review of US military equipment to safeguard Taiwan's security and ensure peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. What is your comment on this? Zhang Xiaogang: Lai Ching-te and others are selfishly and extravagantly using the hard-earned money of the people to buy American-made weapons, which will only accelerate the depletion of Taiwan and put Taiwan in a dangerous situation, plunging the Taiwanese people into a disaster abyss. We warn the DPP authorities that their attempts to rely on foreign powers for independence are destined to fail, and their path of using force to resist reunification is a dead end. We hope that the vast majority of Taiwanese compatriots can truly recognize the extreme harm and destructive nature of "Taiwan independence" separatism, join us in resolutely opposing "Taiwan independence" separatism and foreign interference, and take practical actions to safeguard their own safety, well-being, and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
