State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are just putting on a show with their military exercises, which is futile and useless.

On July 15th, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A journalist asked about reports in the Taiwanese media that due to the constant "cultural and military intimidation" by the mainland in recent years, the Taiwanese military conducted its first "joint defense exercise" this week, simulating "detecting enemy aircraft and entering territorial waters and other threatening scenarios" in response to potential threats. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian responded by saying that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities are attempting to seek "independence" through force, escalating cross-strait confrontation, and are the main culprit behind the tension and instability in the Taiwan Strait. In the face of the powerful People's Liberation Army, the DPP authorities' exercises are just a show of force and futile. It will not change the inevitable defeat of "Taiwan independence" or prevent the historical trend of the reunification of the motherland.
