INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated on Monday that Chinese military drills in the Taiwan Straits are a resolute reaction
to foreign connivance and assistance to Taiwan independence, and a severe caution to Taiwan separatist forces.Mao stated Chinas military
actions are necessary, legal, and justified measures to protect nationwide sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.She made the
remarks during a daily press briefing in action to a media inquiry
According to reports, the Chinese military conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Straits on Monday
It is thought that the drills were associated with current modifications on the United States State Departments website relating to Taiwan
policy, as well as the actions of Taiwan independence forces.Mao said that the United States has recently taken a series of wrong actions
in regard to the Taiwan question
In particular, the United States erased the actual expression that showed the one-China concept which did not support Taiwan independence
on the site of the United States Department of State, which indicates incorrect signals to Taiwan separatist forces.Mao restated that the
Taiwan concern is at the core of Chinas core interests, and the one-China concept is the basic basis of China-United States relations
Mishandling of the Taiwan concern will shake the extremely structure of China-United States relations, Mao said, including that separatism
for Taiwan self-reliance is as incompatible with peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits as fire with water, and that including China
with the Taiwan question will just result in self-harm
The spokesperson advised the United States to satisfy dedications made by past United States administrations on the Taiwan concern, stop
intriguing actions that cross red lines, and handle Taiwan-related concerns with higher care to avoid causing further severe damage to peace
and stability in the Taiwan Straits and to China-United States relations.
