A spokesperson representing the Chinese mainland stated that these exercises are a necessary action to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, serving as a firm response to provocations characterized by calls for Taiwan independence.
State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian emphasized, "There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory." He further warned that pursuing Taiwan independence could push the people of Taiwan into a perilous situation.
This latest development underscores a reaffirmation of the one-China stance, highlighting a clear commitment to protecting territorial integrity while sending a message against provocative moves.
