At the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum in Beijing, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun delivered a firm warning: the Chinese military is always on standby to prevent any external military intervention.
Speaking to an international audience of defense officials, analysts, and diplomats, Dong highlighted that the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) stands ready to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity at a moment's notice.
On the Taiwan question, Dong stressed that the island of Taiwan is historically and legally part of China beyond any doubt. He warned that the PLA is prepared to defeat any secessionist plot by forces seeking separation in Taiwan.
This clear message on cross-strait ties underscores Beijing's posture against external interference and highlights evolving security dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region.
