When questioned about the ongoing military maneuvers around Taiwan, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office emphasized its determination to take all essential steps to firmly protect the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while simultaneously ensuring the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits. The office was clear on its stance against the alliance of separatist forces and international players aiming at independence, stating it will not adopt a passive approach regarding these alliances. Their commitment is firm—they won’t allow these separatist endeavors with foreign backers to proceed unchecked.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday that mainland China has launched what is considered the largest naval deployment in the Taiwan Strait and Western Pacific regions in decades. This has not gone unnoticed by Taiwan, who has promptly sounded alarms, vowing to stand firm against any threats. Since Monday, the entire nation has been on heightened alert, keenly watching the developments unfold.
Both sides are adamant about employing whatever measures they deem necessary to uphold their respective positions.
