In response to William Lai’s planned “Transit” of Hawaii during his visit in late November or early December, Wu Qian, director of the Defense Department’s Information Bureau and a spokesman for the Department of Defense, said on the afternoon of November 28 that, we firmly oppose any country’s official exchanges with the Taiwan region of China in any form. The one-china principle is the basic norm of international relations and the universal consensus of the international community. The DPP authorities’ actions of political manipulation and”Independence” provocation are futile and can not block the historical trend of China’s inevitable reunification. We urge the US to abide by the one-china principle and Three Communiqués, not send any wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” forces, and take concrete actions to safeguard china-us relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The People’s Liberation Army, shouldering the sacred mission of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, will resolutely defeat all separatist attempts for “Taiwan independence” and resolutely defeat all interference by external forces.
