Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun stated that the Chinese military is prepared to achieve complete reunification with China. He vowed to take decisive action to prevent any separatist movements seeking "Taiwan independence" and to counter any military intervention from external forces.
These statements were made during a significant reception hosted by the Ministry of National Defense in Beijing. The event commemorated the 98th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), an occasion observed on August 1st.
This year holds special significance, marking the 80th anniversary of several key events. These include the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the restoration of Taiwan, and the founding of the United Nations.
A military parade will be held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on September 3rd to celebrate the anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The parade aims to showcase the PLA's commitment to peace, justice, and military strength.
Furthermore, Dong Jun expressed the Chinese military's willingness to collaborate with global counterparts. The goal is to contribute to a shared future for humanity, support major global initiatives, address global risks, and build a world characterized by lasting peace, universal security, shared prosperity, openness, inclusivity, and environmental sustainability.

The PLA should focus on its own people, not on trying to claim what isn't theirs.

The mention of 'external forces' is a thinly veiled warning to the West. Very concerning.
