China has started its two-day exercise near Taiwan's maritime border and air space. Taiwan has expressed strong opposition to China for conducting maneuvers near its border area. Taiwan's Foreign Ministry has said in its statement that China should control itself and should not try to alter Taiwan's border. Apart from this, it has also been said in the statement that Taiwan will not come under the pressure of China and no attempt should be made to disturb the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.
China has said about its military exercise that these exercises are a strong punishment for the separatist activities of Taiwan independence forces and a strong warning against interference and provocation by external forces. Through this exercise, China is trying to send a strong signal domestically and internationally. Because Taiwan's new President Sashi Lai had given many warnings to China in his first speech.
Taiwan Foreign Ministry responded
Taiwan's Foreign Ministry said that maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the consensus of the international community. The international community is keeping an eye on China's exercises taking place on the Taiwan Strait. China is repeatedly threatening Taiwan's democracy and unilaterally undermining Taiwan Sea and Indo-Pacific peace and stability. Taiwan is committed to maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait and calls on China to control itself.
The Foreign Ministry reiterated that Taiwan will continue to adhere to the belief in democracy and will not change due to coercion and suppression.
President Lai had threatened China
Taiwan's President Lai said during his speech, dear countrymen, we have the ideal of maintaining peace, but we should not be confused. It should be understood that even if we accept all the claims of China and give up our sovereignty, China's greed to capture Taiwan will not end.
