Taiwan's military exercise will only jeopardize well-being of its residents

A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday spoke out against Taiwan's recent military exercise, noting that it would only further undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and jeopardize the safety and well-being of the people of Taiwan.

Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a media query on the exercise, which began on Wednesday involving more participants and will last longer than previous exercises.

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have stubbornly clung to their "Taiwan independence" separatist stance and repeatedly squandered public resources, recklessly tying the people of Taiwan to the "'Taiwan independence' war chariot," Chen said.

Regardless of how many "drills" the DPP authorities carry out, they cannot alter the inevitable failure of "Taiwan independence," nor can they stand in the way of the historical trend of national reunification, the spokesperson said.
