Earlier, the spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense Wu Qian, responded to the transport plane of the US military when it landed in Taiwan on July 15 that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.

Any foreign ship and aircraft trespassing into our airspace will cause serious consequences.
Taiwan media reported on the 19th that the C130 military aircraft that took off from Manila, Philippines, did not have obvious US military paint.

According to previous reports by Taiwan Provincial media, on the morning of the 15th of this month, a US military C-146A administrative aircraft flew from Okinawa to Taipei Songshan Airport , and took off and left. It is rumored that the special plane mission is to deliver the "paragraph" to the American Association for In Taiwan (AIT).
Regarding the brief stop of the US C-146A administrative aircraft, the Ministry of National Defense immediately responded. Wu Qian announced in the form of a "speaking" that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Any foreign military aircraft landing in our territory must be approved by the government of the People's Republic of China. Any foreign ship and aircraft trespassing into our airspace will cause serious consequences.
Wu Qian also said that we warn the US to never play with fire, stop taking risks and provocative actions immediately, and not to send false signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, and avoid intensifying dangerous and tense situations in the Taiwan Strait. We warn the DPP authorities not to misjudgment the situation, lead wolves into the house, take risks, and collude with external forces to seek "independence" provocations, which will only lead Taiwan to a dangerous situation. China must be unified, and it must be unified. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The People's Liberation Army of China maintains a high alert and will take all necessary measures to resolutely crush any "Taiwan independence" plot.
