The military activities carried out by the People's Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait are necessary actions taken to address the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and the need to safeguard national sovereignty and security, and are a solemn response to external interference and provocations by "Taiwan independence" forces.

The People's Liberation Army of China will take all necessary measures to resolutely thwart any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist plots and firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
