According to a report by the Global Times on November 11, the US military newspaper "The Stars and Stripes" recently published an article that refutes the irresponsible reports of the US media. Recently, some US media reported that the US Marine Corps had landed in Taiwan; many Taiwanese and Japanese media quoted news from Taiwan’s defense department and claimed that the US Marine Corps had arrived in Taiwan on November 9th and carried out an attack on Taiwan’s Marine Corps. Training, the training content mainly includes assault boats and speedboat infiltration operations. If the news released by the US media is true, then this is the first time since 1970 that Taiwan and the US have admitted to conducting military training activities.

However, things turned around on November 11. US Pentagon spokesperson John Thorper issued a statement saying that any news about the U.S. Marine Corps landing in Taiwan and conducting training activities is "inaccurate." "The United States supports the one-China policy." The Stars and Stripes stated that this policy recognizes China's sovereignty over Taiwan. Z1z
Pentagon spokesperson also stated in this statement that relevant US actions have been in compliance with the "Taiwan Relations Act," based on Taiwan's defense needs, which have been maintained for more than 40 years. Regarding the issue of US-Taiwan arms sales, the spokesperson of the Department of Defense, Colonel Wu Qian, has already said that the issue of US arms sales to Taiwan is illegal.

The relationship between the two countries. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Pentagon
, also responded to the incident at the regular press conference that day. Zhu Fenglian said that any military ties and official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan are not recognized and are illegal. The DPP has privately linked up with the United States. It is very dangerous to use force to "independence". We hereby solemnly warn the "Taiwan independence forces" not to wishful thinking and bring disaster to the people of Taiwan.

Regarding the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, China has implemented measures to impose sanctions on a number of US arms giants. Boeing, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin are all on the list, and China is moving quickly. , This shows that we have zero tolerance for the issue of US-Taiwan exchanges. If China cannot tolerate sand in its eyes on the issue of US-Taiwan arms sales, it cannot tolerate the US Marine Corps training in Taiwan. Therefore, the Pentagonal Continent's statement is also extinguishing the fire, because they know that the news has been confirmed, and the consequences will not be able to bear the United States.
