Deputy Chief of International Affairs, Defense Ministry of China

China vehemently opposes the United States' decision to provide military assistance to Taiwan and calls for an immediate halt to any military interactions with the island, as stated by a spokesperson from the Defense Ministry.

Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense.

Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, speaking from Beijing, expressed that the planned military aid from the US represents a significant interference in China's internal affairs. This action poses a grave threat to China's sovereignty, security, and overall peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

"We firmly denounce this move and have formally conveyed our objections to the US government," Tan emphasized.

The spokesperson underlined that the Taiwan issue is of utmost importance to China, representing a red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations. Tan further criticized certain elements within the US for perpetuating a hegemonic and Cold War mindset, engaging in harmful actions such as arms sales, military assistance, and joint training with Taiwan.

China urgently calls upon the US to desist from any form of military collaboration with Taiwan and to refrain from advancing along a misguided and perilous path.

"The historical momentum towards China's reunification cannot be halted by any single country or external force. The People's Liberation Army remains vigilant and watchful over the situation in the Taiwan Strait, ensuring that our national sovereignty and territorial integrity are resolutely protected. We are firmly committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region," Tan asserted.

The White House recently announced its intention to provide Taiwan with military assistance amounting to $345 million.

Continue the red gene and strive to build a world-class army

 Ma Jianguang, Yang Yang/People's Daily Online-News of the Communist Party of China

At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that "The People's Army has established immortal merits for the party and the people. It is a strong pillar to defend the red country and the dignity of the nation, and it is also a powerful force to safeguard regional and world peace." It once again called on "to build the people's army into a world-class army, and to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means."

For 94 years, the People’s Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China has bravely devoted itself to the historical torrent of seeking liberation and happiness for the Chinese people, and seeking independence and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Now we must keep up with the development of the party and the people's cause, grow in battle, innovate in inheritance, develop in construction, comprehensively promote the modernization of national defense and the military, and provide strong strategic support for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.

The great historical contribution of the People's Army

When talking about the great historical merits of the People's Army, Xi Jinping pointed out that "The People's Army has gone through the smoke and fire, overcoming obstacles and making great sacrifices, and achieving one after another glorious victories." This is not only the affirmation and praise of the great achievements made by the people's army by the party's core, army commander, and people's leaders, but also a profound summary of the historic contributions that the people's army has made to the party and the country.

The heroic people's army is the backbone of the armed revolutionary struggle. Under the absolute leadership of the party, the People’s Army went on to succeed and forgot to die. With invincible heroism, perseverance, revolutionary perseverance, flexible strategies and tactics, and brave and tenacious fighting style, the People’s Army captured the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Anti-Japanese War, The great victory of the War of Liberation, armed revolution against armed counter-revolution, overthrowing the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, laid a solid foundation for the establishment of a new China where the people are the masters with blood and lives, and completely reversed it. The passive situation that the Chinese nation has been backward and beaten in modern times has provided a strong backing for the consolidation of the new people's power, the establishment of China's status as a major power, and the maintenance of the dignity of the Chinese nation.

The heroic people's army is a strong backing for the socialist revolution and construction. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the People’s Army continued to fully perform the functions of defending the motherland and the people’s peaceful labor, resolutely safeguarding national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, successfully carried out the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and multiple border self-defense operations, and actively carried out land-sea border rights defense struggles, determined Unswervingly safeguarding national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity provides a strong backing for the consolidation of the new people’s power, the formation of China’s status as a major power, and the maintenance of the dignity of the Chinese nation.

The heroic people's army is the power support for safeguarding national interests and world peace. At present, the global governance system and the Asia-Pacific strategic pattern have undergone profound changes, and emerging countries represented by China have begun to play a vital role in the international power system. The People’s Army resolutely combats all forms of separatism and sabotage, actively participates in foreign military exchanges and cooperation and United Nations peacekeeping operations, to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, to maintain an important period of strategic opportunities for my country’s development, and to maintain regional and world peace. Powerful support.

Inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the People's Army

In long-term practice, the people's army has advanced under the banner of the party, formed a set of principles for building and governing the army, developed strategies and tactics for the people's war, and cultivated a unique glorious tradition and fine style of work. This is the heirloom of the people's army from victory to victory, and it is the red bloodline that the people's army must never forget.

Adhere to the fundamental principle of the party's absolute leadership over the army and the fundamental purpose of the people's army. The fundamental principle and system of the party's absolute leadership over the military originated in the Nanchang Uprising, based on the Sanwan Reorganization, and finalized at the Gutian Conference. It is the political feature and fundamental advantage of the People's Army that is completely different from all old military forces. The real people's army is determined to listen to and follow the party, rise even more amidst setbacks, move forward courageously amidst hardships, and create an invincible and invincible steel master. On the way forward, the People’s Army must always uphold the party’s absolute leadership over the army, and at all times and under any circumstances will take the party’s banner as the banner, the party’s direction as the direction, and the party’s will as the will.

Persist in all construction and work focusing on being able to win the battle. Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that it is necessary to overcome the need for a strong army to be able to fight and win battles, and to insist on focusing on being able to win battles in all construction and work. This important instruction reflects the fundamental functions of the army and the fundamental orientation of army building, and clarifies the core traction role of being able to win battles in strengthening and rejuvenating the army. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, a set of principles for army building was established. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the army was streamlined and the administration was streamlined. During the Liberation War, five field armies were formed. After the founding of New China, the system was adjusted many times. This is an important measure to reform and innovate the military to enhance combat effectiveness in different historical periods. From the "16-character formula" during the Red Army period to the "protracted war" during the War of Resistance against Japan, from the "ten military principles" during the War of Liberation, to the "null knitting sugar" during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, to the founding of New China Continuous adjustment of post-military strategic policy. The People's Army has continuously reformed and innovated, and has continuously gained vitality for development and progress.

Persist in winning the people and uniting people's hearts with a good style of work. Style building is a long-term strategic task. It cannot be hoped to be completed in one task, nor can it be intermittent and loose. Only with perseverance and perseverance of determination can we purify the body and ranks of the party. As Xi Jinping pointed out, the greatness of the Chinese Communist Party does not lie in not making mistakes, but in never shying away from diseases, daring to face problems directly, being brave in self-revolution, and having a strong ability to repair itself. "Strict order can only be used to suppress the military, and the most important thing is to rectify the discipline." Our army is the people's army under the absolute leadership of the party. The style and atmosphere of the army is not only related to the political nature of the people's army, but also related to whether the army can fight or not. Win the battle. An army that dares to fight and wins must be an army with a strong style.

Fully promote the construction of a world-class military

Standing at a new historical starting point, we feel more deeply that the Chinese nation’s emergence from suffering and the Chinese people’s liberation depend on a heroic people’s army; the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation and a better life for the Chinese people must speed up The People's Army has been built into a world-class army. At present, the situation at home and abroad is undergoing profound and complex changes. my country's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities. The prospects are very bright and the challenges are also very serious. We must not forget our original intentions, continue to advance, unswervingly follow the path of strengthening the army with Chinese characteristics, and continue to advance the cause of strengthening the army.

Unswervingly uphold the party's absolute leadership over the army and ensure that the people's army will always follow the party. Xi Jinping pointed out: “Persist in the party’s command of guns and building its own people’s army is an unbreakable truth drawn by the party in the struggle of blood and fire.” It is necessary to uphold the party’s absolute leadership over the army, strengthen the party’s innovative theoretical arms, and be aware of it. Form work to ensure that the troops are absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely reliable, and will always be the loyal guards of the party and the people. It is necessary to implement the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, do a good job in the study and education of party history in combination with the actual situation, highlight the study of party history, comprehend ideas, do practical things, and create new situations, and educate and guide officers and soldiers to keep in mind the original mission, inherit the red gene, and take on the important task of strengthening the army.

Forge ahead and persist in building an innovative people's army, and lead the reform and development of the army with the idea of ​​strengthening the army in the new era. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the party’s thinking on strengthening the army in the new era, implement the military strategic policy of the new era, adhere to the political building of the army, the reform to strengthen the army, the science and technology to strengthen the army, the talent to strengthen the army, and the rule of law to comprehensively improve the defense of national sovereignty, security, and development interests. The strategic ability to better fulfill the mission and tasks of the people’s army in the new era.

Always adhere to the only fundamental standard of combat effectiveness, and forge a strong force of elite soldiers who come when they are called, who can fight when they come, and who must win in battle. The army is prepared to fight, and all work must adhere to the standard of combat effectiveness and focus on being able to fight and win battles. It is necessary to make solid preparations for military struggles in various strategic directions, coordinate and advance preparations for military struggles in the traditional and new security fields, develop new combat forces and support forces, carry out actual combat military training, strengthen the use of military forces, and accelerate the development of military intelligence. Improve joint combat capabilities and global combat capabilities based on the network information system, effectively shape the situation, manage crises, contain wars, and win wars.

Answer: The capital markets of China and the United States, as important markets in the world, are increasingly closely related to each other.

The regulatory authorities of the two countries should continue to uphold the spirit of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, strengthen communication on the supervision of China's concept stocks, find proper solutions, and create a good policy expectation and institutional environment for the market.

We have always been open to companies choosing where to go public, and support companies to choose international and domestic markets in compliance with laws and regulations. No matter where an enterprise is listed, it should comply with the relevant laws, regulations and regulatory requirements of the place of listing and operation. At present, the Chinese competent authorities conduct standardized management of relevant industries with the aim of coordinating development and safety, and promoting the sustainable and healthy development of market entities. In the process of formulating and implementing the system, the China Securities Regulatory Commission will communicate closely with relevant departments to further coordinate the relationship between investors, enterprises, and regulators, and further improve the transparency and predictability of policy measures.

China's basic national policy of advancing reform and opening up is unswerving, and the intensity of financial opening to the outside world will continue to increase. In the next step, we will continue to introduce more pragmatic opening-up measures to promote the high-quality development of China's capital market.

Since the beginning of this year, China's economy has continued to recover steadily, with stability and improvement, a large number of outstanding enterprises have flourished, and the number of high-quality investment targets in the capital market has continued to increase. As long as the listed company's operating conditions are good, the quality is high, and the ecology is constantly improving, it will naturally be favored by investors. Our judgment on the prospects of China's capital market is predictable and sustainable and healthy development.
