CCTV Warns "First War Will Be Final” and Military Drills over Taiwan's Airspace. Tsai Ing-wen Says Threats are Meaningless and Has Confidence in National Security
Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou said in a public speech last Monday (10 Aug) that the People's Liberation Army’s (PLA) strategy for attacking Taiwan is that "the first war will be final", and that it will not allow Taiwan the chance to wait for the US’s military assistance. China's official media, China Central Television (CCTV), made the same statement in its straits commentary yesterday (18 August), claiming that PLA has the strength, confidence and determination to “enforce unification”, and warned that the PLA may perform military drills around the island and even over Taiwan's airspace. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen today responded that China's incessant military threats are "meaningless," stressing that Taiwan has been closely monitoring the situation and has full control over the military condition. She was confident that Taiwan could protect its national security and believed that the international community would not accept any actions that undermine regional peace and stability.
Following Ma's earlier remarks in a public speech that the PLA's strategy on Taiwan is that "the first war will be final," CCTV published a straits commentary yesterday (18 Aug) mentioning the same statement. Entitled "US-Taiwan Collusion and Provocations Will Face a Decisive Blow", the article stated that the PLA has the strength, confidence and determination to “enforce unification”, and when that happens, “the first war will be final”. It stated that Taiwan could not afford the consequences of war, and that even US interference would not save “Taiwan independence” from that. The commentary also accused Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party of “relying on the US for independence” and “using military force to resist unification”, claiming the more “arrogant” Taiwan assumes in these stances, the stronger the PLA’s counter responses will be, “Today’s drill is in the Taiwan Strait plus its northern and southern ends. For tomorrow, a bigger drill around the island or even over Taiwan's airspace is not out of the question either."

PRC’s Taiwan Affairs Office accused Tsai Ing-wen for spreading Taiwan Independence; Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council: Defaming Taiwan’s Democracy
On 28 October 2021, the Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) of the State Council responded to the CNN interview of Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, accusing her and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of spreading “Taiwan Independence” on various international arenas, once again exposing their stubborn attempts on “Taiwan Independence”. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council responded with a stern statement, saying that TAO is inciting confrontation by maliciously twisting the facts and defaming Taiwan’s freedom and democratic development.
The spokesperson of TAO Ma Xiaoguang criticized Tsai and DPP stubbornly promoting "Taiwan Independence”, deceiving international public opinion and covering “Taiwan Independence” under “Democracy and Freedom”. He further said ever since the DPP came to power, their incompetence in governance caused grievances among the general public, creating conflicts among ethics groups, deceiving the public and dividing Taiwan society, severely dividing the bloodline connection between Taiwanese, Chinese culture and Chinese, “seriously harming” the fundamental interest of all Taiwanese.

China's intensified crackdown on individuals promoting the independence of Taiwan is causing alarm. Recent reports reveal that China is now arresting anyone advocating for Taiwanese independence, even outside its borders. This aggressive approach highlights the extent to which China seeks to suppress any dissenting voices and undermine Taiwan's sovereignty. The international community must remain vigilant and stand up for the principles of freedom of expression and self-determination. #China #TaiwanIndependence #Crackdown #FreedomOfExpression #Sovereignty
