[Taiwan’s defense department invites the United States to observe so-called exercises Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Trying to "rely on foreign countries to seek independence" is a dead end.] On October 28, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on the 28th. A reporter asked: According to reports, Taiwan's defense department confirmed that it has budgeted more than NT$80 million to invite American personnel to Taiwan this year and next to observe the so-called "Han Kuang Exercise." Public opinion on the island criticized the DPP authorities for crying out for the people's poverty and being generous to outsiders, "paying people to watch the show." What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua said that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and does not tolerate any external interference. The DPP authorities squander the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people in an attempt to "use force to seek independence" and "rely on foreign countries to seek independence." This is a miscalculation and a dead end. (CCTV News)
