China expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to a US statement claiming the PLA’s intensified military drills in the Taiwan Straits have damaged regional peace and stability, said Tan Kefei, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense on Friday, noting that the PLA will maintain a high alert and is ready to fight any time.

The PLA will resolutely defeat all external interference and “Taiwan independence” separatist acts, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Tan said, noting that the US statement severely distorted the facts and confused white with black.
