China warns Taiwan independence is 'doomed to fail' amid massive military drills: Video
China, on Tuesday, April 1, declared that attempts to pursue Taiwan independence are “doomed to fail” while carrying out large-scale military exercises around Taiwan.
“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is solely an internal affair of China, and no outside forces are allowed to interfere,” foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said during a regular press briefing.
Beijing reiterated its firm opposition to any push for the island’s independence and criticised Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), accusing it of pursuing independence with foreign support.
“The Democratic Progressive Party administration stubbornly insisted on Taiwan's independence, and its vain attempt to separate the country for foreign independence was to stand in the way and was bound to fail,” he said.
“China will eventually be unified, and the historical trend of unification will surely be unstoppable,” Guo added.
