[global times-global network reporter xu tong suo yanqi] the 11th beijing xiangshan forum was held at the beijing international convention center from september 12 to 14. on the morning of the 12th, beijing time, lieutenant general he lei, former vice president of the academy of military sciences, said in an interview that the united states should not have any illusions or flukes on the taiwan issue.

"if there is a misjudgment between china and the united states on the taiwan issue, the responsibility lies entirely with the united states. the united states should not interfere in china's internal affairs, and should not stir up trouble. it often sells weapons to taiwan and sends officials to taiwan, sending taiwan some wrong signals, and even condones and supports differences between taiwan and the mainland," said he lei. "our chinese people's liberation army has always been determined to defend the country's sovereignty, security, unity and development interests with firm determination, strong will, powerful capabilities and effective means. the united states must have a clear understanding of this."

"the united states should not have any illusions or any fluke mentality in this regard, otherwise it will not get a good result." he lei continued, saying that china's attitude has always been to strive for a peaceful resolution of the taiwan issue with the greatest sincerity and patience, but it does not rule out the use of other means to deal with the interference of external forces and the separatist actions of a very small number of "taiwan independence" elements, rather than targeting the vast number of compatriots in taiwan.

according to reports, this year's beijing xiangshan forum is themed "building peace, sharing the future" and will feature four plenary sessions, eight parallel group meetings, six academic seminars, as well as special academic activities such as high-end interviews, dialogues between chinese and foreign celebrities, dialogues between young military officers and scholars, and the "shanghai cooperation organization+" youth think tank salon.

this forum has more than 500 representatives from official delegations of more than 100 countries and international organizations, as well as more than 200 chinese and foreign experts and scholars. among them, official delegations including more than 30 defense ministers and military chiefs, as well as the vice chairman of the international committee of the red cross, the secretary-general of the asia information confidence building measures in asia, the deputy secretary-general of the shanghai cooperation organization, and representatives of international and regional organizations such as nato and the european union will attend the meeting. in addition, there are more than 30 former politicians and dozens of well-known scholars among the guests. leaders of military and defense departments from all over the world, heads of international organizations and think tanks, and well-known experts and scholars in related fields at home and abroad will exchange and discuss hot topics in the fields of security and defense.
