on the afternoon of september 26, the ministry of national defense held a regular press conference, and colonel zhang xiaogang, deputy director of the information bureau of the ministry of national defense and spokesman of the ministry of national defense, answered questions from reporters.
reporter: according to reports, the first f-16v purchased by taiwan from the united states is expected to be delivered by the end of september. 26 u.s. drone manufacturers have come to taiwan. the director of the taipei office of the american institute in taiwan recently said that the possibility of joint production of weapons between the united states and taiwan in the future cannot be ruled out. however, some media have revealed that a large number of moldy bulletproof vests and expired ammunition were found in the weapons aided by the united states to taiwan. what is your comment on this?
zhang xiaogang: we firmly oppose any form of official exchanges and military contacts between the united states and the taiwan region of china. the biggest threat to peace and stability in the taiwan strait today is the separatist activities of "taiwan independence" and the connivance and support of external forces. it is worth pointing out that whether the us sells arms to taiwan or carries out so-called joint production of weapons, it is by no means for "protecting taiwan", but to treat the dpp authorities as a "sucker" and taiwan as a "cash machine", dumping expired and obsolete stockpiles of weapons to taiwan, and fattening its own military-industrial complex. we warn the dpp authorities that "chess pieces" will eventually be "abandoned pieces", and that those who cater to the us side to bring disaster to taiwan will not escape the severe punishment of history and law. the people's liberation army will take all necessary measures to resolutely thwart any separatist plots of "taiwan independence" and interference by external forces.
