BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) A Chinese mainland spokesperson said on Wednesday that the drills conducted by the Chinese People s Liberation Army (PLA) in the Taiwan Strait are to safeguard the national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks while answering a question about concerns that whether the real combat-oriented drills by the PLA in the Taiwan Strait may accidentally lead to a conflict. This depends on how far the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority and Taiwan independence forces will go with their provocative acts, the spokesperson said.
