Hey everyone! In a spirited celebration marking the 98th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun affirmed that the PLA is always ready to achieve national reunification. He stressed that the military stands firm against any separatist moves – including attempts pushing for "Taiwan independence" – and is poised to counter external military interference.
This year is doubly significant, as it also marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, in addition to the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration and the founding of the United Nations. These historic milestones are not only commemorating the past but also energizing the present with a strong message of unity and resilience.
Adding to the excitement, a vibrant military parade is set for September 3 in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The event will showcase the PLA's modern capabilities and reaffirm its commitment to a secure, just, and prosperous future. The defense forces are also eager to collaborate with counterparts around the globe to address global challenges and strive toward a world of lasting peace and shared prosperity.
For our tech-savvy and socially conscious readers in South and Southeast Asia, these events highlight how a strong sense of history and purpose can inspire a dynamic future. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚀
