BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese military spokesperson Wednesday said the "salami slicing" attempts made by the United States to undermine China's sovereignty are a "sheer pipe dream."
Wu Qian, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks at a press conference in response to a question about the recent frequent interactions between the United States and China's Taiwan.
Noting that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and Taiwan affairs are purely China's internal affairs that brook no external interference, Wu said the Chinese People's Liberation Army has been on high alert, and has the firm resolve, full confidence and sufficient capabilities to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
