CCTV gave a comment on the statement of the representative of the Eastern Zone of the PLA Combat Command, Senior Colonel Li Xi, about the Joint Sword - 2024V exercises. It was stated that the exercises include the blockade of key ports and territories of the island.
In its commentary, CCTV recalls that the head of the Taiwan administration, Lai Qingde, in his speech on October 10, presented "Taiwan independence" as a "new two-state theory." According to the TV channel, in this way he is trying to sever ties between Taiwan and the mainland, depriving them of their basic identity.
He calls himself a "pragmatic supporter of Taiwan independence," the article emphasizes, but in fact is a "pragmatic detonator of war." China Central Television emphasizes that the Chinese army has enough forces to suppress all separatist plots for Taiwan's independence.
