[Reporter Tu Jumin/Taipei Report] The Chinese People's Liberation Army has continuously sent military planes to cross the central line of the Taiwan Strait, arousing concern from all walks of life.

Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng replied to a legislator's question in the Legislative Yuan today, saying that the CCP unilaterally believes that "there is no central line in the Taiwan Strait", but this is related to the training airspace of the national army. Therefore, the national army defends the central line and sovereignty, and will never give in, let alone allow the CCP to occupy space in Taiwan.

The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan invited the Ministry of National Defense to report on a special case today. Jiang Qichen, a legislator of the Kuomintang, asked that North Korea recently sent 180 military aircraft to intimidate, and South Korea also sent F-35 fighter jets and other military aircraft to respond. In the Taiwan Strait, the CCP currently does not recognize Taiwan. The central line of the strait, if the co-planar continues to advance after flying to the central line of the Taiwan Strait, how should the Ministry of National Defense respond?

And is the national army standby squad enough?

Qiu Guozheng replied that the CCP unilaterally believes that there is no central line in the Taiwan Strait, but this is related to the training airspace of the national army. Therefore, the national army defends the central line and sovereignty, and will never give in, let alone allow the CCP to occupy space in Taiwan.

He has stated many times to the outside world that the current is the most severe moment for cross-strait relations, but the national army will not be caught alone, and there are relevant countermeasures, but it is inconvenient to publicly explain the details.

When questioned by DPP legislator Wang Dingyu, he also pointed out that the US Department of Defense recently established a new working team of the "Tiger Team" to simplify the process and accelerate the sale of the most advanced and sophisticated arms to foreign allies and partners. Negotiating in Taiwan?

Qiu Guozheng said that he is happy to see any country helping Taiwan, and the exchanges between Taiwan and the United States have never stopped, but the Tigers did not come to Taiwan to negotiate.

National army officials said that Taiwan sent personnel to the United States to negotiate.
