[Reporter Yang Chengyu/Report from Taipei] A few days ago, the British media "Financial Times" reported that President Tsai Ing-wen will visit the United States at the end of March.

Will the Chinese People's Liberation Army take any action at that time?

Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng said in a joint interview with the Legislative Yuan on the morning of the 21st that the national army will not be worried, and that the main task is to prepare for combat every day.

The military is also paying close attention to whether there will be any major moves on the other side; if there are any moves, the national army will respond appropriately according to the usual drills and inspection methods.

Qiu Guozheng said that, in fact, regardless of whether the president is going to visit or not, the situation around our country is as known to all walks of life, and the national army is responding every day.

In the past, the outside world said that the national army did not declare to the outside world, and said that it had reservations, but now it has declared and announced it, just like usual.

The military also pays close attention to whether the opponent will make any major moves; if there is any move, it will respond appropriately in accordance with the previous usual drills and inspection methods.
