During a legislative questioning session, Taiwan's Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng mentioned the exercise of self-defense rights against any unauthorized entry into the nation's 12-nautical mile airspace, leading to a rebuttal from Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang, stating Taiwan is part of China and has no self-defense rights. Zhang warned that Taiwan's opposition to the People's Liberation Army is counterproductive, emphasizing the swift downfall for those who resist. Responding to US President Biden's comments on potential military intervention in a Taiwan Strait conflict, Zhang stressed that Taiwan is China's issue and urged against foreign interference. He cautioned against Taiwan independence as a path to war and called for the US to honor its commitment against supporting Taiwanese independence to avoid escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
