Military exercises expose Lai's lies

Island leader's attempts to rewrite history demonstrate his disregard for the people

Editor's note: The Taiwan question is a key focus for China and the international community. China Daily is publishing a series of reports to track hot Taiwan-related topics and address disinformation from the Democratic Progressive Party administration.

Despite Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party's attempts to enhance military readiness, it cannot withstand the People's Liberation Army's capabilities of countering "Taiwan independence" separatists, nor can it stop the inevitable reunification of the motherland, officials and experts said.

The island's Han Kuang 41 military exercise concluded last week, with DPP authorities claiming it had a historically high number of participants. However, it exposed the DPP authorities' mindset of using the people of Taiwan as cannon fodder, they said, highlighting the outdated equipment and lack of competence among the island's armed forces.
