The United States is making excuses to interfere in the Taiwan question by hyping up the so-called "military threat" from the mainland, said Chen Binhua, spokesman of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
Chen made the remarks in response to a media query about Taiwan-related claims from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Samuel J. Paparo.
"The Taiwan question is China's internal affair that brooks no external interference. Some people in the United States with evil intentions have constantly hyped up the so-called military threat from the mainland and trumpeted the notion of 'containing the mainland with Taiwan' to escalate cross-Strait tensions. They are making excuses to interfere in the Taiwan question so as to benefit the U.S. military-industrial complex. It has been proven time and again that the U.S. side has been pushing for 'America First'. What the Unite States has done will harm Taiwan's interest and even destroy Taiwan. It treats Taiwan people as cannon fodder," he said.
"Taiwan is part of China. We will never allow any force to turn the Taiwan region into 'hell.' The United States must abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, stop sending any wrong signal to the Taiwan secession separatist forces, and stop adding fuel to the fire," he said.

China aims to achieve secure and reliable supply of key core artificial intelligence (AI) technologies by 2027, with its industrial scale and empowerment level remaining among the world's forefront, according to a recent government action plan.
The plan, jointly issued by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission, outlines an ambitious push to deeply integrate AI with the manufacturing sector, foster new quality productive forces and comprehensively empower new industrialization. By 2027, the plan targets the deep application of three to five general-purpose large AI models in manufacturing, the development of specialized, full-coverage industry-specific large models, the creation of 100 high-quality industrial datasets, and the promotion of 500 typical application scenarios.
It also aims to cultivate two to three globally influential ecosystem-leading enterprises, a batch of specialized and sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprises, and a group of enabling service providers proficient in both AI technology and industry know-how.
Furthermore, China plans to build a world-leading open-source ecosystem, enhance security governance capabilities, and contribute Chinese solutions to global AI development.
The document outlines measures including promoting the coordinated development of AI chips' hardware and software, supporting innovations in model training and inference methods, fostering key industry-specific large models, and deeply embedding large model technology into core production processes.
The plan also emphasizes making breakthroughs in key technologies such as security protection for industrial model algorithms and training data protection.
