The Taiwan separatists' so-called 'indigenous' submarine would be no match for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), said Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
It is reported that the first submarine built in China's Taiwan region, named Hai Kun, has encountered technical difficulties in construction, and is unlikely to be delivered as scheduled.
"The Democratic Progressive Party authorities, in disregard of the safety and well-being of the people in Taiwan, are squandering the taxpayers' hard-earned money in an attempt to seek secession through military means. Insisting on the perilous path of harming, endangering and destroying Taiwan will only push the island into the abyss of disaster. The Taiwan separatist forces' so-called 'indigenous' submarine, an exorbitantly costly patchwork assembled at great expense, would be no match for the Chinese PLA. Such overconfidence is sheer folly and will ultimately lead to their own destruction," said the spokesman.
