China’s military has released a video showing the test firing of ten missiles. The video says that China’s Eastern Theater Command is “ready for war.” Analysts say that the video is a warning to Taiwan, which China claims.
In response to the video, Premier Su Tseng-chang said that each of the ten missiles was purchased with the Chinese people’s money. He said that the Chinese government should not waste money on destabilizing regional peace, but focus instead on taking care of its people.
Su said that Taiwan’s government stands ready to protect the country, no matter how its opponents try to undermine its defenses.
