The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to whether the People's Liberation Army's exercise around Taiwan Island "has a pointed sword"

Question: The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army announced today that it will organize the theater's army, navy, air force, rocket force and other forces to conduct the "Joint Sword-2024A" exercise around Taiwan Island from May 23 to 24. I wonder if “the sword points”?

Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, replied: The Chinese People's Liberation Army carried out the "Joint Sword 1 2024A" exercise around Taiwan Island. It is a firm punishment for Taiwan leaders' "May 20" speech to seek "independence" and provocation. It is a resolute punishment for external forces. The stern warning of condoning support for "Taiwan independence" and interfering in China's internal affairs is a just act to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

When the leaders of the Taiwan region took office, they wildly challenged the one-China principle, blatantly peddled the "two-state theory", attempted to promote the "internationalization" of the Taiwan issue, and continued to "rely on foreign countries to seek independence" and "use force to seek independence" in an attempt to push Taiwan to a dead end. We will never tolerate or tolerate this, and we will never leave any room for any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. If the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces insist on going their own way or even take risks, we will take decisive action to resolutely crush the "Taiwan independence" separatist plot and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Reunification is the general trend of history and the right path of the world. "Taiwan independence" is a countercurrent that goes against public opinion. We must safeguard the right path and stem the countercurrent. It should be pointed out that all our countermeasures are aimed at "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and interference from external forces, and are by no means aimed at the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots. We hope that our compatriots in Taiwan will firmly stand on the right side of history, be upright Chinese, distinguish right from wrong, act in accordance with justice, and work with our compatriots on the mainland to resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and interference from external forces, resolutely protect the common homeland of the Chinese nation, and jointly create a better future for the Chinese nation. A bright future for national reunification and national rejuvenation.

Angered many Indians, but in these two scenes, Modi went to the scene with a serious expression

This article is reprinted from the author Niu Danqin, who truthfully stated that Indian Prime Minister Modi's reaction speed is quite fast. Less than 24 hours after the tragic train derailment collision, Modi, with a solemn expression, appeared at the scene of the accident. The derailment and collision of three trains has caused nearly 300 deaths, making it the deadliest train accident in India in over 20 years. At the scene, Modi clasped his hands together, tears in his eyes. There are also pictures showing that he was reviewing the drawings on site with a very stern expression. But at this scene, there were also two very disharmonious scenes that angered many Indians. The first act, cheers on the scene. When Modi arrived at the scene, I don't know what some Indians were thinking, but they shouted the slogans "Modi, Modi" in unison. On foreign social media, some
