On the afternoon of July 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Ministry of National Defense spokesman Colonel Jiang Bin answered questions from reporters. Reporter: According to reports, according to data released by Taiwan's defense department, as of 2025, more than 4,000 Taiwanese military volunteers would rather pay high penalties and leave the military early. The total compensation amount was as high as NT$920 million, and the maximum penalty for a single person exceeded NT$20 million. Any comments on this please? Jiang Bin: This is no longer news. The more the DPP administration shouted “national defense,” the more “no one is fighting for their lives,” because more and more Taiwanese people have clearly seen the nature of the DPP administration's plot to “independence” and cause harm to Taiwan's people, and are more brave enough to say no to “Taiwan independence.” The compatriots on both sides of the Strait are linked by blood and destiny. They should work together to adhere to the cause of the nation, resolutely oppose “Taiwan independence” division, jointly maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, and create a better future for national reunification and national rejuvenation.
