The Chinese military keeps its word. The joint military exercises and training activities around the Taiwan island is a serious deterrent against collusion between the U.S. and Taiwan, Tan Kefei, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, said in a statement on Thursday.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan betrays the U.S. promise on opposing "Taiwan Independence" and seriously breaks the China-U.S. relation, Tan said, adding that the visit poses threats on the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.

China warns the U.S. and Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party that the U.S.-Taiwan collusion will only bring disaster to the Taiwan region and endangers Taiwan people, Tan said. The complete reunification of China is an unstoppable historical trend and China will defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, leaving no place for any "Taiwan Independence" actions or external interference, he added.

The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army conducted long-range live-fire shooting training in the Taiwan Strait on Thursday.
