PATRIOT PARK, August 16. /TASS/. China s People s Liberation Army is not afraid of its enemies, and it is ready to fight for the country’s sovereignty amid attempts by the United States to undermine stability in the Asia-Pacific Region, China’s Defense Minister Wei Fenghe said on Tuesday. "US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent trip to Taiwan was a gross violation of China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It caused adverse effects on peace and stability in the region and in the Taiwan Strait," he said in a video message to the 10th Moscow Conference on International Security. "China cannot be tamed. We are not afraid of the forces of evil, as well as any enemies. We are determined and ready to fight with any enemy." Wei recalled that Taiwan was an integral part of China and Beijing considered all related issues as internal political problems in which no other country had the right to interfere. "Separatists advocating so-called Taiwan independence will certainly break their necks. Attempts at outside interference are doomed to fail," he added.
