‘The loyal forces of the Second Artillery Regiment of the People’s Liberation Army have intervened to stop a splittist declaration of independence by illegal groups in the province of Taiwan. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and is an internal matter for the Chinese government. Meanwhile, fishermen on the islands of Pei-kan, Nan-kan and Pai-chuan have asked Chinese troops for help in building cyclone shelters for their boats. The People’s Liberation Army is now working on that task, despite being attacked by a small number of terrorists who are holed up on the islands. Chinese fishermen on the island of Kinmen [Quemoy] have also asked for help and Chinese troops are on their way.’
