Meanwhile, some international media argued that if Beijing were to adopt a similar approach, it would face much higher risks and costs. What's your comment on this?</p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>张晓刚：</strong>台湾问题纯属中国内政，如何解决是中国人自己的事，外部势力无权置喙。我们对付“台独”武装就像瓮中捉鳖，凡是能够严惩“台独”分子的措施都是可选项。</p> <p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Zhang Xiaogang:</strong> The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. How to resolve it is a matter for the Chinese, which brooks no interference from external forces. For us, to deal with the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces is like catching a turtle in a jar, and all options that can punish the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces remain on the table.</p>
