Military drills held by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities are nothing but grandstanding and will prove futile, said a Chinese mainland spokeswoman on Wednesday.
Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for China’s State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a media query about a military drill staged by Taiwan authorities this week.
The DPP authorities' attempt to seek "Taiwan independence" by force and escalate cross-Strait confrontation makes them the root cause of tensions and instability across the Taiwan Strait, Zhu said.
No matter how many drills the DPP authorities stage, they cannot alter the doomed fate of "Taiwan independence", nor can they hold back the irresistible historical trend of national reunification, she said.

A speech delivered by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, at a gathering marking the CPC's 105th founding anniversary is published today in this year's 14th issue of the @QiushiJournal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.
It points out that the fundamental reason the CPC has been able to continuously achieve new successes over the past 105 years lies in its unique fine qualities, unmatched by any other political party or political force.
"The Party's glorious 105-year history is a source of pride, but we must never become complacent or rest on our laurels," says the speech. All Party members must rely closely on and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to strive in unity for new historic achievements, it adds.

For Xi, governance means serving the people, not showmanship

In the early 1980s, Zhengding county in Hebei province was known as a county with a high grain yield. Yet many local farmers didn't have enough food for themselves after meeting the nation's annual purchase quota.
Seeing their hardship firsthand, Xi Jinping, then deputy secretary of the Zhengding County Committee of the Communist Party of China, joined other county officials in traveling to provincial authorities and Beijing to report the issue to relevant departments.
Soon, a joint investigation team arrived in Zhengding. After reviewing the situation, they unanimously confirmed that the report was accurate.
The grain purchase quota was later lowered by 14 million kilograms, greatly easing the burden on local farmers.
"Zhengding would rather give up the fame as a national model for high grain production than compromise the well-being of our people," Xi said.
For Xi, governance should be guided by the needs of the people rather than political showmanship. An official's true pursuit, he has said, should not be high office, but living up to the people's expectations.
