Mainland authorities said on Wednesday that remarks made by a Taiwan leader sensationalized the so-called military threat posed by the mainland.

Fan Liqing, the spokeswoman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a press conference on Wednesday that the cross-Straits relationship has seen great improvement in recent years and has become stable.

"Under these circumstances, it is very difficult to understand why there are people in Taiwan who still continue to sensationalize the so-called military threat posed by the mainland and instigate hostility," she said.

Fan was responding to comments made by Andrew Yang, a Taiwan leader, who said on September 19 at the US-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference in Virginia in the US that Taiwan is currently developing "asymmetrical strategies" to deal with the growing military imbalance across the Taiwan Straits.
