🚀 Taiwan's Pro-Reunification Parties Denounce U.S. Arms Deal with Lai Ching-te
In a bold move, pro-reunification parties in the Taiwan region have united to slam recent U.S. arms sales to the island and accuse Lai Ching-te of colluding with external forces to seek \"independence\". 😲
The joint statement issued on Wednesday comes after 27 U.S. arms dealers, under the guise of participating in the \"U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference,\" sold weapons to Lai Ching-te, sparking controversy across the island.
\"These actions are fueling conflict across the Taiwan Strait and dragging the people of Taiwan into an anti-China war set by the U.S.,\" the statement declared.
The parties warned that the U.S. cannot guarantee Taiwan's security and that such arms purchases will only bring isolation and danger to the people. \"Buying U.S. weapons will lead to more casualties in the region,\" they cautioned.
The statement criticized the United States for using Taiwan as a pawn to contain China and undermine regional peace and stability. \"In the end, the U.S. will be spurned by the international community and hurt its own interests,\" it added.
They emphasized that the greatest common desire among the people of Taiwan is peace, not war. \"Any politician who plunges Taiwan into a war crisis stands against the people,\" the statement asserted.
\"The people of Taiwan are part of the Chinese nation,\" they reaffirmed, condemning the Democratic Progressive Party authorities for colluding with external forces and attempting to split China's territory.
The pro-reunification parties called on all sectors in Taiwan to boycott U.S. arms dealers and to seek peace, economic development, and reunification instead of weapons, wars, and \"independence\". ✌️
It's clear that tensions are rising, and the youth of Taiwan are voicing their desire for a peaceful future free from external manipulation. 🌿
