A heated warning came from the Chinese mainland last Wednesday when spokesperson Chen Binhua addressed Taiwan regional leader Lai Ching-te's recent "10 lectures on unity." Chen accused Lai of having a "sinister intent" to rely on foreign forces in pursuit of Taiwan independence and of using military means to push a separatist agenda.
According to Chen, Lai's remarks contradict the mainstream desire for peace and development on the island, potentially putting Taiwan compatriots at risk. He went on to label Lai as a "peace destroyer," "a thorough war monger," and "a notorious troublemaker," arguing that such rhetoric only incites antagonism across the Taiwan Strait. 😬
Chen further criticized Lai's alarmist claims of an imminent military threat from the Chinese mainland, suggesting these are simply a cover for an aggressive separatist agenda. He stressed that as long as Taiwan independence separatism exists, lasting peace in the Taiwan Strait will remain elusive.
Emphasizing the one-China principle, Chen reaffirmed that Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Mazu are integral parts of China's sacred territory. He urged Taiwan compatriots to consider their national interests and join forces to oppose separatism, ensuring a secure and peaceful environment for all. 🚀
This fervent exchange highlights the intensifying debate over cross-Straits relations, with both sides facing a critical juncture in shaping regional stability. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds. 🌏✌️
