In a turn of events that's sparking waves across the Pacific 🌊, the Chinese mainland has expressed strong opposition to Lai Ching-te's recent U.S. \"stopover\" during his trip to his so-called \"diplomatic allies\" in the Pacific islands.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, didn't hold back on Sunday. He emphasized that no matter what tricks Lai and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities pull to push their \"Taiwan secession\" agenda, they won't shake the world's commitment to the one-China principle. 🗺️
\"Their attempts are like throwing pebbles into the ocean,\" Chen remarked, highlighting that the tide of China's reunification is unstoppable. 🌊
Adding to the chorus, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian reaffirmed China's stance on Monday. \"We firmly oppose any form of official interaction between the U.S. and the Taiwan region,\" Lin stated. \"Any moves by the U.S. to aid or abet Taiwan secessionists are strictly off-limits.\" 🚫🇺🇸
For those catching up, here's a quick reminder of the historical and legal facts showing that Taiwan is an integral part of China.
