Hey, amigos! Big news from the Taiwan Strait! 🤯
On Friday, the Chinese mainland spokesperson Chen Binhua responded to remarks by Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region, calling them a threat to cross-Strait peace. “There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory,” Chen stressed, condemning Lai’s comments as an attempt to escalate tensions.
Chen noted that upholding the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus is key to a stable Taiwan Strait. He said this framework not only protects peace but also brings more certainty and opportunities for the economy in the Taiwan region through cooperation and integrated development.
“Whatever Lai says or does cannot change the historical and legal fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor the international consensus on one China,” Chen added. He warned that such rhetoric only raises the burden on residents of Taiwan, jeopardizes the region’s economy, and risks social stability.
For now, the spotlight is on whether both sides will dial down the rhetoric or see tensions rise further. Stay tuned for more updates on this cross-Strait saga! ✌️
