📣 On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, delivered a pointed message at a regular press conference. She urged compatriots in Taiwan to recognize the dangers behind Japan's recent provocative remarks and unite against separatist moves and foreign interference.
"These comments trample on international justice, challenge the post-war order, deny the outcomes of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and undermine China-Japan relations," Zhu said, referring to statements by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. She added that these moves risk reviving past militarism and meddling in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Zhu stressed that the Taiwan question is an internal affair of the Chinese mainland and brooks no external interference. She called on Japan to stop its provocations immediately and warned that the root of tensions lies with the DPP authorities' secessionist stance and collusion with outside forces.
Highlighting recent international reactions, Zhu noted that many foreign media outlets, experts, and scholars have criticized the DPP authorities as a "destroyer of peace across the Taiwan Strait" and a "troublemaker."
She wrapped up her remarks by warning that those who rely on foreign support to seek independence are chasing a futile dream and that betraying the shared heritage of the Chinese nation will lead to historical condemnation.
As debates heat up on social media 🔥, all eyes are on how Tokyo and Taipei will respond to this latest exchange of words.
