On December 3, 2025, the Chinese mainland's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office warned against any attempts by 'Taiwan independence' separatists to disrupt cross-strait exchanges, following recent remarks by Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te on 'One Country, Two Systems'.
Spokesperson Zhang Han accused Lai of trying to limit the freedom of Taiwan residents to travel to the mainland and block cross-strait activities, calling it 'politics of terror' and dubbing the Democratic Progressive Party's rule a 'green dictatorship'. 😮
As Zhang stressed, the Taiwan question is at the very core of the Chinese mainland's core interests, an absolute red line that cannot be crossed. 🔴
Looking ahead, the mainland vowed to:
- Crush 'Taiwan independence' separatist plots
- Keep dialogue open with political parties and groups in Taiwan
- Adhere to the one-China principle to promote peaceful cross-strait relations 🤝
As both sides navigate a tense political climate, these developments could shape the future of travel, trade, and cultural exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌏
