INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office on Wednesday strongly condemned Taiwan local leader Lai Ching-tes 10 lectures on
unity, calling it an outright effort to promote separatist ideology and fuel conflict throughout the Taiwan Straits.In reaction to a
question on whether Lais remarks have actually crossed a red line and how the mainland intends to respond, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the
State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, denounced the speech as filled with lies and deceit, hostility and provocation
The speech, he noted, was a distorted, fragmented narrative aimed at manipulating history and misleading public opinion on the island.The
so-called 10 lectures on unity are absolutely nothing however a mishmash of pro-independence misconceptions, Chen said, implicating Lai of
utilizing the speech to prompt division and set in motion separatist sentiment within Taiwan society
This totally exposes his stubborn separatist nature, Chen continued
He is, in essence, a saboteur of peace, a warmonger and a mischief-maker
Chen also explained that the root cause of stress in the Taiwan Straits lies in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)s continued push for
Taiwan independence and duplicated justifications
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, he stated
We will never ever permit any separatist force, in any name or kind, to separate Taiwan from the motherland
Any effort to split China will face firm resistance from all Chinese people, Chen warned.
