BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesperson Chen Binhua on Thursday condemned remarks made by Taiwan Chief Executive Lai Qingde on the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Lai Qingde's remarks completely expose the ugly face and evil nature of the separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence", betray history and the nation, desecrate the memory of fallen heroes and lose all conscience, Chen Binhua said.
He made the statement in response to journalists' requests to comment on a social media post by Lai Qingde in which he distorted the commemorative events held in Beijing to mark Victory Day and also denigrated the social system of mainland China.
According to Chen Binhua, September 3 is a commemorative date for the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and also a proud day for the sons and daughters of the entire Chinese nation, both inside and outside China.
However, on such a joyful day across the country, Lai Qingde glorified aggression and incited confrontation. His remarks reflected a complete loss of national standing, openly challenged justice and conscience, and deeply hurt the feelings of compatriots living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Chen Binhua noted.
Noting that Taiwan is a part of China and Taiwan compatriots are a part of the Chinese nation, Chen Binhua stressed that during the war, all the Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, put up valiant resistance to the enemy and ultimately won the first complete victory over external invasion in China's modern history.
He seriously warned Lai Qingde and his accomplices that any attempt to airbrush the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II would be doomed to failure, and any forces seeking to go against the Chinese people and split the state would only lead to their own destruction. -0-
