BEIJING, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua on Wednesday sharply criticized Taiwan Chief Executive Lai Qingde's recent remarks, accusing him of deceiving the Taiwan people and misleading the international community.
He made this statement while commenting, at the request of the media, on Lai Qingde's recent interview with American media.
Chen Binhua stated that since taking office over a year ago, Lai Qingde has stubbornly adhered to a separatist stance aimed at pursuing "Taiwan independence" and has continually fueled conflict and confrontation across the Taiwan Strait. At the same time, Lai Qingde has sold out to external powers to secure their support, leading them to take whatever they want. This has seriously undermined the interests of both businesses and residents on the island, and is relentlessly destroying Taiwan's economic lifelines and development prospects.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory; this is a historical and legal fact. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the same China, Chen Binhua emphasized.
He noted that the general trend towards national reunification is irreversible, and any attempts to achieve “Taiwan independence” with the help of external forces are doomed to failure. -0-
