Beijing, October 10 (Xinhua) — No statement or action by Taiwan's Prime Minister Lai Qingde can stop the historical trend of China's inevitable reunification, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Friday.
Chen Binhua made the statement in response to the erroneous rhetoric regarding cross-strait relations contained in Lai Qingde's speech the same day.
Only by adhering to the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus can peace and stability between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait be truly guaranteed and a good life for Taiwanese compatriots can be ensured, the official said.
He noted that abandoning the one-China principle, rejecting the 1992 consensus, and promoting "Taiwan independence" would create tension and turbulence in the Taiwan Strait and harm the economy and interests of the people of Taiwan.
Chen Binhua stated that in his speech today, Lai Qingde persisted in his stance of pursuing "Taiwan independence," embellished the so-called "threat from the Chinese mainland," and distorted the history of World War II and UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, in a futile attempt to advance his separatist agenda through force and reliance on external support.
However, Lai Qingde's erroneous statements and actions cannot change the historical and legal fact that Taiwan belongs to China, nor the international consensus that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory, the official representative said.
“We will join our Taiwan compatriots in firmly opposing separatists advocating ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference, firmly safeguard the common home of the Chinese nation, and unite in building a bright future of national reunification and rejuvenation,” Chen Binhua concluded. –0–
