State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: If the "Taiwan independence" forces dare to cross the red line, we will definitely strike back.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council holds a routine press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, Lai Ching-te advocated for the establishment of the "One Country, Two Systems Taiwan Plan" as a red line that cannot be touched in Taiwanese society. He claimed that based on this, control should be exerted on political parties, legal entities, civil society organizations, etc. in Taiwan that have exchanges and political dialogues with the mainland. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhang Han said that Lai Ching-te is arbitrarily restricting the freedom of Taiwanese people to participate in cross-strait exchanges, rudely depriving people of their right to pursue a better life, fully exposing the nature of his "terrorism politics" and "green dictatorship". "One Country, Two Systems" is a peaceful solution, a democratic solution, a goodwill solution, and a win-win solution. After unification, with a strong motherland as a backing, the well-being of Taiwan compatriots will be better, the development space will be larger, more secure, more dignified, with a stronger voice internationally; Taiwan will always be peaceful, the people will live and work in peace, and Taiwan compatriots will share the dignity and glory of our great motherland, ushering in a prosperous and stable bright future. Zhang Han emphasized that the Taiwan issue is a core interest of China, affecting the national sentiment of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, and is an absolute red line that cannot be crossed. If the "Taiwan independence" forces dare to cross the red line, we will decisively strike back, we will continue to adhere to the One China principle, exchange views extensively with Taiwan political parties, groups, and people from all walks of life on cross-strait relations and national reunification issues, engage in in-depth consultations, jointly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and advance the great cause of national reunification.
