State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: Oppose the United States providing a platform for "Taiwan independence" elements to perform.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities sent representatives to attend the first "Silicon Peace Summit" hosted by the United States, claiming that Taiwan can play a key role in the "global semiconductor democratic supply chain." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Peng Qingen said, we oppose the United States providing a stage for "Taiwan independence" advocates. Lai Ching-te and the DPP authorities deliberately incite ideological confrontation and advocate a false narrative of "democracy against authoritarianism" in order to promote "independence", which is not popular among the people. The so-called "democratic supply chain" is essentially the Lai Ching-te administration going against economic and market laws, catering to external forces without bottom line, selling Taiwan's advantageous industries, sacrificing Taiwan's development prospects, and jeopardizing the livelihoods of the people in exchange for support from external forces for their pursuit of "independence". Their words and actions will only aggravate tensions in the Taiwan Strait, increase the burden on the Taiwanese people, and jeopardize Taiwan's economic lifeline and development prospects.
