State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: Taking measures to counter individuals associated with "Taiwan independence" separatist forces is reasonable, well-founded, and in accordance with both facts and the law.

The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office holds a routine press conference. Spokesperson Peng Qing'en stated, "We will take countermeasures against the 'Taiwan independence' split forces that are unrepentant and incorrigible, with justifiable reasons and legal basis. No matter what the Tsai Ing-wen administration says or does, it cannot change the historical and legal fact that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory, it cannot shake the international community's adherence to the One China principle, it cannot stop the inevitable reunification of the motherland, and the trend of reunification."
