The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. When asked by a journalist from CCTV about recent comments by Lai Ching-te on social media stating "defend the status quo, there is no Taiwan independence issue," and public opinion in Taiwan calling for the Democratic Progressive Party to quickly remove the "Taiwan independence party platform," spokesperson Chen Binhua responded that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is part of China, which is an indisputable historical and legal fact as well as the current situation in the Taiwan Strait. It is well known that the Democratic Progressive Party has long advocated for Taiwan's separation from China as a "Taiwan independence" party. During various periods of the Democratic Progressive Party ruling in Taiwan, they have always schemed to promote "Taiwan independence" and change the status quo of the Taiwan Strait belonging to one China. Lai Ching-te's "Taiwan independence" stance remains stubborn and provocative, constantly changing tactics to deceive the public and mislead the people, making him a complete "Taiwan independence swindler." "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace in the Taiwan Strait and is the greatest threat to Taiwan's development, leading to a dead-end.
