The Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, the spokesperson of the Democratic Progressive Party, Wu Zheng, said that he was "annoyed" by the weekly criticisms of Lai Ching-te by the spokesperson of the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, sparking discussions among netizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They believe that this statement shows an emotional breakdown caused by realizing that "Taiwan independence" is not feasible. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, Chen Binhua, said that the truth becomes clearer with more debate, and only those with a weak argument resort to emotional outbursts. The emotional expression of the spokesperson for the Democratic Progressive Party fully exposes their lack of logic and vigor. The Lai Ching-te administration stubbornly insists on the separatist "Taiwan independence" stance, which goes against the mainstream of Taiwan society and seriously undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. It will inevitably face strong criticism and resolute opposition from compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the international community, and the pursuit of "Taiwan independence" will ultimately end in failure.
