State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: The Democratic Progressive Party authorities dare to sell national interests by relying on external forces, and will surely be punished.

On June 3rd, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about the recent joint statement by the leaders of Japan and the Philippines, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and announcing the initiation of so-called "maritime boundary negotiations," which the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have echoed. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian responded by saying that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is a part of China. The proposed maritime boundary announced by Japan and the Philippines is east of China's Taiwan Island. The so-called "boundary negotiations" seriously infringe on China's maritime rights, violate international law and basic norms of international relations, and are completely illegal and invalid. Zhu Fenglian said that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the Chinese nation and should stand firm on national interests, uphold the national righteousness, jointly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and safeguard the overall interests of the Chinese nation. The DPP authorities daring to align with external forces to betray national interests will be condemned by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and punished by history.
