Taiwan Affairs Office responds to rumors that Lai Ching-te's son is under surveillance in the US: baseless fabrication and reckless nonsense.

On October 14, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Taiwan media, citing US media reports, said that the FBI arrested a US woman who was allegedly surveilling Lai Ching-te's son at the instigation of mainland officials. The DPP authorities called this a typical case of "transnational repression" and said they are actively studying amendments to the so-called "Anti-Infiltration Act" to respond. What is your comment? Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said, I am not aware of the situation you mentioned. We firmly oppose the DPP authorities colluding with external forces to make reckless and fabricated claims, manipulate "anti-China and anti-China" sentiment, provoke cross-strait confrontation, and seek political self-interest. Such sinister schemes and despicable practices cannot fool the Taiwanese people and will only be despised.
