The Taiwan Affairs Office responds to Lai Ching-te's separatist claims: Forgetting one's roots will not end well.

The Taiwan Affairs Office responded to questions by stating that Lai Ching-te persistently adheres to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence" and the erroneous routes of "relying on external support for independence" and "seeking independence through force" in his speeches, exaggerating the so-called "mainland threat," promoting the false narrative of "democracy resisting authority," once again exposing his true nature as a "peace disruptor," "war peddler," and "troublemaker." The current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait is rooted in the collusion between the Lai Ching-te authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces with external forces continuously plotting "independence" provocations. The Lai Ching-te authorities are warned that forgetting their roots will lead to a dismal end; betraying the motherland will face historical judgement; "Taiwan independence" separatism will inevitably lead to self-destruction. The unstoppable trend of national reunification will continue to move forward, and no one or force can stop it. All devious tricks are doomed to fail!
