A Chinese mainland spokesperson has issued a stern rebuke to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities following provocative remarks by leader Lai Ching-te, emphasizing that historical judgment awaits those who undermine national unity.
Cross-Strait Tensions Escalate
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, condemned Lai's recent speech at the Ketagalan Forum, where he reiterated support for separatist agendas. Zhu described Lai as a 'saboteur of peace' whose actions threaten regional stability.
DPP's 'Green Terror' Alleged
Since taking office, Lai has allegedly fostered an environment of suppression against groups advocating cross-strait cooperation, while pushing policies to 'decouple' Taiwan from the mainland. Critics argue these moves prioritize political agendas over economic stability and public welfare.
Military Buildup Draws Criticism
The spokesperson highlighted concerns over Taiwan's increased military spending, warning it recklessly endangers residents by escalating tensions. Zhu stressed that such actions contradict mainstream public opinion on the island.
Reunification 'Inevitable'
'Forgetting one's roots will lead to no good end,' Zhu stated, reaffirming Beijing's stance that reunification remains an unstoppable historical trend. Analysts note the remarks reflect growing frustration with DPP-led efforts to court foreign support for separatist goals.
