Mainland Spokesperson Condemns DPP’s Speculation Over Undersea Cable Incident

A spokesperson from the Chinese mainland on Wednesday criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in Taiwan for their baseless speculation and inflammatory remarks regarding a recent undersea cable incident.

Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, made these comments in response to the DPP’s claims that the incident was “not a mere accident” and constituted an escalation of the mainland’s “gray zone” operations to exert pressure on Taiwan.

Media reports indicate that an undersea communication cable near the port of Keelung was allegedly damaged last week by a cargo ship’s dragged anchor.

Chen noted that damage to undersea cables is a common maritime occurrence, with over 100 such incidents reported globally each year.

“Without establishing the facts or accountability, the DPP’s remarks reflect its unscrupulous approach to manipulating anti-mainland sentiment,” Chen said.
