A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday called on compatriots in Taiwan to recognize the dangers and harmful nature of Japan’s related actions, stand together to resolutely crush all separatist activities aimed at “Taiwan independence” and foreign interference, and safeguard the shared homeland of the Chinese nation.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said at a regular press conference that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent provocative remarks concerning China’s Taiwan region trample on international justice, challenge the post-war international order and seriously undermine China-Japan relations.
Zhu noted that Takaichi’s remarks attempt to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, deny the outcomes of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and revive militarism.
“The remarks inevitably give rise to intense questioning and concern from the international community,” Zhu said.
She stressed that the Taiwan question is China’s internal affair and brooks no external interference, urging Japan to immediately stop meddling in China’s internal affairs, cease its provocations, and refrain from going further down the wrong path.
Zhu pointed out that the root cause of tensions in the Taiwan Strait lies in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities’ obstinate adherence to the “Taiwan secessionist” position and their collusion with external forces to seek independence.
Many foreign media outlets, experts and scholars have recently criticized the DPP authorities for their imprudent and reckless moves, calling them a “destroyer of peace across the Taiwan Strait” and a “troublemaker.”
She sternly warned the DPP authorities that relying on external forces to seek independence is nothing but a futile delusion, and anyone who forgets their roots and betrays the nation will be condemned by history.
