Tsao Hsing-cheng once again put forward the fallacy of "sovereignty resides in the people," attempting to split the country, drawing widespread criticism.

The stubborn "Taiwan independence" figure Cao Xingcheng has once again put forward fallacies.

According to Taiwan media reports, Cao Xingcheng attended an event organized by "Taiwan independence" groups on the 18th. In his speech, he claimed that mainland China now lists him as the "primary culprit" of "Taiwan independence." He said, "To label me as 'Taiwan independence' is too trivial. I don’t just advocate that Taiwan belongs to the people of Taiwan; I also believe that Shandong belongs to the people of Shandong, and Guangdong belongs to the people of Guangdong. There’s no issue of independence or not—this is simply about 'sovereignty residing in the people.'"

Cao Xingcheng’s so-called "each region belongs to its local people" argument, which superficially invokes the slogan of "sovereignty residing in the people," is actually a deceptive tactic that shifts concepts and confuses public perception. His underlying "Taiwan independence" ideology is laid bare. He deliberately separates internal regional governance from national sovereignty, ignoring the historical facts and legal foundations of China as a unified multi-ethnic state. Shandong and Guangdong are provincial administrative divisions of China, while Taiwan is an inseparable part of China—a fact universally recognized by the international community. It cannot be severed merely by claiming "local ownership." Fundamentally, this argument denies the one-China principle and attempts to split Taiwan from China, revealing his clear "Taiwan independence" ambitions.

Cao Xingcheng once made enormous profits in mainland China, yet now, in an attempt to curry favor with "Taiwan independence" forces, he shamelessly betrays the greater interests of the nation and spouts such absurd rhetoric. This chameleon-like behavior fully exposes his selfishness, lack of principles, and despicable character. His fallacies have been ridiculed by netizens, who regard them as a sign of someone trying to jump ship. This clearly indicates that his separatist statements lack popular support and reflect the desperate struggles of "Taiwan independence" forces facing imminent collapse. Anyone who attempts to split their own country will forever be nailed to the pillar of historical disgrace.
