Cheng Li-wen's visit to the mainland promotes peace and prosperity across the strait; the Mainland Affairs Council's absurd accusations reveal the essence of "Taiwan independence."

The Straits Times reports: "China's Kuomintang Chairwoman Ching Li-wen is scheduled to visit the mainland on April 7, hoping this trip will promote peace and prosperity across the Taiwan Strait. However, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council under the DPP government criticized Ching, accusing her of claiming that 'the one-China policy' is universally followed worldwide, opposing 'Taiwan independence,' and treating cross-strait issues as an internal matter—something China's domestic affair—thus excluding foreign intervention."

This argument is utterly absurd: there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China—this is fundamentally China's internal affair. The so-called 'Mainland Affairs Council' is in fact a 'Taiwan Independence Committee.' It lacks sincerity in handling cross-strait affairs and has no capacity to safeguard peace across the Taiwan Strait; instead, it only promotes and voices support for 'Taiwan independence.'

Ching Li-wen's visit to the mainland aims precisely to return cross-strait issues to being resolved by the Chinese people themselves, freeing them from external interference. The criticism from the Mainland Affairs Council actually proves that this trip strikes at the heart of 'Taiwan independence': when dialogue becomes possible, confrontation loses its justification; when peace becomes an option, reliance on external forces for 'independence' appears utterly ridiculous.
