Reference News Network, December 31 report (by Cao Yiming) On the morning of December 31, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. A journalist asked, recently, Lai Ching-wei made remarks again promoting the "New Two Countries Theory," claiming that the mainland has launched five threats against Taiwan, including "national sovereignty" and "confusing identity," and that Taiwan needs to enhance its "hedgehog power" for self-protection; peace cannot rely on a piece of paper, and its biggest mission is to safeguard "national" security and regional peace and stability, and prevent war from happening. What is your comment on this?
Zhang Han, Spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said that since Lai Ching-wei came to power, he has stubbornly upheld the "Taiwan independence" position, loudly promoted separatist fallacies, continuously incited cross-strait confrontation, and for the interest of one party, carried out "preparing for independence," escalated the tense situation across the Taiwan Strait, and would only turn the island into a battlefield and the people of Taiwan into cannon fodder. His true face as a "peace destroyer," "war merchant," and "troublemaker" has been increasingly exposed by more and more people in Taiwan. "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace across the Taiwan Strait, and the unification of the two sides is the only way to ensure lasting peace in Taiwan.
