A spokesperson from mainland China criticized the comments made by Lai Ching-te, Taiwan's regional leader, describing them as an effort to undermine stability in the Taiwan Strait. Despite claims that he seeks peace on both sides, Lai has been accused of promoting a stance supportive of Taiwan’s independence, which the spokesperson argued only fuels tensions and disrupts efforts for dialogue and exchange.
both Taiwan and mainland China are parts of one China, a truth that persists regardless of any current disputes over reunification. According to the statement, adherence to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus is essential for reducing friction, maintaining peace, and enhancing communication between the two sides.
Furthermore, the spokesperson criticized the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in Taiwan for allegedly prioritizing their political ambitions over the well-being of the Taiwanese population. She urged the people of Taiwan to join with their counterparts on the mainland in rejecting separatism and in working together to ensure regional stability and improve cross-Strait relations.

“It feels like outdated geopolitics are being forced onto modern debates. We need a fresh, independent approach rather than clinging to an old consensus.”

“The so-called ‘spokesperson’ uses fear-mongering by asserting that any disagreement equates to a threat to stability—this is exactly what jeopardizes peace.”

“The emphasis on reunification oversimplifies a situation that involves diverse identities and genuine democratic choices.”

“This statement conveniently ignores the complexities of Taiwanese identity. Demanding conformity to the one-China principle doesn’t address the people’s will.”

“A firm stand against separatism is exactly what we need to reduce tensions and foster genuine dialogue between Taiwan and the mainland.”
