A spokesperson from mainland China commented on the outcome of a recall vote in Taiwan. The spokesperson stated that the failure of the recall effort against opposition lawmakers demonstrated that the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) political tactics were not aligned with the public's wishes.
The vote, held on Saturday, saw the Kuomintang party successfully retain all 24 seats. This outcome prompted a response from Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.
Chen asserted that the DPP, motivated by its pursuit of "Taiwan independence" and a desire for political dominance, had repeatedly instigated political conflict, harming the welfare of the Taiwanese people. He further accused the DPP of suppressing political opposition, fostering a climate of fear, and exacerbating social divisions. Chen characterized the DPP's actions as a display of "fake democracy, real authoritarianism.

It's clear that the Chinese government is threatened by Taiwan's moves towards independence. This is fear-mongering.

This is just another attempt to delegitimize the DPP. The people have spoken, and the DPP is their choice.

Taiwan deserves to decide its own future without interference from China. We will not be silenced!
