In a statement that resonates with today's fast-paced, tech-savvy crowd, a spokesperson from the Chinese mainland issued a firm warning to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities. The message was clear: "those who forget their heritage will come to no good end." This remark followed criticism of the recently held second Cross-Strait Chinese Culture Summit.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stressed that both sides of the Taiwan Strait share deep cultural roots—common ancestry, language, and traditions. As she put it, "We are one family with blood ties and a shared destiny." 😊
The warning came after the DPP authorities condemned the summit, labeling it as a politically charged united front event. Reports also indicated that they threatened to investigate Taiwan-based business leaders who expressed a Chinese cultural identity.
The summit, themed "inheritance, promotion, and development," brought together more than 800 participants from cultural and academic circles. Many voices from Taiwan affirmed their recognition of shared heritage, reflecting a broader public call for peace, dialogue, and development. 🤝
In an era where technology and global trends often take center stage, this call to hold on to our roots serves as an important reminder. Embracing our shared history can pave the way for unity and a harmonious future!
