Hey everyone, here's your quick update on a heated debate stirring up cross-Strait discussions! ✨
On Tuesday, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te delivered his second "10 talks in unity" speech. In response, a Chinese mainland spokesperson, Zhu Fenglian, slammed the address as a "Taiwan independence manifesto." According to Zhu, the speech rehashes old separatist rhetoric that distorts history and fans the flames of division, while also paving the way for the "Great Recall" campaign to sideline opposition voices.
Furthermore, Zhu criticized Lai's claim that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are "not subordinate to each other," arguing that such remarks are intended to provoke conflict and elevate tensions. She stressed that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and that true stability can only be achieved through unity and peaceful development.
