Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: All evil deeds of the DPP authorities are a betrayal of the "Zhongshan Spirit"

On November 4, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked questions about the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council's remarks about Sun Yat-sen's "difference" from the Chinese Communist Party.

In this regard, spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said that Mr. Sun Yat-sen was a great national hero, a great patriot, and a great pioneer of China's democratic revolution. This year marks the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Relevant parties on the mainland have held commemorative activities in various forms. Many Taiwan compatriots have also held commemorative activities on the island to jointly express their respect for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, inherit and carry forward his precious spirit.

The Chinese Communists are the staunchest supporters, most loyal collaborators, and most loyal successors of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s revolutionary cause. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have made great achievements that are universally recognized after more than a hundred years of struggle. Many of the blueprints drawn by Mr. Sun Yat-sen have become reality today. We have successfully embarked on a Chinese-style modernization path. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable, and the prospects for the reunification of the motherland are bright.

The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence" and refuse to recognize the "1992 Consensus" that embodies the one-China principle. They continue to distort the glorious history of Taiwan compatriots' resistance to foreign aggression, continue to downplay and beautify Japanese colonial rule, be servile to external forces, and even prevent Taiwan compatriots from participating in activities held on the mainland to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The DPP authorities have committed various evil acts, which are a blasphemy against Dr. Sun Yat-sen's noble personality and a betrayal of the "Zhongshan Spirit." I am telling the DPP authorities that history cannot be betrayed, the general trend is unstoppable, and the reunification of the motherland will eventually be realized and must be realized.
