China News Service, Beijing, October 12 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on the 12th.
A reporter asked: On October 10, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te delivered the so-called "Double Ten" speech, continuing to spread the fallacy of "relying on foreign countries for independence" and attacking and discrediting the mainland. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Mao Ning: There is only one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing the whole of China. Adhering to the one-China principle, opposing "Taiwan independence" separatism, and supporting China's reunification are what the international community wants and hopes for.
The so-called "democracy" spoken by Lai Qingde cannot conceal the essence and truth of his "Taiwan independence" separatism. Taiwan's return to China is an important part of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order. The real status quo of the Taiwan Strait is that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China. No matter what Lai Ching-te says or does, it cannot change the historical and legal fact that Taiwan belongs to China, nor can it change the dead-end and doomed outcome of "Taiwan independence", nor can it stop the general trend that China will eventually be reunified and will be reunified.
