The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council’s press conference focused on the outcomes of the China-US Presidential Meeting and responded to Shen Boyang’s relevant hot topics

China News Service, Beijing, October 14 (Reporters Li Baijia and Liu Dawei) A regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council was held in Beijing on the 14th. Spokesperson Chen Binhua answered reporters' questions on hot topics such as the inclusion of the history of China-US allies in World War II in the consensus list of outcomes during the China-US Presidential Meeting, and the so-called "Double Ten" speech by DPP leader Lai Qingde.

In September, President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to the United States. During the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, the two countries' historical allies in World War II were included in the consensus list of outcomes. Chen Binhua said that this is a commemoration of the world's anti-fascist forces fighting for human justice during World War II and a firm safeguard of the victory of World War II. Taiwan's liberation from the Japanese colonial yoke and its return to the embrace of the motherland is a major achievement of China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War, an important part of the post-war international order, and a historical memory that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will never forget.

Regarding Lai Ching-te's recent so-called "Double Ten" speech, declaring that "the history of World War II will never be allowed to be distorted," Chen Binhua said that the DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence", wantonly distort history, advocate a "Taiwan independence" historical view, and are infatuated with Japan and colonialism. They are the sinners of history.

As for Lai Ching-te's statement in his speech that "we will continue to promote defense reform and investment," the spokesperson said that while clamoring for militarism and "using force to seek independence" and at the same time singing the high-profile "dialogue", it is a typical two-faced approach that deceives the world and confuses the world.

Regarding the so-called "will not accept being dwarfed" in his speech, Chen Binhua responded that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is part of China. This is the real status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities' attempts to "use force to seek independence" and "rely on external forces to seek independence" will only increasingly bring Taiwan into danger and bring serious disasters to the Taiwanese people.

At the press conference, Taiwanese artist Tsai Kang-yong attracted attention when she appeared at the inaugural meeting of the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei City mayoral candidate and "Taiwan independence" die-hard Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters. Chen Binhua responded to the inquiry and said that the mainland always respects and protects the legitimate freedom of speech and expression of Taiwan compatriots, but there is no room for ambiguity on major issues of right and wrong.

Regarding recent media reports that Shen Boyang, together with his relatives, tried every means to make money from the mainland, Chen Binhua called his behavior "disgraceful" and said that the mainland will never allow companies affiliated with the "Taiwan independence" die-hard elements to make profits in the mainland. He decided to impose penalties and take necessary measures such as prohibiting him from conducting any transactions or cooperation with mainland organizations, companies, and individuals.

Recently, the Taiwan Strait Patrol Department stated that "two mainland fishing boats that crossed the Dongsha border were driven away from Dongsha in accordance with the law," and one of them was forced back by water cannon. Chen Binhua responded that the DPP authorities treated mainland ships roughly and in a dangerous manner, endangering the lives and property of relevant personnel and maliciously provoking cross-strait confrontation. They must bear all the consequences.

The press conference also touched on topics such as the intense cross-strait exchanges during the National Day, and many Taiwanese artists sending blessings on paper. Chen Binhua said that Taiwanese artists expressed their patriotic feelings on the occasion of the National Day, and we fully affirm this.

The spokesperson also introduced the mainland's work to protect the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots, as well as recent cross-strait exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, youth, culture and other fields.
