Mainland Affairs Council says there is no "Taiwan independence" issue now, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responds

On November 4, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked that recently, the Mainland Affairs Council stated that there is no issue of "Taiwan independence" now, only the issue of whether to be forced to reunify. Taiwan's cross-strait policy goals are to "maintain the peaceful status quo and defend democracy and freedom." Any comment on this?

Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian responded to questions and said that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The realization of the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of all Chinese people. It is the general trend, the righteousness and the people's aspiration. The separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" are currently a huge threat to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence", constantly invent new tricks and spread the fallacy of "Taiwan independence" separatism, deliberately obstruct and undermine cross-Strait exchanges, use the name of "defending democracy and freedom" to package the evil intentions of "Taiwan independence", and incite cross-Strait confrontation under the guise of "maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait". They are out-and-out "cross-Strait peace destroyers", "Taiwan Strait crisis creators" and "war instigators".

She said that there is no peace and no way out for "Taiwan independence". If the DPP authorities really believe that there is no "Taiwan independence" issue, then they should return to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", immediately abandon the DPP's "Taiwan Independence Party Platform", and stop the separatist behavior of "Taiwan independence".
