Analysts say the result deals a quiet blow to Beijing's efforts to leverage local opposition to US-Japan military ties and remilitarization, compelling Chinese academics and state media to recalibrate their messaging toward the strategically vital prefecture.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to the remarks of the chairman of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council: adhere to the one-China principle to promote the reunification of the motherland

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded to the remarks of Qiu Chuizheng, chairman of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council, emphasizing that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, the reunification of the motherland is a historical trend, and Taiwan's future must be shared by the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots. It was decided that the DPP authorities' insistence on the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence" goes against the mainstream public opinion on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and is opposed by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It will firmly adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", promote the integrated development of cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, enhance the interests and well-being of Taiwan compatriots, and firmly advance the process of reunification of the motherland.
