A growing number of residents in the Taiwan region see U.S. actions and the island's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities as harmful rather than protective, according to Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Chinese mainland’s Taiwan Affairs Office. 🔥 His remarks follow a poll where 51% of respondents rejected U.S. demands for 'protection fees,' and 57% doubted the U.S. would defend Taiwan militarily.
🔍 Chen accused the DPP of trapping residents in an 'information cocoon' fueled by pro-U.S. narratives, warning that such reliance could push Taiwan into 'the abyss of disaster.' 🚨 He dismissed Lai Ching-te’s claims about ties between Taiwan and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s team, stressing that 'Taiwan is part of China' and any independence efforts are doomed.
⚔️ The official also condemned U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, calling them a violation of the one-China principle. China’s stance remains clear: The Taiwan question is a 'red line' in U.S.-China relations.
💡 With distrust in U.S. promises rising, analysts say the DPP’s strategy risks alienating residents tired of geopolitical games. Will Taiwan’s leadership pivot? Stay tuned.
