Chinese mainland authorities have slammed Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region, over his controversial “10 lectures on unity,” calling the speeches a dangerous mix of “lies and provocation” aimed at fueling division. The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua accused Lai of peddling separatist rhetoric and distorting history to manipulate public opinion.
“This isn’t about unity—it’s a playbook for splitting China,” Chen said Wednesday, doubling down on Beijing’s stance that Taiwan is an inseparable part of the country. He labeled Lai a “saboteur of peace” and warned that any push for independence would face “firm resistance from all Chinese people.”
The fiery response comes amid rising cross-strait tensions, with Chen blaming the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for repeatedly “crossing red lines” through pro-independence moves. Analysts say the clash highlights Beijing’s zero-tolerance approach to challenges against its sovereignty claims.
