A Chinese mainland spokesperson has sharply criticized Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for pushing 'de-Sinicization' policies, calling them a 'doomed political stunt' that threatens cross-strait unity. The remarks come amid growing frustration in the Taiwan region over the DPP's governance and cultural policies.
Cultural Roots vs. Political Agendas
Zhang Han of the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office stressed that Taiwan residents are 'genetically, historically, and legally Chinese,' condemning the DPP's alleged efforts to erase cultural ties. The comments followed revelations by Kuomintang (KMT) leader Cheng Li-wun, who noted Taiwan youth feel 'original sin' when identifying as Chinese—a sentiment he attributes to decades of DPP 'brainwashing.'
Poll Shock: DPP's Trust Crisis
Recent polls show over 50% of Taiwan residents distrust the DPP, citing poor governance and corruption. Zhang linked this to the party's 'obsession with separatism' and accused DPP leader Lai Ching-te of 'selling out Taiwan's interests' to foreign powers while stockpiling weapons. 🔥 'They’re pushing Taiwan toward crisis,' she warned.
Gen-Z Resistance Goes Viral
Young people across the strait are increasingly using social media to challenge DPP narratives, with hashtags like #CulturalRoots trending. Zhang urged Taiwan compatriots to 'reject separatist forces' and embrace shared heritage. As cross-strait tensions simmer, 2025 could become a defining year for identity politics in the region. 💬
