China has sharply criticized the U.S. for sending representatives to the inauguration of Lai Ching-te, the newly elected leader of the Taiwan region, calling it a 'dangerous provocation' that undermines cross-strait stability. 🌏⚡
Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, accused the U.S. and other countries of 'sending wrong signals' to pro-independence forces by attending the event. He reiterated Beijing's stance that Taiwan is an 'inalienable part of China' and warned against any official exchanges with the island. 🚫🇹🇼
'External interference will never stop the inevitable trend of national reunification,' Chen declared, emphasizing that the Democratic Progressive Party's efforts to seek international backing for independence are 'doomed to fail.' 💥
The remarks come amid rising tensions, with China urging the U.S. to 'correct its mistakes' and avoid actions that could destabilize the Taiwan Strait. Analysts say the dispute highlights ongoing geopolitical friction between Washington and Beijing. 🌐🔍
