Pro-reunification parties in the Taiwan region have voiced strong opposition to recent U.S. arms sales involving politician Lai Ching-te. The joint statement released on Wednesday accuses Lai and the arms dealers of colluding with external forces to push for Taiwan's \"independence.\" 🛡️
The criticism follows a significant arms sale by 27 U.S. dealers during the \"U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference.\" According to the statement, these actions are intended to escalate tensions across the Taiwan Strait and drag the people of Taiwan into a conflict orchestrated by the U.S.
\"The U.S. cannot guarantee Taiwan's security and is instead bringing isolation and danger to its residents,\" the statement reads. It warns that increasing arms purchases from the U.S. will result in more casualties and destabilize the region further.
The statement also alleges that the U.S. is using Taiwan as a human shield to contain China, thereby undermining regional peace and stability. This strategy, they argue, will ultimately backfire and harm U.S. interests on the global stage.
Emphasizing that the people of Taiwan prioritize peace over war, the statement condemns the Democratic Progressive Party authorities for their alleged collaboration with external forces, which they claim threatens China's territorial integrity.
Calling for unity, the pro-reunification parties urge all sectors of Taiwanese society to boycott U.S. arms dealers. They advocate for peace, economic development, and reunification instead of pursuing weapons, war, and \"independence.\" ✌️🌏
