Chinese mainland spokesperson Chen Binhua delivered a firm message on Thursday: 'Reunification is the only direction for Taiwan's future.' The remarks came amid rising tensions following Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te's recent interview, which mainland authorities claim promotes separatist agendas. 🚨
Lai's 'Taiwan Independence' Stance Sparks Tension
Chen accused Lai of doubling down on policies that 'sabotage peace' and 'instigate conflict,' warning that such actions push cross-strait relations toward a dangerous precipice. 'Lai is the primary source of division within Taiwan society,' Chen stated, criticizing what he called attempts to distort international opinion through military posturing and foreign alliances.
A Call for Peaceful Reunification
Emphasizing that 99% of Taiwan's population shares cultural roots with the mainland, Chen urged residents of Taiwan to reject 'provocative independence rhetoric.' He reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to peaceful dialogue while vowing to 'leave no room for separatist activities.' 🌉
The spokesperson highlighted collaborative opportunities in tech and trade, noting: 'Our door remains open for joint efforts toward national rejuvenation.' Analysts suggest this language targets young professionals and entrepreneurs seeking stability in the Asia-Pacific region. 💼✨
