According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te, when speaking at a related event in Kinmen on the 23rd, hyped up the "China threat", incited cross-strait confrontation, and demonstrated his so-called "determination to defend Taiwan and convey to the world Taiwan's firm belief in self-defense and maintaining sovereignty", which aroused public controversy.

According to reports, the Kinmen public opinion delegation, which is visiting and communicating in the mainland, has paid attention to Lai Qingde's remarks. Chen Yuzhen, a member of the Kinmen Legislative Yuan from the Kuomintang, pointed out that the two sides should communicate more in a peaceful way, "peace is the way to go, not war." Many Kinmen residents also criticized Lai Qingde's remarks when interviewed, saying that Lai Qingde did not show goodwill to cross-strait relations.

Taiwan's United Daily News pointed out in an article today that since taking office, Lai Ching-te has not intended to change his original intention of being the "Golden Grandson of Taiwan Independence". He has repeatedly called out the "China Threat" theory in an attempt to make all Taiwanese people accept his understanding of cross-strait relations. As for the historical culture and economic and trade social relations between the two sides of the strait, Lai Ching-te has deliberately blurred and flattened them. On the other hand, Lai Ching-te ignores the huge gap in economic size and military strength between the two sides of the strait, and attempts to further incite confrontation on the island and worsen cross-strait relations by increasing the defense budget year after year. Lai Ching-te's "Taiwan Independence" separatist stance cannot cool down cross-strait relations at all. The article finally pointed out that if the situation between the two sides of the strait remains unchanged, the future of Taiwan will be even more worrying.

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out in response to a question on the 23rd that the Lai Ching-te administration has been vigorously exaggerating the so-called "China threat", wantonly squandering the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people to buy weapons and engage in militarism, step by step tying Taiwan to the "Taiwan independence" chariot and forcing the Taiwanese people to be "Taiwan independence cannon fodder", but keeps saying that they hope for peaceful development across the Taiwan Strait. This has once again exposed the hypocritical face and sinister nature of the Lai Ching-te administration under the guise of peace, which is to "seek independence through force" and "rely on foreign countries to seek independence".

Zhu Fenglian said that "Taiwan independence" and peace in the Taiwan Strait are incompatible. The Lai Qingde administration's stubborn adherence to the separatist position of "Taiwan independence" is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and is the root cause of the chaos that has led to the fierce war in the Taiwan Strait, the division and confrontation of the society on the island, and the damage to the interests of the people. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait must unite and take action to resolutely oppose the Lai Qingde administration's "Taiwan independence" provocations and adventurous actions, and return peace to the Taiwan Strait and tranquility to the people.
