on september 11, the taiwan affairs office of the state council held a regular press conference.

a reporter asked: lai ching-te has been in office as the leader of taiwan for more than 100 days. during this period, he has repeatedly made "taiwan independence" remarks, which shows that he stubbornly adheres to the "taiwan independence" position and colludes with external forces to constantly seek "independence" provocations. what is the mainland's judgment on this? how will it respond?

in this regard, spokesman chen binhua said that since lai qingde came to power, he has stubbornly adhered to the "taiwan independence" position, vigorously advocated the fallacy of secession, seriously challenged the one-china principle, and seriously undermined the peace and stability of the taiwan strait. we will never tolerate or condone this. "taiwan independence" is a scourge and a dead end. it will not succeed or turn the tide. we have the firm will, full confidence, and sufficient ability to thwart any "taiwan independence" secessionist plot. if the "taiwan independence" forces dare to take risks, we will take all necessary measures to resolutely and thoroughly crush them!

chen binhua pointed out that the foundation of cross-strait relations lies in the people and the driving force lies in the people. despite the complex and severe situation in the taiwan strait, exchanges and cooperation in various fields between the two sides of the strait have not stopped, interrupted or decreased since this year. in the first half of the year, cross-strait personnel exchanges increased by 99.5% year-on-year, the number of newly established taiwan-funded enterprises in the mainland increased by 9.2% year-on-year, and the cross-strait trade volume increased by 7.6% year-on-year. this once again proves that no force can change the desire of compatriots on both sides of the strait to get closer and closer, and cannot stop the momentum of the development of cross-strait relations. the overall strategy for resolving the taiwan issue is to adhere to the one-china principle and the "1992 consensus", resolutely oppose "taiwan independence" secession and external interference, and improve the dominance of promoting the development of cross-strait relations. the mainland of the motherland has always been on the right side of history. we will thoroughly implement the spirit of the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee, deepen the integration and development of the two sides of the strait, continuously expand cross-strait personnel exchanges and exchanges and cooperation, and unswervingly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and advance the process of national reunification.
