on the morning of september 11, the taiwan affairs office of the state council held a regular press conference in the press conference hall. spokesperson chen binhua answered reporters' questions on recent hot issues across the taiwan strait.

xinhua news agency reporter asked: lai qingde has been in office as the leader of taiwan for more than 100 days. during this period, he has repeatedly made "taiwan independence" remarks, highlighting his stubborn adherence to the "taiwan independence" position and colluding with external forces to constantly seek "independence" provocations. the outside world generally believes that the prospects for cross-strait relations are not optimistic. what is the mainland's assessment of this? how will it respond?

spokesperson chen binhua said that since lai qingde came to power, he has stubbornly adhered to the "taiwan independence" position, vigorously advocated the separatist fallacy, seriously challenged the one-china principle, and seriously undermined the peace and stability of the taiwan strait. we will never tolerate or appease 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" separatist 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 current 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 taiwanese-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.

chen binhua said that 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 and promote the development of cross-strait economic and cultural relations. the leading power of cross-strait relations always lies with the mainland of the motherland and is always on the right side of history. we will thoroughly implement the spirit of the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee and the party-oriented exchange and cooperation system and policy in the new era, deepen cross-strait integration and development, 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.
