On the morning of December 31, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: Recently, during an interview, Lai Qingde once again advocated the “New Two Countries Theory,” claiming that the mainland has launched five types of threats against Taiwan, including “national sovereignty” and “confusion,” and that Taiwan needs to improve its “porcupine” strength to protect itself; peace cannot rely on a paper agreement; its biggest mission is to maintain “national” security and regional peace and stability, and prevent war from happening. Any comments on this please? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Zhang Han: Since Lai Qingde came to power, he has stubbornly adhered to the “Taiwan independence” position, vigorously promoted secession and confrontation, continuously incited rivalry between the two sides of the Strait, promoted “preparations for independence” for the sake of one party and one's own personal interests, and raised the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait. This will only turn Treasure Island into a battleground and turn the Taiwanese people into cannon fodder. The true face of its “peace breaker,” “war dealer,” and “troublemaker” has been discovered by more and more Taiwanese people. “Taiwan independence” and peace in the Taiwan Strait are intolerable; only reunification between the two sides of the Strait can keep Taiwan peaceful forever.
