On the morning of December 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: In an interview with the “New York Times” a few days ago, Lai Qingde said that Taiwan's economic growth rate this year reached 7.37%, falsely claiming that it is “willing to help China and cooperate to solve various economic problems facing China,” hoping that the mainland “should not consider how to expand its territory, but rather think about how to take better care of the Chinese people.” What comments does the speaker have on this? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Chen Binhua: Lai Qingde went out of his own accord in an attempt to mislead public opinion and deceive the public by playing digital games. Since this year, the mainland's main economic indicators have performed well. New quality productivity has been actively developed, and reform and opening-up have continued to be deepened, showing strong vitality and resilience. In the first three quarters, mainland GDP exceeded 101.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.2% over the previous year, with an increase of about 4 trillion yuan. The growth in the three quarters reached more than 80% of Taiwan's total economy. Taiwan's GDP is expected to fall short of that of many mainland provinces this year. I really don't know where Lai Qingde's confidence comes from. In order to “rely on foreign countries to seek independence,” to push for “decoupling and breaking the chain” between the two sides of the Strait in violation of economic laws, ignoring Taiwan's dominant industries being forcibly hollowed out by outsiders, ignoring the serious difficulties faced by Taiwan's traditional industries, and trying his best to give glory and sincerity to external forces, only to further sell Taiwan and harm Taiwan. There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving complete national reunification is the common aspiration of all the sons and daughters of China. The economies of both sides of the Strait belong to the Chinese nation. We have always adhered to the concept of “one family between the two sides of the Strait” and are committed to strengthening cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, deepening cross-strait integration and development, and sharing opportunities for Chinese-style modern development with Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises.
