On the morning of December 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: The United States recently released the “National Security Strategy” report. It mentioned Taiwan eight times, including Taiwan's semiconductor industry status and strategic importance, etc., and claimed that it “does not support any act that unilaterally changes the current situation in the Taiwan Strait.” Lai Qingde said that thanks to the US national security strategy for prioritizing containing the conflict in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan will continue to be a reliable partner and is firmly committed to strengthening self-defense and maintaining regional peace. What comments does the speaker have on this? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Chen Binhua: The Taiwan issue is solely China's internal affair. Resolving the Taiwan issue is the Chinese people's own business, and no outside interference is allowed. The Democratic Progressive Party administration stubbornly adheres to the separatist position of “Taiwan independence” and constantly colludes with external forces to seek “independence” provocation, which is the root cause of the tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait. The US side should strictly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, fulfill the serious political promises made by US leaders, handle the Taiwan issue carefully and carefully, stop condoning separatist forces supporting “Taiwan independence” to “seek independence through military force”, and stop sending any wrong signals to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. I told the DPP authorities that “relying on foreign countries to seek independence” and “using military force to seek independence” are bound to fail.
