The Chinese mainland has sent a strong message to those who want Taiwan to become independent. A spokesperson named Chen Binhua said that if anyone tries to cross the “red line” of making Taiwan separate from China, they will take firm action.
This statement came after Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te said that Taiwan is an “independent and democratic sovereign country” and talked about a supposed “threat” from the Chinese mainland. Chen Binhua responded by calling Lai a “troublemaker” who is causing problems between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.
Chen emphasized that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China and always will be. He warned that anyone trying to split Taiwan from China will not succeed. “Taiwan belongs to all the Chinese people. This is a fact that cannot be changed,” he said.
The Chinese mainland wants peace and unity across the Taiwan Strait and hopes that people will work together. They believe there is no room for any activities that try to make Taiwan independent.
