BEIJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) — A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday denounced Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Ching-te\’s election slogan as one suggestive of his intention to seek \”Taiwan independence.\”
Addressing a press conference, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said that it has been clear to all that a \”\’Taiwan independence\’ worker\” is a \”troublemaker\” and \”war-maker,\” and pursuing \”Taiwan independence\” ultimately leads to nowhere.
Zhu expressed the hope that Taiwan compatriots will firmly oppose \”Taiwan independence\” for the sake of their peace, stability and well-being.
