A mainland spokeswoman on Wednesday slammed the recent legislative efforts made by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities, saying that their attempts to obstruct and restrict cross-Strait cooperation and exchanges are doomed to fail.
Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a media inquiry about the four recently passed draft amendments on security and revisions to the the island's regulations on relations across the Taiwan Strait. The public is concerned whether these measures are part of Taiwan regional leader Lai Ching-te's so-called "17 strategies," which is aimed at further obstructing and restricting cross-Strait exchanges.
"Lai Ching-te's so-called '17 strategies' go against mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, which favors peace, development, exchanges, and cooperation. This is also the evidence that he is a 'destroyer of cross-Strait peace' and a 'creator of crisis in the Taiwan Strait.' The DPP's recent moves are malicious. They attempted to further create 'green terror,' seek autocracy of separatists, and open the door for undermining the cross-Strait exchange and cooperation. These egregious attempts run against peace, exchange, democracy, and humanity, will inevitably be opposed and are destined to fail," said Zhu.
