A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday denounced Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities for politicizing the power shortage issue on the island at the expense of people's well-being.
Zhu Fenglian, the spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks at a press conference when asked to comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's latest warning that Taiwan's manufacturing sector needs more electricity.
"The DPP authorities are single-minded in pursuing Taiwan secession, and have neither the will nor the ability to solve the structural problems facing the economic and social development of the island. Power shortages have become a weak point in Taiwan's economic and social development, as is obvious to all. The DPP authorities have highly politicized the energy issue. Instead of addressing it directly, they have turned it into a tool for partisan attacks and suppressing opponents, exposing their true nature of only caring about the interests of their own party and disregarding the well-being and future development of the people of Taiwan," said Zhu.
Mainland spokesperson slams Taiwan authorities for politicizing energy issue
Any attempt by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities to smear the "one country, two systems" principle is doomed to fail, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
She made the remarks in response to a media query about the recent remarks made by Shen Yu-chung, a Taiwan official, on the "one country, two systems" principle.
"Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and the future of Taiwan can only and must be decided by the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots. Peaceful reunification and 'one country, two systems' represent the best way to realize national reunification and best serve the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, including compatriots in Taiwan. The DPP authorities, driven by their separatist agenda, have gone out of their way to reject peaceful reunification and smear 'one country, two systems' in an attempt to mislead public opinion and fool the people in Taiwan. Such attempts will not succeed. It must be emphasized that differences in systems are not an obstacle to reunification, still less an excuse for separatism. A growing number of insightful people in Taiwan have refused to be coerced or deceived by the DPP authorities and are supporting peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Strait," said Zhu.
