China's central authorities' lawful law-enforcement in the waters surrounding Taiwan is legitimate and just, said Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
She said Taiwan's DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) regime has distorted facts about it in an attempt to resist the central government to protect its selfish political interest, and such attempts are doomed to fail.
"Taiwan is a part of China. This is an indisputable and unchallengeable historical and legal fact. The relevant central authorities' lawful law-enforcement and rights-protection operations in the waters surrounding the island of Taiwan are legitimate and just actions to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, protect the life and property safety of fishermen across the Strait, and maintain normal navigation and operational order in the relevant waters. The DPP regime distorts the facts and maliciously hypes the action in an attempt to resist the central government to protect and pursue their selfish political interest, but such attempts are doomed to fail," said Zhu.
