On October 27, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.

  A reporter asked that the head of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department, Wu Zhaoxie, recently visited Slovakia and the Czech Republic, peddling "Taiwan independence" propositions and spreading "Taiwan independence" remarks. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

  Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that Wu Zhaoxie is a diehard "Taiwan independence" and has gone further and further on the road of "independence" crimes.

For a period of time, Wu Zhaoxie has clamored for "Taiwan is a sovereign country" internationally under various names and forms, peddling "Taiwan independence" propositions, and he will not hesitate to act as a pawn by external anti-China forces and continue to pursue "independence" provocations.

The "Taiwan independence" actions of Wu Zhaoxie and others cannot change the iron fact that Taiwan is a part of China, nor can it shake the one-China international situation.

We warn the DPP authorities that reunification is the right way and "Taiwan independence" is a dead end.

Any act of colluding with external forces to seek "independence" and refusing reunification will eventually be liquidated.

  Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that we oppose any form of official exchanges between China's Taiwan region and countries with which China has diplomatic ties. This position is consistent and clear.

We urge relevant countries to stay consistent with their words and deeds, to abide by the one-China principle with practical actions, to handle the Taiwan issue prudently and properly, not to provide a stage and convenience for the "Taiwan Independence" separatist forces, and not to send any wrong signals to the "Taiwan Independence" separatist forces.
