China News Service, September 30. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on the 30th. Spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang said that the main culprit causing the current complex and severe situation in the Taiwan Strait is the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their "Taiwan independence" activities.
We are willing to create broad space for peaceful reunification, but we will never leave any space for various forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
Do not question our determination, will and ability on this point.
A reporter asked, although the mainland has always emphasized "harmony is the most important thing," the PLA's military planes are normalized to bypass Taiwan. Are they worried that Taiwan’s social and psychological defense line will collapse? This will also allow some Taiwan’s “people with intentions” to make a fuss. What is your comment on this?
Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that, first of all, everyone must distinguish right from wrong. The chief culprit that has caused the current complex, severe, and even tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait is the "Taiwan Independence" separatist forces and their "Taiwan Independence" activities.
As he mentioned earlier, some people on the island have recently dared to use "constitutional amendments" and other means to put forward the so-called "change of inherent territory" and other legal "Taiwan independence" separatist propositions.
It was their provocative activities that caused a solemn response from the mainland.
The relevant measures we have taken are aimed at the "Taiwan independence" forces and their separatist activities, and aimed at foreign forces' intervention and interference, not at the vast number of Taiwan compatriots.
If such activities can be stopped immediately and return to the common political stance of upholding the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence", the Taiwan Strait can return to peace and stability.
Second, we have repeatedly declared that we are willing to create a vast space for peaceful reunification, but we will never leave any space for various forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
Do not question our determination, will and ability on this point.
Finally, we call on the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots to distinguish right from wrong and to join us in opposing and containing "Taiwan independence." Only in this way can cross-strait relations return to the correct direction of peaceful development.
