  In this regard, Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that Taiwan is part of China.

There is sufficient legal basis for the state to take punitive measures against "Taiwan independence" die-hards.

Anyone who endangers national sovereignty, security and development interests cannot escape the sanctions of national laws.

  Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that the DPP authorities and a small group of "Taiwan independence" diehards wantonly undermined cross-strait relations, repeatedly pushed Pelosi and US congressmen to go to Taiwan, and colluded with external forces to seek "independence" provocations.

Resolutely crack down on "Taiwan independence" diehards and stop "Taiwan independence" separatist acts in accordance with the law. This is a just move to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, an imperative to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and an inevitable requirement for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. Just, reasonable and legal.

If the DPP authorities continue to defy the general trend and righteousness, and allow the stubborn supporters of "Taiwan independence" to provoke or even resist to the end, we will take further necessary measures to resolutely thwart any attempt to split the country.
