BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua said Wednesday that Taiwan is China’s Taiwan and the country will not allow any force to turn the island into a “hell.”
He made the statement in response to a media request to comment on a recent statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which he proposed strengthening Taiwan’s “self-defense capabilities” to intimidate mainland China, as well as a statement by the US military about a plan to create a “hellish picture” on the island.
The Taiwan issue is China’s internal affair and does not allow outside interference, Chen Binhua stressed, noting that some people in the United States are inflating tensions in the Taiwan Strait as a pretext for interfering in Taiwan affairs to help the U.S. military-industrial complex make profits. Their actions will sow chaos in Taiwan and the island’s people will be used as “cannon fodder,” Chen Binhua warned.
He called on the US to strictly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques, stop sending wrong signals to separatist forces advocating “Taiwan independence”, so as to avoid escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
He also criticized the Democratic Progressive Party administration in Taiwan for putting the people of Taiwan in a dangerous situation by closely following the US agenda for its own selfish political interests. -0-
