2016年CRI Lee Teng-hui's Book ＂Betrays the Nation＂: Mainland

 

An Fengshan, spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, says the book sets Lee against his compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

"Lee Teng-hui's new book is filled with obvious references to 'Taiwan-independence' and traitorous¹ claims, and shows a colonial, enslavement mentality². The book once again exposes his die-hard Taiwan-independence stance, and his essence of being an enemy to people from both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The book has received strong condemnation³ from people on both sides of the Straits."

He stresses that the mainland resolutely⁴ opposes all forms of secessionist activities and will take measures to safeguard China's sovereign and territorial⁵ integrity.

"I want to stress that, China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been split since 1949, and the fact that Chinese mainland and Taiwan belong to one China has never changed. We will never allow separation of Taiwan from China by 'Taiwan-independence' force in any name or form."

The spokesperson reiterates⁶ the mainland's one China policy and promises no major change in the wake of the island's recent leadership elections.

When asked how the Chinese mainland will interact with the new administration, the spokesman says it will continue to promote peaceful development of ties across the Taiwan Straits and protect peace and stability in the region, on the political basis of the 1992 Consensus⁷ and opposition⁸ to Taiwan independence.

His words come about a month after Tsai Ing-wen, candidate for Taiwan's pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party or DPP, won the island's recent leadership elections, beating rival Kuomintang candidate Eric Chu.

Tsai has so far been reluctant to state her position on the issue of Taiwanese independence.

She is expected to take office on May 20.
