China strongly condemns provocative move by Taiwan’s DPP to further collude with U.S.

BEIJING, SANA-An official of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee on Saturday strongly condemned the new provocative move by Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to further collude with the United States.

The official made the remarks in response to Lai Ching-te’s “stopover” through the United States, describing the move as Lai’s shameless efforts to cling to U.S. support to seek “Taiwan independence.”

Recently, Lai visited the United States in the name of “stopover” en route to attend the inauguration of Paraguay’s new president. Lai also propagated “Taiwan independence” rhetoric in an interview with Bloomberg, and met senior U.S. officials on public occasions in Paraguay, the official said.

The DPP authorities have stubbornly adhered to the separatist stance of “Taiwan independence,” continuously made provocations by relying on the United States to seek “Taiwan independence,” and willingly acted as a pawn for anti-China forces in the United States and in the West to contain China, the official said, adding that they have “betrayed the interests of the Chinese nation.”

Lai has stubbornly stuck to the “Taiwan independence” stance, the official said, adding that Lai’s latest “stopover” through the U.S. was a disguise he used to sell out the interests of Taiwan in order to seek gains in the local election through dishonest moves.
