Ministry of National Defense: "Taiwan Independence" is Already at a Dead End

On the afternoon of May 28, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference, where Colonel Jiang Bin, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, answered reporters' questions.

Reporter: According to reports, during his visit to China, U.S. President Trump stated in an interview that he does not wish for Taiwan to be "independent," and the U.S. has no intention of waging a war 9,500 miles away for Taiwan. Lai Ching-te absurdly claims that Taiwan will never become a bargaining chip, "defending the status quo of the 'Republic of China'," and that there is "no issue of 'Taiwan independence'." What is your comment on this?

Jiang Bin: "Taiwan independence" and peace in the Taiwan Strait are mutually exclusive; maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the greatest common denominator for both China and the U.S. Lai Ching-te has openly called himself a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker," and now he hypocritically claims that "there is no issue of 'Taiwan independence'." This is merely a disguise after being harshly confronted by reality, and it precisely indicates that pursuing "Taiwan independence" has reached a dead end, and the fantasy of relying on the U.S. to seek independence will ultimately be shattered.
