China’s Defense Ministry Rejects Lai Ching-te’s ‘Double Ten’ Remarks on Taiwan

TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Chen Xi rejected Lai Ching-te’s so-called “Double Ten” speech, saying Taiwan is part of China and that this is the true status quo of the Taiwan Strait. Chen accused Lai of insisting on a “Taiwan independence” stance, distorting facts, hyping a so-called mainland military threat and inciting cross-strait confrontation in a bid to pursue independence by force and by relying on foreign support.
