CCTV News: On the morning of May 14, 2025, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference, and the spokesperson answered reporters' questions on recent hot cross-strait issues.
Reporter: Taiwanese media reported that the DPP authorities stepped up the procurement of "Patriot" missiles and dispatched the Taiwan Marines to form a combat team to protect the "Greater Taipei Region", and conducted many exercises to deal with the "People's Liberation Army's Attack on Taiwan." Public opinion on the island believes that these actions are preparing for Lai Qingte's "escape at the last minute". What are your comments on this?
Chen Binhua: No matter how many weapons the DPP authorities buy or how many "exercises" they carry out, they cannot change the end of "Taiwan independence" and will not stop the historical trend of inevitable reunification of the motherland. The DPP authorities and politicians are well aware of this, but in order to seek political self-interest, they clamor for "anti-China and Taiwan" and repeatedly "provoked and triggered war", completely disregarding the lives and death of the people, and dragging Taiwanese compatriots to take the "Taiwan independence"; on the other hand, they plan a retreat for themselves and want to escape. This behavior is sinister and despicable. We will never let the culprit of "Taiwan independence" be held accountable for life and give historical judgment and justice punishment.
