Experts on cross-Strait relations said as Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen conducted political activities in the United States under the guise of a "transit" trip, which in essence was a provocation aimed at seeking "Taiwan independence" by relying on the United States, it is completely justified, reasonable and necessary for Chinese authorities to take countermeasures.
"The anti-China forces in the United States hit it off with Tsai Ing-wen, openly supporting Tsai Ing-wen's 'Taiwan independence' provocation, and attempting to set up obstacles to China's reunification, curb China's development and progress, and obstruct the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by playing the 'Taiwan card'." Zhu Songling, professor of the Institute of Taiwan Studies at Beijing Union University, stressed: The historical context of the Taiwan issue is clear, and the historical and legal facts of Taiwan as a part of China cannot be questioned.
People on both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to the Chinese nation and share the same ancestors, and the two sides should work together to achieve the revitalization of the nation, a former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party said on Tuesday.
