BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Tuesday stressed that Lai Ching-te and his ilk, who trumpet "Taiwan independence" separatist rhetoric, will only push Taiwan to the brink of war.
Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the statement when asked for comments on Lai's recent separatist remarks.
Noting that Lai has used his "stopover" visit to the United States to spread the "Taiwan independence" fallacy, Zhu said his words and acts have once again proved that he is indeed a "worker for 'Taiwan independence'" and an out-and-out "troublemaker."
The so-called "peace" demagoguery Lai preaches is an utter lie, the spokesperson said. ■
