In a strongly worded statement on Friday, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, issued a stark warning to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatists, emphasizing that their continued actions would lead to their own downfall. Chen specifically targeted Shen Pao-yang, a prominent figure in the ‘Taiwan independence’ movement, who is currently under criminal investigation by mainland authorities for alleged acts of secession. Shen, also known as Puma Shen, recently made provocative remarks during a hearing at the German federal parliament, the Bundestag, asserting his defiance against Chinese pressure. Chen dismissed Shen’s activities and those of the Democratic Progressive Party as ‘sneaky’ and a ‘self-directed farce,’ highlighting their growing desperation as they face the consequences of their separatist agenda. ‘The more frenzied the ‘Taiwan independence’ separatists become on this dead-end path, the sooner they will perish,’ Chen stated, adding that they would face the ‘judgment of justice and a fate of disgrace.’ The mainland’s firm stance underscores its unwavering commitment to national sovereignty and territorial integrity, reiterating that any attempts to divide China are doomed to fail.
