China Slams Taiwan’s Lai for Speech Mentioning Independence

  • On Sunday, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te declared Taiwan is "of course" a country during a speech in Istanbul, sparking backlash from Beijing.
  • China's Taiwan Affairs Office accused Lai of making a 'Taiwan independence' manifesto that distorted history and aimed to incite cross-Straits confrontation.
  • The office described Lai's speech as full of lies, fabrications, and separatist rhetoric that attempted to justify Taiwan's independence claim.
  • Spokesperson Chen Binhua said the speech served as propaganda for Lai's political agenda of a "mass recall" and accused him of hostility and provocation.
  • The event underscores persistent tensions as Beijing maintains Taiwan is Chinese territory, while Taipei insists on its sovereign status amid ongoing military and political pressure.
