The reunification of the motherland is an inevitable historical trend. The separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" and external interference cannot halt this trend, nor can they shake our resolve and determination to address the Taiwan issue and achieve national unification.

A reporter asked: The US recently announced a new round of arms sales to Taiwan, for which the Democratic Progressive Party authorities expressed gratitude and stated that they will continue to strengthen self-defense. What is the comment on this? Zhu Fenglian made the above remarks in response to the question.

Zhu Fenglian stated that we resolutely oppose the United States selling weapons to the Taiwan region of China, a stance that is consistent and clear. The U.S. has repeatedly violated its commitment by its leaders to not support "Taiwan independence," thereby encouraging "Taiwan independence" adventurism and undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region. We firmly oppose this and urge the U.S. to adhere to the One-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, particularly the "August 17th" communiqué, to cease arming Taiwan and stop sending any wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces.
