On October 21, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recent polls on the island have shown that about 60% of Taiwanese youth believe that Taiwan cannot rely on the United States and support proactive dialogue and negotiations with the mainland. This is in sharp contrast to the "anti-China" atmosphere long instigated by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities.Do you have any comment on this?

Spokesperson Zhang Han said that peace, development, exchanges and cooperation are the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan society.The Democratic Progressive Party authorities stubbornly adhere to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence", kowtow to external forces, cater to external forces, flatter the United States and kneel to the United States without principles, betray Taiwan and harm Taiwan without a bottom line, do their best to obstruct cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and incite cross-strait antagonism and confrontation.The majority of Taiwan compatriots, including Taiwanese youth, are seeing it more and more clearly, and are increasingly opposed to the perverse actions of the DPP authorities.On the basis of the common political basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence," we are willing to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with people from all walks of life in Taiwan, promote the peaceful and integrated development of cross-Strait relations, enhance the family well-being of our compatriots, and jointly create a bright future for cross-Strait relations.
