Lai authorities trying to hijack public opinion

China Daily  

The Taipei 101 skyscraper commands the urban landscape in Taipei, Taiwan. The Lai Ching-te authorities of Taiwan have responded to the latest guidelines Beijing released on the punishments for Taiwan secessionists according to the law by alleging that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait do not belong to each other and the Chinese mainland has no jurisdiction rights over the island. In other words, punishing the secessionists is a due obligation of the country to defend its national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and is also a just act to safeguard the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. The Lai authorities deliberately confuse the vast majority of Taiwan residents with the handful of secessionists, attempting to take the opportunity to intimidate Taiwan residents, hijack public opinion, and drag Taiwan compatriots into the "Taiwan independence" camp. What Taiwan residents demand is not the blocking of exchanges across the Strait but that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities lift restrictions and obstructions to promote exchanges.
