Lai's secessionist provocations will only strengthen reunification bid: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

The Taipei 101 skyscraper commands the urban landscape in Taipei, Taiwan. The United Nations' unequivocal demonstration of its stance on the one-China principle on Thursday dealt a heavy blow to not only the new secessionist-minded Taiwan administration head Lai Ching-te but also those "allies" Lai is counting on to help the island obtain membership of UN organizations. Although he called for resuming cross-Strait talks, repairing cross-Strait economic ties, and promoting exchanges between compatriots on both sides, he indicated that it could happen only with Taiwan as a "sovereign state", and that all its interactions with the mainland can only be carried out on an equal footing following "reciprocal" principles. He took advantage of the speech to try and define cross-Strait ties as "interstate" relations, exposing his intent as a radical secessionist. Had Lai cared about cross-Strait economic ties and exchanges between compatriots on both sides, he would not have tried to incite Taiwan residents to counter the mainland from a "position of strength" because of the island's so-called high-tech "strengths", economic "advantages", security "muscles", value "superiority" and "ally" network.
