The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to questions about Lai Ching-te taking a ride on the Swaziland king's "private plane". Question: According to reports, Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te arrived in Swaziland on May 2 by taking the Swaziland king's "private plane". What is China's comment on this? Lai Ching-te, just hours after an earthquake in Yilan, disregarded the welfare of the people and secretly boarded a foreign plane to leave Taiwan, extravagantly wasting public funds and staging a "smuggling-style" escapade, becoming the laughingstock of the international community and adding to the list of "Taiwan independence" disgraceful behaviors. Their humiliating experience in the international community once again demonstrates that the One China principle has long become a fundamental norm in international relations and a common consensus in the international community. No matter how the Democratic Progressive Party authorities collude with external forces or "nurture others" in any form, it is futile and cannot change the fact that Taiwan is a part of China. No matter how "Taiwan independence" separatist forces try to hide and mutate, they cannot change their fate of being universally condemned and having to flee. We advise countries like Swaziland to see the big picture of history, follow the trends of the times, and not to be used by a small number of "Taiwan independence" separatists.
