The Taiwan Affairs Office warns the DPP authorities: Those who forget their roots will never have a good ending.

On June 4th, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office answered questions from reporters. A reporter asked about the recent statement by the Taiwan Affairs Office claiming that the Second Strait Culture Summit between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait was a "highly united front activity" and not just a simple cultural and educational exchange between the two sides. They also threatened to investigate and punish Taiwanese entrepreneurs who express their Chinese identity and identification with Chinese culture at the event. What is your comment on this? The spokesperson stated that compatriots from both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same roots and culture, and are like one big family with blood ties and shared destiny. Chinese culture has a long history and profound significance, serving as the spiritual roots and belonging of people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The Strait Culture Summit is a grand gathering for cultural exchange between people from both sides, and the second summit held recently focused on the theme of "inheritance, development, and promotion". Over 800 representatives from various cultural and academic fields on both sides gathered to discuss ways to inherit and promote Chinese culture. Taiwanese participants at the summit expressed their identification with the idea of being one family and all being Chinese, and stated their commitment to the responsibility and mission of cultural inheritance. This is their freedom and right, as well as a genuine reflection of the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, which desires peace, development, communication, and cooperation. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, in pursuit of their "independence" political interests, have ignored the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and exaggerated the so-called "United Front threat", inciting "anti-China" sentiments and threatening and suppressing Taiwanese groups and individuals who support peaceful development of cross-strait relations and participate in cross-strait cultural exchanges. Their actions further obstruct and restrict cross-strait exchanges, creating a "chilling effect" and engaging in "terror politics" and "green dictatorship". Their aggressive behavior and malicious intentions have been opposed and condemned by the public opinion and people on both sides of the strait. The DPP is warned that those who forget their ancestors' teachings will never have a good ending, and their actions that go against public opinion are destined to fail.
