The Democratic Progressive Party authorities requested to start using "Taiwanese independence" materials in September. The Taiwan Affairs Office: It will definitely face strong opposition and condemnation from compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A journalist asked: The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have requested to use 13 additional textbooks titled "Recognizing and Reading Threats from China" at the beginning of the new semester in September. Public opinion on the island criticized this move as a systematic brainwashing for "Taiwan independence", which will seriously harm the cognitive abilities of young people on the island and cross-strait relations. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua stated that the DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist position, promoting "de-Sinicization", ignoring history, distorting facts, and attempting to use "Taiwan independence" textbooks to sever the historical and cultural link between the two sides of the strait, causing confusion in the historical memory and distortion of national identity for the younger generation in Taiwan. Such actions of forgetting one's roots and going against the tide will inevitably be strongly opposed and condemned by compatriots on both sides of the strait. Those who use their power to distort and tamper with the fact that Taiwan is part of China in the field of education will also be punished.
