On the voting days of previous Taiwanese presidential elections, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council kept a close eye on the whole process and worked overtime until late at night. The Taiwanese media in Beijing would also go to the downstairs communication room of the Taiwan Affairs Office office in Guang’anmen to grasp the mainland’s immediate response. In the past, Lanying won. During the election, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council would even come forward to speak. However, in 2016 and 2020, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council did not come forward, but still maintained the tradition of burning the midnight oil.
Taking this year as an example, reporters arrived at the office building of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council at around 6 p.m. The entire building was brightly lit, with vehicles coming and going from time to time. Even after the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council issued a statement at about 10 p.m., the lights on two or three floors were still not turned off. , and there are still vehicles entering and exiting. In addition, unlike in the past, this year the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council opened the press briefing hall for journalists to publish reports.
According to the paper reply provided by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Mainland China at the scene in the evening, it was titled “The spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council commented on the election results in Taiwan.”
According to the statement, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Mainland China, said on the evening of the 13th that the results of the two elections in Taiwan showed that the Democratic Progressive Party does not represent the mainstream public opinion on the island (referring to Taiwan). Taiwan is China’s Taiwan. This election cannot change the basic pattern and development direction of cross-Strait relations, nor can it change the common desire of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to get closer and closer, nor can it stop the general trend that the motherland will eventually be reunified and will inevitably be reunified.
Chen Binhua said that our stance on resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving national reunification is as solid as a rock. We will adhere to the “1992 Consensus” that embodies the one-China principle, resolutely oppose “Taiwan independence” separatist actions and interference from external forces, and work with relevant political parties, groups and people from all walks of life in Taiwan to promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-Strait integrated development, and jointly promote China culture, promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and promote the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
