On October 21, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. In response to Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Commission's recent statement prohibiting relevant people on the island from attending events commemorating the 160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth in mainland China, spokesman Zhang Han said in response to questions that this year marks the 160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth. We solemnly commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen to inherit and carry forward his lofty spirit of maintaining national unity and striving for national revitalization, uniting all Chinese sons and daughters, including his compatriots in Taiwan, resolutely cracking down on “Taiwan independence” division, opposing foreign interference, promoting cross-strait exchanges and integration, and working together to achieve the reunification of the motherland and national rejuvenation. She pointed out that the DPP administration did everything it could to prevent cross-strait exchanges, intimidate and suppress Taiwanese compatriots, and fully reveal their sinister intentions to betray the nation, betray history, split the country, and escalate the rivalry between the two sides of the Strait. It will surely be opposed and rejected by all the sons and daughters of China.
