Zhu Fenglian, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said: Democratic Progressive Party authorities' statement is totally confusing. The visiting delegation of teachers and students from mainland universities visited Taiwan for exchange, which was warmly welcomed and well-intentioned by the people of Taiwan Province, fully demonstrating that peace, development, exchange and cooperation are the mainstream public opinions on the island. We will continue to vigorously support and promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields to enhance the interests and well-being of people on both sides of the strait. At the same time, we resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatists' attempts to seek "independence" by linking with external forces and undermining cross-strait relations. Lai Qingde's wanderers visited the Pacific island countries and took the opportunity to "transit" the United States, peddled the "Taiwan independence" proposition under the guise of "democracy", misled the international audience, and attempted to "seek independence by relying on foreign countries" and "seek independence by force". We must counter and punish such provocations. It is hoped that the people of Taiwan Province will recognize the evil intention of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist stance, constantly provoke "independence" and raise the hostility between the two sides of the strait, recognize the serious harm of the "Taiwan independence" separatist, resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatist and foreign interference with us, and earnestly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and their own security and well-being.Business community: The melamine market with insufficient demand is mainly weak and volatile.
