‘Taiwan independence’ is a dead end, outsiders unreliable: Mainland spokesperson

 
When asked to comment on a recent survey released by Taiwan’s Academia Sinica, which found that 100 days into US President Donald Trump’s term, 46.7 percent of people in Taiwan island felt pessimistic about the future of the relations with the US, 60 percent were concerned that the US might harm Taiwan’s interests by reaching a deal with Chinese mainland, Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday that more and more people in Taiwan were realizing that “Taiwan independence” was a dead end, that outsiders were unreliable, and that the US always prioritized “America First.” 

People began to see that Taiwan was nothing more than a disposable pawn to the US, and that the lies fabricated by the DPP authorities about strong US support for Taiwan were becoming increasingly unconvincing, said the spokesperson.
