BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Friday said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority's reliance on the United States to confront the mainland and seek "Taiwan independence" will only lead to a dead end.
"Taiwan is part of China, and it cannot be changed by any individual or any force," said Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, in response to the DPP authority's "thankful" comments on the erroneous remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the Taiwan question.
The DPP's stubborn reliance on the United States to confront the mainland and seek "Taiwan independence" will accomplish nothing but harm themselves, Zhu added.
Pompeo had made repeated erroneous comments on the Taiwan question, thus seriously violating the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, she said.
Pompeo's related remarks run counter to the facts, the basic norms of the international community and the commitment made by the U.S. government to the Chinese side, she said.
