The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to the Democratic Progressive Party's plan to revise the New Taiwan Dollar.

On the morning of November 12, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. Reporter: The DPP authorities recently proposed a plan to redesign the New Taiwan Dollar, which has sparked criticism and condemnation. Some local media pointed out that spending a lot of money on redesigning, changing street names, etc., are all part of the DPP authorities' political tactics, with the aim of trying to remove all elements brought to Taiwan from the mainland and completely sever relations with the mainland. What is your comment on this? Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua: This is another deliberate attempt by the DPP authorities to "de-Chinaize". From modifying textbooks, deleting the term "Han Chinese", changing street names, to planning the redesign of the New Taiwan Dollar, the DPP authorities resort to all sorts of tricks in order to sever the historical and cultural ties between the two sides of the strait. These political manipulations are destined to be in vain, as the historical fact that both sides belong to One China cannot be changed, and the Taiwanese people's identification with the Chinese nation cannot be erased.
