The Taiwan Affairs Office responds to the Democratic Progressive Party authorities' fallacies about Huangyan Island.

On the morning of September 24th, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. Reporter: Regarding the State Council's approval of the establishment of the national nature reserve in Huangyan Island, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed that the mainland has no right to "illegally and unilaterally demarcate." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, Chen Binhua: Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China's territory, and China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Island and its nearby waters. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, and safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as defending the overall interests of the Chinese nation, is the shared responsibility of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities cooperate with external forces to deliberately provoke and betray the nation, which is despicable.
