BEIJING - A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday denounced separatist remarks of Lai Ching-te, deputy leader of China's Taiwan region.
Zhu Fenglian reiterated that the 1992 Consensus is a common political foundation for cross-Strait dialogue and the Taiwan question is entirely an internal matter of China
Lai has hidden his "Taiwan independence" agenda under the so-called pursuit of "peace," said Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference in response to Lai's recent remarks on cross-Strait affairs.

"Taiwan independence" means war, and it has nothing to do with peace, Zhu said.
Zhu said that although Lai talked about cross-Strait dialogue and cooperation, he has never given up the strategy of seeking independence by military means and looking for external support for his separatist agenda.
