China urges the United States to have a clear understanding of the highly sensitive nature of the Taiwan question, and to fully implement the commitments made by U.S. leaders, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Friday.

Lin made the remarks during a daily press briefing when responding to a media query. It has been reported that Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te recently participated in the New York Times DealBook Summit via pre-recorded video and made reckless remarks on the Taiwan Strait situation.

Lin said that some media outlets in the U.S. are providing a platform for the leader of the Taiwan authorities to spread false statements promoting "Taiwan independence" separatist rhetoric, which seriously violates the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, sending a very wrong message to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

"China firmly opposes this," he said.

He emphasized that Lai's relevant remarks and actions once again reveal his true nature as a separatist advocating for "Taiwan independence," as well as his plan to seek independence by relying on the U.S., once again demonstrating that he is a "peace destroyer" and a "troublemaker."

"Whatever Lai says or does is a futile attempt doomed to fail," the spokesperson said.
