Mainland denounces slanderous report issued by Taiwan's DPP authorities
BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Thursday denounced a slanderous report issued by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities regarding the status of Taiwan compatriots on the mainland.
Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, told a press briefing that relevant claims made by the DPP authorities are nothing but their go-to tricks to vilify the mainland and intimidate the Taiwan people.
Through such claims, the DPP authorities attempt to disguise their malicious intent and action to thwart cross-Strait exchanges, incite confrontations and harm public interests, said Chen.
The mainland always welcomes and supports Taiwan compatriots to participate in cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation in various fields, Chen said.
It has created convenient conditions for Taiwan compatriots, provided high-quality services, and protected their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law, Chen added.
