Annette Lu: Engages in Splittism and Confrontation under Cover of Peace

Recently, "Taiwan independence" element Annette Lu carefully engineered and organized so-called "world peace, Taiwan voice" activity in the Island. This is another farce of splittism and confrontation by which she advocates "Taiwan independence" under the signboard of "peace".

It is well known that as early as after the conclusion of World War II, Taiwan was returned to China both de jure and de facto, the Taiwan issue is a product left over from the civil war between China's Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the fact that the Taiwan issue long remains unresolved is the result of the "Taiwan independence" and splittist force and certain external forces' sedulous obstruction and intervention done out of the consideration of their own interests. The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government have since the 1950s striven to settle the Taiwan question peacefully, for example: in 1955, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the late Premier Zhou Enlai openly expressed the wish of "peacefully liberating Taiwan"; in the early 1960s, the CPC Central Committee summed up the tentative plan as "one outline and four items" for peacefully solving the Taiwan issue; after 1979 it further put forward the "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems" program; in 1995, General Secretary Jiang Zemin set forth a more concrete and practical eight-point proposal for promoting the process of developing cross-Strait relationship and the peaceful reunification of the motherland". In recent years, the mainland has made tremendous efforts for boosting the development of cross-Strait relationship and gradually realizing the goal of peaceful reunification and the practical work such as cross-Strait people-to-people exchange and business negotiation, all these have given full expression to the sincerity and goodwill of the Chinese government for the peaceful solution of the Taiwan issue.

However, some "Taiwan independence" elements and separatists in Taiwan Island, working hand in glove with international anti-China forces, have deliberately tried to separate Taiwan from the Chinese territory. They refuse to accept the one-China principle, reject the "1992 Consensus" reached between the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and even do not admit that they themselves are Chinese, this has greatly hurt the feelings of the entire Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, goes against the long-term interest and development of the Chinese nation, and endangers China's national security and peace between the two sides of the Straits. In view of this, the Chinese government, while basing itself on peacefully solving the Taiwan issue, cannot promise to renounce the use of force, but this is by no means directed against the Taiwan people, but against anti-China and anti-Communist external forces and Taiwan splitting forces. Apparently, without the anti-China and anti-Communist forces and the splitting forces, there would not be such a problem as "not renouncing the use of force". Force aims entirely at defending the integrity and sacredness and inviolability of the Chinese territory. This is the necessary security precaution of any sovereign State. Annette Lu reverses cause and effect, obstinately clings to her "Taiwan independence" splittist advocacy, ferments feelings of estrangement between natives of Taiwan and those from other provinces in the Island, splits up clansmen, creates tension in cross-Strait relations, undermines the foundation of cross-Strait peace and causes secret worry about peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region, this fire player who recklessly practices splittism shifts the blame "threat to peace" onto the mainland and dresses up the "Taiwan independence" separatist force as "peace emissary", this is really an act of blaspheming peace!

At the conference, Annette Lu sedulously arranged a discussion among participants on questions such as whether the CPC's 'one China' is a road to peace, or an obstacle to the march toward peace? And how can this obstacle be removed?" "How should the international community first make commitment to Taiwan before Taiwan can join the international community?" And "In what form can the international community get involved in cross-Strait mediation and assistance and maintain long-lasting world peace?" Obviously, her real aim is not to find any solution to the issue, but instead deliberately fabricate a question and include the answer in the question and induce the participants into the trap she has set up in advance, thereby giving them the impression that "Taiwan is a peace maker, not a trouble maker", and proceed " to give voice" and "to speak out for Taiwan" on the Island in August and in the United Nations in September; she aims to take advantage the good wishes of the world people for peace, under the cover of "peace", she awaits an opportunity to peddle her "Taiwan independence" separatist advocacy, negates the one-China principle unanimously acknowledged and respected by the mainstream international community, and resists the historical tide of China's peaceful reunification; she aims to introduce external force in an attempt to internationalize the Taiwan issue. However, diehard "Taiwan independence" element Annette Lu invariably miscalculates the objective reality and underestimates the strength of her opponent, she repeatedly follows the same old road. No wonder sometimes she is wide about seizing the maniac, and sometimes she feels that "others are intoxicated and only I remains sober", she is "quite sentimental".

But this time, on the contrary, she does run wild and fails to seize the maniac, on the contrary, she has turned herself into a madwoman! Annette Lu often uses abusive words to hurt the Chinese mainland, or disregards the well-being of the Taiwan people, she spends a huge sum of money on patching up a so-called "voice-giving conference" that blasphemes peace, or she criticizes this and condemns that concerning the consensus reached at the "economic development meeting" under way in the Island on opening cross-Strait economic and trade relations, her ugly performances not only are unhelpful to matters, on the contrary, she is spurned by the world's people.

Realizing complete reunification of the country is the wish of the entire Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, is where the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation lie and concerns ensuring the stability and lasting peace in the Taiwan Straits. Annette Lu attempts to deceive international public opinion through holding a "world peace meeting", to cover people's eyes and ears under the shop sign of "peace", secretly peddles her "Taiwan independence" separatist stuffs and attempts to rig up international forces to meddle in the Taiwan issue and internationalize the Taiwan issue, this can only prove that she is another "trouble-maker" after Lee Teng-hui and is one who plays with fire to create disasters. The so-called "world peace meeting" is nothing but another separatism-purported farce she herself writes and performs.



This article by Yang Zi commenting on the farce, "peaceful splittism", written and performed by Annette Lu herself, is published on Page 3 of People's Daily (Overseas Edition) August 20.
