“China had offered Nauru money far in excess of what Taiwan provides its allies. Once again, it proves that China's trying everything they can - money diplomacy - to repress us.”

“Chinese drones came in a pair and flew into the Kinmen area twice on Wednesday night, at about 9pm (13:00 GMT) and 10pm (14:00 GMT). We immediately fired flares to issue warnings and to drive them away. After that, they turned around. They came into our restricted area and that's why we dispersed them.”

“Based on the released information about the PLA drills from August 4 to 7, the six locations have already encircled the island of Taiwan from all directions, and it could be a series of unprecedented military exercises aimed at realizing reunification by force and also to fight against the external forces that could interrupt the reunification process.”

“China won't allow another case like 'Pelosi's visit' to happen again, which means we won't let this visit to set a bad example for more countries such as the UK, France and Germany to follow suit, further hollowing out our sovereignty over Taiwan.”

“Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shown again these regimes will stop at nothing in the pursuit of expansionist goals. As we watch images from half a world away of atrocities committed against another democracy on the frontlines of authoritarian expansionism, I would like to stress that, like Ukraine, Taiwan will not bend to pressure.”

“If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost.

“We urge relevant US politicians to earnestly abide by the one-China principle, and immediately stop official exchanges with Taiwan in any form and refrain from sending any wrong signals to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces. China will continue to take forceful measures to resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“There is but one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The current situation across the Taiwan Strait faces a new round of tension. The root cause is that the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly tried to seek 'Taiwan independence' by soliciting US support, while some in the US intend to contain China with the Taiwan question. The US and Taiwan have colluded with each other, and certain individual deliberately draws parallel between Taiwan and Ukraine despite they are two fundamentally different issues. Their aim is to mislead the public and profit from that. It is such move of playing with fire that would change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwan question is a legacy of the Chinese civil war. China must and will be reunified. We will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and efforts. That being said, we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures in response to the interference of foreign forces and the secessionist activities of a handful of 'Taiwan independence' separatists. The so-called 'Taiwan Relations Act' unilaterally concocted by the US side runs counter to the principles of the three China-US joint communiqués and basic norms governing international relations. China has been firmly opposed to it since the very beginning. The US has no right to put its domestic law above international law, still less use it as a pretext to meddle in China's internal affairs. On the Taiwan question, the US should abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, not the so-called 'Taiwan Relations Act'. The US should abide by the one-China principle and stipulations in the three China-US joint communiqués, cut off official interactions and military ties with Taiwan, stop arms sales to Taiwan and take concrete actions to fulfill its commitment of not supporting 'Taiwan independence'.”

“Once the National Congress of the Communist Party of China is over in the fall of 2022, the scenario of armed unification will move toward becoming a reality. It is very likely that the leadership will move toward armed unification by 2027, the 100th anniversary of the PLA's [People's Liberation Army] founding.”

“We are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification. But if 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces continue to provoke and coerce, or even cross any red line, we will have to take decisive measures. The pursuit of independence will only throw Taiwan into a deep chasm and bring about profound catastrophe.”

“We must remind the Beijing authorities to not misjudge the situation and to prevent the internal expansion of 'military adventurism'. Authorities in Beijing should stop the spread of military adventurism within their ranks. The use of military means is absolutely not an option for resolving the differences between our two sides. To ease tension in the region, both Taipei and Beijing must work hard to take care of people's livelihoods and calm the hearts of the people in order to find peaceful solutions to problems together. We will hold fast to our sovereignty, uphold the values of freedom and democracy, defend territorial sovereignty and national security, and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“Looking forward, Beijing may intensify efforts to interfere in Taiwan's politics over the next two years. Even though China's leaders are facing headwinds, they still have bandwidth and incentive to try to create a political environment in Taiwan conducive to their preferences for the 2024 election. Beijing almost surely will seek to create disfavor for candidates it opposes and tailwinds for candidates that support its vision for the development of cross-Strait relations.”

“The mainland encourages and supports normal business exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and protects the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and companies in accordance with the law. However, no one or company is allowed to sabotage cross-Straits relations by providing financial aid to secessionists while making money on the mainland. This attitude is clear and consistent, and Taiwan companies investing in the mainland are well aware of it. There is no room for ambiguity about whether to adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, and whether to oppose or support secessionists.”

“It is inappropriate for China to link legal matters with politics. The episode could be worrisome for Taiwanese businesspeople. Far Eastern has made donations to not only the DPP, but also to the KMT [Kuomintang] and other parties. This is what it has to do, but it doesn't necessarily mean it supports Taiwanese independence.”

“The current sanction is restricted to Far Eastern Group, and its magnitude does not seem overly costly. But what is important is its signaling effect both to foreign and Taiwanese businesses, as well as to the Chinese public, that the Chinese government shall not tolerate any bit of Taiwanese independence movement or support.”

“The general public on the mainland is getting increasingly impatient with the actions of Taiwan secessionists that have been dissipating our energy. And the voices that demand the country's reunification by force are getting louder and louder. The US and the secessionist forces in Taiwan must understand that no matter whether Beijing sends its military aircraft over the island, shoots down some of Taiwan's warplanes, or sends a ship to ram a provocative US warship, it will surely be welcomed by the people on the mainland. The government of the mainland has already been authorized by its people in advance to punish Taiwan secessionists by force.”
