China’s ultimate goal is Taiwan’s annihilation: MACBy Chen Yu-fu, Hollie Younger and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writers and ReutersThe Mainland Affairs Council yesterday dismissed Beijing’s call for “reunification,” describing it as a rehash of its longstanding stance with the ultimate goal of Taiwan’s annihilation. Wang also called for facilitating people-to-people and primary-level exchanges, and supporting Taiwanese compatriots, especially young people, seeking to study, work and live in China, Xinhua said. While Beijing stressed the need to uphold the so-called “one China” principle and “1992 consensus,” the logical end is Taiwan’s annihilation, it said. Beijing’s creation of task forces at the conference was “a form of aggression against Taiwan,” Taiwan Economic Democracy Union convener Lai Chung-chiang (賴中強) said. He urged people to recognize which candidates are supported by the CCP and be aware of China’s election interference tactics.
