[Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ attempt to “kneel to the United States and betray Taiwan” will not succeed] On October 21, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to foreign media reports, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have agreed to purchase 30% of the natural gas planned for the Alaska LNG pipeline in the United States, and will invest an additional US$4.4 billion to ensure the completion of the LNG project. Some public opinion on the island believes that the development costs and risks of this project are extremely high. Many international energy giants have refused to participate in investment, and they have not allowed the DPP authorities to bring Taiwan's interests to the negotiating table and leave the bill to the Taiwanese people. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Spokesperson Zhang Han said that the DPP authorities "kneel to the United States and betray Taiwan" and their attempt to "rely on the United States and seek independence" will not succeed. (CCTV News)
