Both sides of Straits should scorn Lee Teng-hui's ridiculous remarks

During his latest visit to Japan, former Taiwan leader Lee Teng-hui in his 90s again denied the One-China policy, claiming that the Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan and the country's new security bills are conducive to Asian stability. China on Friday voiced grave concern and strong dissatisfaction over Japan's decision to allow the "stubborn Taiwan separatist" to visit Japan. Comments:

What Lee said in Japan has made compatriots from both sides of the Taiwan Straits see more clearly the extreme harm "Taiwan independence" forces do to the peaceful development of the cross-Straits relations and the integral interests of the Chinese nation. Li's remarks about "Taiwan independence" and his praise of Japan's colonization of Taiwan will surely be scorned by compatriots on both sides of the Straits.
