Taiwan's DPP warned to keep out of SAR's affairs

The mainland's Taiwan affairs authority said the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, the ruling party of the island, has played a disgraceful role in the recent chaos in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, strongly condemned the DPP on Tuesday over remarks made on Monday by Cho Jung-tai, DPP chairman, saying Cho slandered the principle of "one country, two systems".

"He was trying to stir up trouble in Hong Kong. He also wanted to smear the mainland and the principle of 'one country, two systems' so as to gain votes for the coming election. Such an attempt is doomed to fail," Ma said.
