A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday warned against Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for stirring up hostility between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks at a regular press conference. She responded to a reporter's question on the news that a Taiwan region's F-16 fighter jet reportedly missing earlier this month eventually landed in the Chinese mainland, citing a "rumor" spotted on the internet.
Zhu said that the DPP and certain forces in the island region are trying to shift the focus and creating confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, adding that the Chinese internet network is regulated according to the law.
