The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) has protested against the use of a building resembling Taiwan’s Presidential Office in China’s recent military exercises.
MAC spokeswoman Wu Mei-hung criticized the move in a routine press conference on Thursday. She said that footage showing the building has provoked anger in Taiwanese society. She also said that the Mainland military’s actions have not helped the two sides further relations.
Wu said China has not given up its policy of using force to bring Taiwan under its control. She called on China to change its policy and to cherish the progress of cross-strait relations over the past seven years.
China sees Taiwan as part of its territory, even though the two sides have been ruled separately for more than 60 years.
