> A spokesperson for mainland China criticized Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te’s latest remarks on cross-Strait relations, accusing him of promoting separatism, exaggerating a mainland threat and misleading the public. Zhang Han said Beijing would uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, oppose external interference and seek to deepen cross-Strait exchanges.
