Meanwhile, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) condemned China's Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) for alleging that Taiwan's ruling party was engaging in "political manipulation" and had lost public backing, as reported by the Taipei Times.
TAO spokesman Chen Binhua stated that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) "has faced a decline in popular support and its policies contradict the genuine mainstream public sentiment in Taiwan," following the failed recall votes against 24 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers the previous day.
He further claimed that the DPP acts as though it has a "fundamental stance on Taiwan independence" and harbours an "ambition for one-party control," according to the Taipei Times report.
He accused the DPP of "neglecting the welfare of Taiwanese and frequently inciting political conflict, suppressing opponents by any means, and aggravating societal divisions."
He argued that these actions have "revealed the party's facade of democracy and illustrated its true authoritarian nature." (ANI)
