The attempts by "Taiwan independence" and "Hong Kong independence" factions to split the nation will never succeed, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Friday while responding to a relevant query.

She warned that the DPP's indulgence of such activities not only involves political manipulation but also poses significant threats to Taiwan's social harmony, which will inevitably lead to chaos and force the DPP authorities to reap the consequences of their own actions.
