TAIPEI, Oct 5 (Reuters) - It is "impossible" for the People's Republic of China
to become Taiwan's motherland because Taiwan has older political roots, the isla
nd's President Lai Ching-te said on Saturday.
Lai, who took office in May, is condemned by Beijing as a "separatist". He rejec
ts Beijing's sovereignty claims, saying that the island is a country called the
Republic of China, which traces its origins back to the 1911 revolution that ove
rthrew the last imperial dynasty.
The republican government fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war with M
ao Zedong's communists who set up the People's Republic of China, which continue
s to claim the island as its "sacred" territory.
Speaking at a concert ahead of Taiwan's national day celebrations on Oct. 10, La
i noted that the People's Republic had celebrated its 75th anniversary on Oct. 1
, and in a few days it would be the Republic of China's 113th birthday.
‘’Therefore, in terms of age, it is absolutely impossible for the People's Rep
ublic of China to become the 'motherland' of the Republic of China's people. On
the contrary, the Republic of China may be the motherland of the people of the P
eople's Republic of China who are over 75 years old," Lai added, to applause.
"One of the most important meanings of these celebrations is that we must rememb
er that we are a sovereign and independent country," he said.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office did not answer calls seeking comment outside of of
fice hours.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, in a speech on the eve of his country's national d
ay, reiterated his government's view that Taiwan was its territory.
Lai, who will give his own keynote national day address on Oct. 10, has needled
Beijing before with historical references.
Last month, Lai said that if China's claims on Taiwan were about territorial int
egrity then it should also take back land from Russia signed over by the last Ch
inese dynasty in the 19th century.

台北，10月5日（路透社）——台湾总统赖清德周六表示，中华人民共和国“不可能”成为
台湾的祖国，因为台湾拥有更悠久的政治根源。赖清德于今年五月上任，被北京谴责为“分
裂主义者”。他拒绝北京的主权主张，表示台湾是一个名为中华民国的国家，其起源可以追
溯到1911年推翻最后一个帝制王朝的革命。
1949年，国民政府在与毛泽东领导的共产党内战失败后逃往台湾，当时共产党成立了中华人
民共和国，并一直声称台湾是其“神圣”领土。赖清德在台湾10月10日国庆庆祝活动前的一
场音乐会上表示，中华人民共和国已于10月1日庆祝其成立75周年，而几天后将是中华民国1
13周年生日。
