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Beijing before with historical references.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）——台灣總統賴清德週六表示，中華人民共和國「不可能」成為
台灣的祖國，因為台灣擁有更悠久的政治根源。賴清德於今年五月上任，被北京譴責為「分
裂主義者」。他拒絕北京的主權主張，表示台灣是一個名為中華民國的國家，其起源可以追
溯到1911年推翻最後一個帝制王朝的革命。
1949年，國民政府在與毛澤東領導的共產黨內戰失敗後逃往台灣，當時共產黨成立了中華人
民共和國，並一直聲稱台灣是其「神聖」領土。賴清德在台灣10月10日國慶慶祝活動前的一
場音樂會上表示，中華人民共和國已於10月1日慶祝其成立75週年，而幾天後將是中華民國1
13週年生日。
