China will never allow foreign interference in internal affairs, US must respect one-China principle

AFP: ...Secondly, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview that "we have commitments... to make sure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself. He added that there are many countries that would take action if they see any unilateral action to use force to disrupt the status quo."What's your response?

Wang Wenbin: ...
On your second question, I want to stress that relevant remarks by the US side disregard facts and violate international law. The one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques are the foundation for the establishment of diplomatic ties and the sound development of China-US relations. The Taiwan Relations Act unilaterally formulated by the US is illegal, null and void, as it goes against the commitment the US made in the three joint communiques and puts its domestic laws above international obligations. China never allows the US to wantonly violate China's sovereignty and interfere in China's internal affairs citing any reasons or with any excuses. The US should take real actions to abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiques, speak and act prudently and stop sending any wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces.

There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China. This is not only a historical and legal fact that cannot be changed, but also a status quo that cannot be challenged. The one-China principle is a universally recognized norm governing international relations and the consensus of the international community. Resolution 2758 of the United Nations General Assembly recognized "the representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations", and decided to "expel the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it". When Resolution 2758 was under negotiation, the "dual representation" draft resolution proposed by the US and a few other countries to create "two Chinas" failed to pass, which fundamentally denied the representation of Taiwan in the UN. Relevant UN documents pointed out explicitly that "the United Nations considers 'Taiwan' as a province of China with no separate status", and the "authorities in Taipei are not considered to ... enjoy any form of governmental status".

The one-China principle is recognized and supported by 180 countries in the world. The landscape of the international community upholding the one-China principle is becoming ever more solid and China's reunification has become an unstoppable trend of history. The root cause of the current tensions across the Taiwan Strait is that the Taiwan authorities and a handful of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces try to negate and challenge the one-China principle and expand the space of "Taiwan independence" activities, which has been firmly rejected by the Chinese government and the international community. All acts to challenge the one-China principle and resist the trend of reunification will be resolutely foiled. All attempts to support the "Taiwan independence" separatist acts and go against the trend of history will end in failure.
