The Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, warned today through a statement to the United States and its allies that if they continue to try “progress on the Taiwan issue, they will pay a price” and added that the “reunification process peaceful ”with Taiwan is“ unstoppable ”.
Wang, who is in Rome today participating in the G20 meeting, was responding to a statement published this week by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken , which supported “the participation of Taiwan in the United Nations system.”
Chinese government representatives warned the United States earlier this week that its support for Taiwan could pose “great risks” to relations between Beijing and Washington .
Today, the Chinese minister reiterated that “the history and legal facts of the ‘one China, only China’ policy are indisputable and the progress of 1.4 billion people in China to promote the peaceful reunification of the motherland is unstoppable.” .
«The future of Taiwan does not go through any other path than its reunification with the mainland. Except for being part of China, Taiwan has no other status in international law, “he asserted.
Countries that “deliberately” insist on their proposals on the Taiwan issue will have to bear the consequences, according to their statements in a statement posted on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“They couldn’t stop the ‘one China’ principle 50 years ago , and they are even less likely to do so today in the 21st century. If they insist on going their own way, they will definitely pay a price ”, he warned.
Taiwan prepares to protect its democracy
The President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen , said several days ago that her country lives in constant threat with China and confirmed the presence of a small number of US troops to help train the island’s army. The Taiwanese leader also noted that the island is the center of growing tensions between the United States and China.
In this sense, he argued that the island of 23 million people “strives every day to protect our democracy and ensure that our people have the kind of freedom they deserve,” said Tsai Ing-wen.
In an interview with the US network CNN, the president praised the democratic values of her country and described it as a “beacon” of democracy in the region that faces its giant neighbor, whose threat grows “every day .”
