Beijing, December 31 (Xinhua) — Several dozen countries have expressed support for China in various forms following its new retaliatory measures and military exercises related to the situation in the Chinese region of Taiwan. China highly appreciates these countries' firm support, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday.
China has reportedly recently taken reciprocal and edifying measures on Taiwan-related issues. Following People's Liberation Army exercises near Taiwan, numerous countries, including Russia, Cuba, Serbia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Pakistan, expressed their support for China.
Answering a question on the matter at a regular press briefing, Lin Jian said these countries reaffirmed their firm commitment to the one-China principle, opposed external interference in China's internal affairs, and expressed support for China's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"In particular, they emphasized that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory, the Taiwan question is China's internal affair, and separatist activities aimed at achieving 'Taiwan independence' in any form must be rejected. We highly appreciate the firm support of these countries," the Chinese diplomat noted.
"We reiterate that China will never waver in its determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. China will never waver in its resolve to uphold national reunification and the country's interests. China will never waver in its resolve to prevent separatists advocating 'Taiwan independence' from colluding with external forces and destabilizing the situation in the Taiwan Strait," he stated.
Anyone who crosses the line or makes provocations regarding the Taiwan issue will face a decisive response from China, Lin Jian stressed, adding that all attempts to obstruct China's reunification will inevitably fail.
