BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) — The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and the Chinese people themselves should decide how to resolve it, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Monday.
The diplomat made this statement at a regular departmental press briefing in response to a relevant question, emphasizing that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Chinese side's position on the Taiwan issue remains consistent and clear.
She said China will pursue the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and utmost efforts, but will never allow any person or force to separate Taiwan from China by any means.
In response to another question regarding the German Foreign Minister's remarks on China's actions in the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea and South China Sea, Mao Ning recalled that the one-China principle is the political basis for establishing and developing diplomatic relations between China and the rest of the world, as well as the fundamental norm of international relations and the prevailing consensus of the international community.
As Mao Ning pointed out, in order to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it is necessary to unconditionally adhere to the one-China principle and resist the actions of separatists advocating for “Taiwan independence.”
Noting that the current situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is generally stable, Mao Ning called on relevant parties to respect the joint efforts of regional countries to resolve issues through dialogue and consultation and maintain peace and stability, rather than provoke contradictions and escalate tensions. –0–
