Beijing, December 8 (Xinhua) — The resolution of the Taiwan issue is an entirely internal matter for the Chinese people, and any external interference is unacceptable, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on Monday.

The Chinese diplomat made the statement at a regular briefing for journalists, answering a question about the recently published US National Security Strategy.

Guo Jiakun emphasized that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. The Taiwan issue is at the core of China's core interests and represents the first red line in Sino-US relations that must not be crossed, he emphasized.

Guo Jiakun called on the United States to strictly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, fulfill the commitments of its leaders, exercise particular caution on the Taiwan issue, and stop encouraging and supporting separatist forces that seek "Taiwan independence" and try to resist reunification through military buildup.

“China’s determination and will to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity are firm and unwavering,” the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized. –0–
