Bishkek, January 4 (Xinhua) — Currently, the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is separatist actions by forces advocating "Taiwan independence," as well as external connivance and support for these actions. China will never waver in its resolve to defend national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Liu Jiangping stated in a written interview with the Vecherniy Bishkek publishing house on Sunday.
Liu Jiangping noted that Taiwan has been an inalienable part of Chinese territory since time immemorial. "The one-China principle—that is, the recognition that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is its inalienable part, and the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing all of China—has long been a recognized consensus of the international community and a fundamental norm of international relations," the diplomat stated.
According to her, the fundamental status quo in the Taiwan Strait is that both shores belong to one China. "I want to emphasize that attempts to achieve 'Taiwan independence' mean the division of China's territory, and supporting such attempts constitutes interference in China's internal affairs, which violates both the PRC Constitution and international law," the Chinese ambassador stated.
The US recently announced arms sales to Taiwan, China, totaling over $11.1 billion. Commenting on this, Liu Jiangping stated that the Taiwan issue is China's most important core interest and represents the first red line in Sino-US relations, which must not be crossed.
"Such actions grossly violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, seriously undermine China's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, send false and dangerous signals to separatist forces advocating 'Taiwan independence,' and undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," she said. "The US's attempts to 'support independence through weaponry' will ultimately backfire, and the strategy of 'using Taiwan to contain China' is doomed to failure."
Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made a number of erroneous statements regarding China's Taiwan. According to Liu Jiangping, the Taiwan issue is a purely internal Chinese matter, not open to interference from any external forces.
"Strict adherence to the one-China principle is Japan's political commitment to China and international law, which cannot be evaded," she emphasized. "The Chinese people consistently advocate peace and good-neighborliness, but on issues related to state sovereignty and territorial integrity, they will not allow any concessions."
The year 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II. "The countries of the anti-fascist coalition, including China and Kyrgyzstan, fearlessly fought shoulder to shoulder against the invaders and achieved final victory," the ambassador stated, adding that the international community must firmly defend the correct view of the history of World War II, resolutely resist any attempts to distort it, and consistently support the international system, with the UN at its core, and an international order based on international law.
"We must advance an equitable and orderly multipolarity, as well as a transparent and inclusive economic globalization, deepen mutual learning among civilizations, and promote universal values. We must strengthen cooperation in global governance to effectively address common challenges and protect our shared planet," Liu Jiangping emphasized.
In recent years, China has successively put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. Liu Jiangping stated that, by implementing these initiatives, China is ready to join forces with Kyrgyzstan and other countries to ensure global peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
