The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, says that there will be a decisive reaction after the meeting between the president of the US House of Representatives and the president of Taiwan.
China’s diplomacy said today that a “decisive” response will be given after the meeting in the US between the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, and the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy.
“Responding to the seriously wrong acts of synergy between the US and Taiwan, China will take decisive and effective measures to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the New News Agency. China.
Chinese diplomacy demanded that Washington “stop following this wrong and dangerous path.”
China considers Taiwan its province, which remains to be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary, and sees any contact between Taiwanese officials and foreigners as a violation of its national sovereignty.
Returning from her tour of Central America, Ms. Tsai met with Mr. McCarthy and a delegation from the House of Representatives in California on Wednesday. The president praised Washington’s “unwavering” support for Taipei against Beijing.
In August 2022, following a visit to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi, Mr McCarthy’s predecessor, China held unprecedented multi-day military exercises around the island.
For its part, the Chinese Ministry of Defense announced that it will remain in a state of “vigilance” and fulfill its responsibilities and mission, while demanding that the US uphold its commitments on the Taiwan issue.
In the name of the “one China” policy, it is assumed that no country can have official relations with Beijing and Taipei at the same time.
Just 13 countries recognize Taiwan internationally, including Belize and Guatemala, which Ms Tsai visited this week to reaffirm the island’s relationship with their governments after a first “pass through” from New York. .
The US continues to implement the policy of so-called “strategic ambiguity” on the Taiwan issue. Washington has recognized Beijing since 1979, but remains Taipei’s main protectorate and its main arms supplier.
Support for the island is one of the few issues on which there is absolute consensus between the two parties in the US Congress. Under the presidency of Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan strengthened its relationship with the US more than ever.
