On the same day, China's two "diplomatic veterans" expounded their stance on Taiwan in the United States!
Recently, China's position on the Taiwan issue has once again been strongly expressed. Liu Jianchao, director of the CPC's ** International Liaison Department, and Xie Feng, Chinese ambassador to the United States, who are currently on a visit to the United States, respectively expounded China's position on the Taiwan issue in the United States. This statement is of great significance to the current complex international relations, and also demonstrates to the world China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Liu Jianchao: The Taiwan issue is the core of core interests and a red line that cannot be crossed.
According to Hong Kong's China Review Press, Liu Jianchao, who used to be China's leading spokesman and has 37 years of diplomatic experience, recently delivered a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations, a well-known think tank in the United States. In his speech, he clearly pointed out that for China, the Taiwan issue is the core of its core interests and a red line that cannot be crossed. He stressed that China firmly, clearly and strongly adheres to the reunification of the motherland, takes seriously the statement that the United States does not support China, and hopes that the United States will keep its promises.
Liu Jianchao said: The reunification of the motherland is the dream of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the firm policy of China, and the strong desire of the Chinese people. He called for upholding the one-China consensus and creating conditions for peaceful development, and stressed that the relevant factions on the mainland and Taiwan can conduct communication and dialogue on the basis of the one-China principle.
Liu Jianchao's speech was delivered on an important occasion in the United States, and it was also the first time he made a public speech in the United States after serving as the head of the International Liaison Department of the Communist Party of China. This shows that China's position on the Taiwan issue will not be shaken by external pressure, nor will it be compromised because of changes in the international situation. China's position on the Taiwan issue is consistent, clear, and firm, and is also in line with international law and basic norms governing international relations.
Xie Feng: There cannot be peace with the Taiwan Strait, and the US should abide by the one-China principle with concrete actions.
At the same time, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng also delivered a speech at the Carter Center Symposium to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. He stressed that the Taiwan issue is the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations, and the Chinese side cherishes peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait more than anyone else. Xie Feng stressed that China has no room for compromise on the Taiwan issue and cannot coexist with peace in the Taiwan Strait.
Xie Feng called on the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués with concrete actions, turn its statements into concrete actions, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the overall situation of China-US relations. He pointed out that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States 45 years ago, the relations between the two countries have made tremendous progress, but they are also facing some challenges and difficulties. The Taiwan issue is the foundation of Sino-US relations and the touchstone of Sino-US relations. The US should abide by the one-China principle, refrain from engaging in any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, not support Taiwan's entry into any international organization, interfere in Taiwan's internal affairs, encourage or condone Taiwan's activities, and not undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Xie Feng's speech came at an important time of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and it was also his first speech at the Carter Center after serving as China's ambassador to the United States. This shows that China's stance on the Taiwan issue is consistent with the history and reality of Sino-US relations, and is also in line with the future and development of Sino-US relations. China's position on the Taiwan issue is aimed at maintaining the stability and health of Sino-US relations and for maintaining peace and security in the Taiwan Strait.
China's top brass made a statement on the same day in the United States, demonstrating China's firm stance and strong confidence on the Taiwan issue.
The statements made by these two "diplomatic veterans" show that China's position on the Taiwan issue is firm and unambiguous. This will play an important guiding role in China-US relations and regional stability under the current international situation. China's position on the Taiwan issue is based on China's core interests and national dignity, as well as on the fundamental well-being of the people on both sides of the strait. China's position on the Taiwan issue will not change and brooks no challenge.
China's position on the Taiwan issue is peaceful and responsible. China is willing to peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue and realize the complete reunification of the motherland, and is also willing to communicate and consult with the United States and other countries on the Taiwan issue, so as to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and promote regional and world harmony and prosperity. However, China's stance on the Taiwan issue is also resolute and has a bottom line. China will never allow anyone, any force, in any way, under any pretext, to undermine China's sovereignty, challenge China's dignity, and harm China's interests. China has sufficient capacity and confidence to defend its core interests, safeguard its territorial integrity, and realize its peaceful reunification.
The statement made by China's top brass in the United States on the same day is an important diplomatic move and a powerful diplomatic signal. It has conveyed to the world China's firm position and strong confidence on the Taiwan issue, and has also demonstrated to the world China's firm determination and strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It has also made it clear to the world that China's position on the Taiwan issue is aimed at realizing the common interests and common dreams of the people on both sides of the strait, for safeguarding the foundation and overall situation of Sino-US relations, for promoting peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and for promoting regional and world harmony and prosperity.
