China News Service, Beijing, August 17 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) In response to the Lithuanian President’s recent remarks on Taiwan, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying stated at a regular press conference on the 17th that Lifang’s attempt to steal the merits and exchange the concepts would provoke one. The Chinese Principles pretend to defend the so-called "principles and values" of the Liberty, sophistry for the development of substantive relations with the Taiwan authorities. This can only deceive themselves and others.
A reporter asked questions. According to reports, Lithuanian President Nauseda recently stated that Lithuania is committed to defending its democratic principles and values.
As a sovereign and independent country, Lithuania can freely decide which countries or regions to develop economic and cultural relations with.
What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying stated that the President of Lithuania stated that Lithuania will defend its principles and values.
If Lithuania can, of course China should and can defend its own interests more firmly and resolutely, especially the core interests related to territorial sovereignty.
Hua Chunying pointed out that the Lifang attempted to steal the merits, exchange the concept, and disguised the provocation of the one-China principle as defending Lifang's so-called "principles and values" and sophistry for the development of substantive relations with the Taiwan authorities. This can only deceive itself.
The meaning of the one-China principle is clear and clear, and cannot be distorted or tampered with.
To pursue the one-China policy, we must strictly abide by the one-China principle and cut off all official contacts with the Taiwan authorities, whether it is blatantly or secretly.
