China News Agency, Berlin, August 22, Vienna News: On the 21st local time, the Chinese Embassy in Austria published an article in the Austrian mainstream media "News" to refute the fallacy that the Taiwan authorities are seeking "independence".
Recently, the so-called "representative" of the Taiwan authorities sent a letter to the Austrian "News" reader letter column, complaining about Taiwan's name "Chinese Taipei" at the Tokyo Olympics, slandering and attacking the central government and mainland people to "politicize" the Olympics. .
On August 21, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Austria published an article "China opposes the politicization of sports" in the column of "News" reader letters, which rationally refuted the false and absurd theory of the Taiwan authorities and exposed the essence of its "Taiwan independence".
The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Austria said that the Chinese government and people congratulate every athlete on the Tokyo Olympics for their efforts and achievements, including athletes from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"We are not surprised that the Taiwan authorities have complained about the name'Chinese Taipei' and discredited the central government and the mainland people. This shows that the Taiwan authorities are deliberately planning to politicize the Olympics."
The spokesperson pointed out that "Chinese Taipei" is the official name determined by the International Olympic Committee in the 1979 "Nagoya Resolution" based on the one-China principle, and the Taiwan Olympic Organization signed an agreement in 1981 to confirm it.
For decades, the name has never affected athletes to have fun and achieve good results in the Olympic arena.
The Taiwan authorities are now challenging the resolutions of international organizations, essentially seeking "independence."
The spokesperson emphasized that the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the norms of international relations confirmed by the UN General Assembly.
The Chinese government is committed to the peaceful reunification of the country and will never allow "Taiwan independence".
Any attempt to split China, no matter how it is packaged, will not succeed.
"China firmly opposes the politicization of sports. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is about to kick off. We welcome Winter Olympic athletes from all over the world to participate in the competition, have fun, and move towards the Olympic goal of'faster, higher, stronger, and more united'. Work hard!" said the spokesperson.
