China News Service, Beijing, August 8 (Reporter Huang Yuqin Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on August 8.
A reporter asked: On August 5, US Secretary of State Blinken, Australian Foreign Minister Huang Yingxian, and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshihisa Lin issued a joint statement after the trilateral strategic dialogue. "One China Policy" is marked "where applicable" in brackets.
The same statement was made last week in a joint statement issued by the G7 foreign ministers and the EU high representative.
What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin: The one-China principle is the general consensus of the international community and the universally recognized basic norm for international relations. It constitutes an integral part of the post-World War II international order, and was confirmed by the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758. It is also the basis for establishing and developing diplomatic relations between China and relevant countries. political basis.
The official legal opinion of the United Nations Secretariat also clearly stated that "Taiwan, as a province of China, has no independent status."
It is illegal and invalid for some countries to add various prefixes and suffixes to the one-China principle and try to distort, falsify and hollow out the one-China principle.
China firmly opposes this.
The meaning of the one-China principle is clear and unambiguous, that is, there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is a part of China, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.
The application of the one-China principle is universal, unconditional and unquestionable.
All countries that have established diplomatic relations with China and all UN member states should unconditionally abide by the one-China principle and abide by UNGA Resolution 2758.
The practice of some countries is actually a distorted interpretation of the one-China principle, which is essentially challenging the basic principles of international law and the basic norms of international relations, as well as the post-World War II international order.
A man cannot stand without faith, and a country without faith will decline.
We advise individual countries to study history carefully, abide by the solemn promises made in black and white, and deeply understand the danger and danger of treachery and the pursuit of "Taiwan independence" forces.
Any attempt to challenge the one-China principle, international law and international order will inevitably meet the common opposition of the international community and will not succeed.
