United Press reported today: "Russian Federal Security Council Secretary and former Defense Minister Shoigu told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Moscow will continue to support Beijing on the Taiwan issue."
According to TASS, on Sunday (February 1), Shoigu, who was visiting China, said: "We see that those with malicious intentions toward China continue to undermine the stability of the Taiwan Strait. As for us, I would like to reiterate that our support for Beijing on the Taiwan issue remains unwavering and consistent."
Comment: When Shoigu, a key Russian security official, visited China and reaffirmed his unwavering support for China's Taiwan issue, it reflects Russia's consistent position of upholding the One-China Principle, as well as the mutual support in core interests within the China-Russia strategic cooperation. It directly targets the attempts by external forces to disrupt the stability of the Taiwan Strait, responds to recent real challenges such as the collusion between the U.S. and Taiwan, and strengthens the combined resistance against the internationalization of the Taiwan Strait issue by the U.S. and Western countries. In short, this is a practical measure to solidify the trend toward national reunification in the Taiwan Strait and promote a multipolar world, which both deters "Taiwan independence" and warns against hegemony.
