Foreign Minister Wang Yi once again drew a red line for the United States in front of representatives from more than 100 countries! On February 14, Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that decoupling, separating, and cutting ties with China, opposing everything related to China, forming various factions and groups targeting China, and even inciting and conspiring through Taiwan to split China would cross China's red line. This could likely lead to confrontation between China and the United States.
We urge Washington to choose a pragmatic path of cooperation and mutual interests with Beijing. Obviously, in front of representatives from over 100 countries attending the Munich Security Conference, we have once again drawn a red line on the Taiwan issue. What message is Foreign Minister Wang Yi conveying here? At least three layers can be discerned. First, this is certainly a reminder to the United States to handle the Taiwan issue with caution. Second, it also tells the United States that we are watching their every move, and if this is the choice of the United States, we are not afraid of a direct confrontation with the United States.
Third, it also tells all countries that anyone who dares to provoke us on the Taiwan issue will not face any leniency. From the perspective of cross-strait relations, it can be said more confidently that the Taiwan issue will definitely be resolved, and it will inevitably be resolved. The United States should not have any misjudgment about our determination and strength. This is not just a simple diplomatic statement, but rather clearly stating the bottom line under the sun and in plain sight. The Taiwan issue is the core of the core interests of China, and it is the first un-crossable red line in Sino-US relations. We have issued a clear message and will certainly follow through. It is time for the United States to make a choice between cooperation and confrontation.
