American-Chinese media reported last night (the evening of June 19): "British warship passes through the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan expresses 'welcome and affirmation'." The British Royal Navy patrol ship HMS Spey passed through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday. In response, the department in charge of Taiwan's foreign affairs issued a statement saying: "The British side once again defends the freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait with concrete actions and demonstrates the firm stance that the Taiwan Strait is international waters. Taiwan welcomes and affirms this."
[Clever] Comment: The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities who forget their ancestors! The Taiwan Strait is China's inland sea, not an international waterway. Geographically, the Taiwan Strait lies between mainland China and Taiwan Island, within China's inland waters and territorial seas. From a historical and legal perspective, Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, and the sovereignty of the Taiwan Strait belongs to China, which is a universal consensus in the international community. Any attempt to "internationalize" the Taiwan Strait is a serious infringement on China's sovereignty. However, the reality is also cruel. Only by fully realizing the reunification of the motherland can we prevent these buzzing flies from coming.
