China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany, warned: "If Washington decouples from China or even incites and plots for Taiwan independence, splitting China, and stepping on Beijing's red lines, it will lead to a confrontation between China and the United States."
Comment: This is the clearest, most straightforward, and unambiguous red line warning given by China at an international security forum.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi made his point very clear: cooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation leads to inevitable losses. If the United States insists on decoupling, supporting "Taiwan independence," and stepping on China's core interests, there can be no peaceful and stable relationship between China and the United States.
This statement is not a threat, but a declaration of bottom lines — China is willing to cooperate, but will not tolerate bullying, division, or containment. If the United States listens, there will be a way forward for bilateral relations; if not, all consequences will be its own responsibility.
