[Israeli media aiding 'Taiwan independence' voices, Ambassador Xiao Junzheng delivers two warnings to Israel: Don't go down the wrong path]
In recent times, Israel has repeatedly tested the boundaries on the Taiwan issue. Israeli legislators have disregarded opposition from the Chinese mainland by visiting Taiwan and making erroneous, negative statements. Israeli media outlets have further provided a platform for 'Taiwan independence' forces, stoking the so-called narrative of 'Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization.'
In response, Ambassador Xiao Junzheng recently gave an exclusive interview and published an article in Israeli media, urging Israel not to take the wrong path.
China offers Israel two key warnings: First, the one-China principle is the foundation for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Israel—China urges Israel to move in the right direction as well. Second, while Taiwan's authorities are acting against the tide, Israel must remain vigilant and avoid being misled by 'Taiwan independence' forces. Israel must uphold its stance against 'Taiwan independence' and support China's reunification.
The Netanyahu administration should not take this lightly—Taiwan is a core interest of China, and external interference is unacceptable. Any attempt to interfere will be met with decisive action; no exceptions will be made.
If Israel continues down this path without turning back, China will inevitably take countermeasures. China will not allow such distorted trends to fester in the shadows. Do not underestimate China's resolve to safeguard national sovereignty.
Moreover, since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Sino-Israeli relations have generally remained stable and achieved notable cooperative results. If these relations are jeopardized due to the Taiwan issue, Israel would only suffer losses without gains.
