Singapore's Straits Times reported on the evening of February 14: "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany, warned that if the United States 'decouples' and cuts off China, even incites and plots 'Taiwan independence,' splitting China, and tramples on China's red lines, it will lead to a confrontation between China and the United States."
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's clear statement sets a clear bottom line for China in international occasions. The severity of the tone and the firmness of the position have never been seen before. The so-called 'de-coupling' and 'de-risking' are actually economic weapons politicized; inciting 'Taiwan independence' and splitting China is a naked provocation against China's core interests. Wang Yi's warning directly points out the danger of strategic miscalculation by the U.S. - playing with fire on the Taiwan issue is equivalent to igniting the powder keg of Sino-U.S. relations. China will not accept it, and this is not an empty threat; safeguarding sovereignty and territorial integrity leaves no room for compromise. The U.S. should be aware that China's development is unstoppable, and the will for reunification is unshakable. Whether to confront or cooperate is up to Washington.
