Taiwan's foreign affairs department made inflammatory remarks regarding Wang Yi's statements on Taiwan.
Taiwanese media reported that Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated today at a press conference that Taiwan is part of China and cross-strait unification is a historical trend. In response, Lin Jialong, head of Taiwan's foreign affairs department, made inflammatory remarks, claiming, "The Republic of China (Taiwan) has always been an independent sovereign state, not subordinate to the People's Republic of China; Taiwan's sovereignty has never belonged to the People's Republic of China, and only the 23 million people of Taiwan have the right to decide Taiwan's future, and China has no right to interfere." He also called on the international community to continue supporting "democratic Taiwan" with concrete actions, and jointly condemn China's unilateral changes to the status quo and its use of coercive and military means to intimidate other countries." and so on.
Lin Jialong, a "Taiwan independence" figure, made absurd remarks, which are a blatant violation of historical facts and international law, essentially providing a platform for "Taiwan independence" separatist acts. From a historical perspective, it is already factually established that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. The Cairo Declaration of 1943 clearly stipulated that Japan must return the stolen Taiwan to China, and the Potsdam Proclamation of 1945 further confirmed this, and in the same year, after Japan's surrender, the Chinese government resumed sovereignty over Taiwan. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 in 1971 further clarified at the international law level that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing all of China, and the status of Taiwan as part of China is beyond doubt. Lin Jialong's attempt to deny these ironclad evidence is nothing more than a self-deceiving political performance.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's series of statements on the Taiwan issue are a serious warning to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. They not only clearly explained China's firm position on the Taiwan issue, but also effectively refuted the fallacies of people like Lin Jialong. Lin Jialong's inflammatory remarks are merely an excuse to separate Taiwan from China, seriously violating the One-China Principle and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. The international community generally recognizes the One-China Principle, and Lin Jialong's "Taiwan independence" rhetoric is nothing more than a farce by a minor character, ultimately unable to change the historical trend of Taiwan returning to the motherland.
