Taiwan is China's internal affair, says Chinese official
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement that "Taiwan is not just China's business but the world's business." Chen reiterated that Taiwan is China's Taiwan and the Taiwan question is China's internal affair. He emphasized that resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people on both sides of the Straits and does not allow for outside interference.
Chen pointed out that the actions of "Taiwan independence" separatists and interference by external forces are the greatest threats to peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. He urged the US to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiqués, handle the Taiwan question cautiously, explicitly oppose "Taiwan independence," and support China's peaceful reunification.
This statement highlights China's firm stance on the Taiwan issue and its opposition to any external interference. It also emphasizes the importance of peaceful reunification and the need for the US to respect China's internal affairs.
