Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, addressed reports from Taiwanese media concerning a proposed "America supports Taiwan act" drafted by some US lawmakers. This act suggests replacing "Chinese Taipei" with "Taiwan" in official US communications and documents related to the island.
Chen emphasized that the Taiwan question is strictly an internal matter for China and is not subject to foreign intervention. He stated that the issue falls entirely within China's sovereignty.
The spokesperson criticized certain US politicians for consistently introducing Taiwan-related proposals that contradict the US government's established one-China policy. He accused these politicians of prioritizing personal political gain at the expense of China's fundamental interests.
Chen urged the US to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques. He called for an end to actions that could be interpreted as support for "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. Chen concluded by asserting that any attempts to leverage the "Taiwan card" or use the Taiwan question to contain China would ultimately fail.

Calling Taiwan an internal matter ignores the reality of the island's independence and the wishes of its people.

Chen Binhua's comments show a blatant disregard for Taiwan's democratic rights. The world must support Taiwan's autonomy!

Chen is right to call out foreign interference. The one-China policy is the foundation for China-US relations.

Chen's criticism of US lawmakers just proves China is scared of Taiwan gaining more international recognition.
