China's embassy in Canada condemned the G7 and EU's criticism of its military exercises near Taiwan, calling it interference in internal affairs. The G7 and EU had expressed concern over China's "provocative" actions, claiming they raised tensions.
China responded that the Taiwan question is an internal matter, with "Taiwan independence" separatists and their supporters being the true threat to peace. The military exercises were a response to actions seeking independence and a defense of national sovereignty. China urged adherence to the one-China principle and an end to interference.
The PLA announced the completion of the exercises, which tested joint operations capabilities. A professor from China Foreign Affairs University accused the G7 and EU of using Taiwan to contain China, encouraging separatists, and creating instability. The professor also criticized the DPP authorities for seeking independence with Western support.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson reiterated the condemnation of the accusations, urging support for the one-China principle and opposition to "Taiwan independence.

Provocative military exercises near Taiwan are NOT a response to anything; they're intimidation. The G7 and EU are right to be concerned.

The 'provocative' actions are a RESPONSE, not a cause. Taiwan independence is the true instigator!

China's military exercises are a strong message, not a provocation. We must support China's right to defend China.

The 'one-China principle' is the foundation for peace and stability in the region. Respect it!

The G7 and EU are hypocrites. They don't care about peace; they care about containing China.

Taiwan is part of China, and we won't tolerate any moves that would break this.
