Russian President Vladimir Putin declared his sincerity to Chinese President Xi Jinping in a video conference a few days ago, saying that he supports “China’s position on the Taiwan issue and firmly abides by the one-China principle.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned and criticized this on December 31. , the leaders of China and Russia held talks, and the international community felt ironic and disdainful by boasting about “opposing hegemonism and bullying” and “maintaining the authority of the United Nations and the status of international law.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Putin and Xi Jinping held a video conference on December 30. The foreign affairs department of the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian government falsely stated in a press release after the meeting that Russia supports the so-called “China’s position on the Taiwan issue and firmly abides by the one-China principle.” . The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses solemn protest and strong condemnation of China once again taking the opportunity of meeting with leaders of other countries to continue to spread false statements in the world that derogate the sovereignty of Taiwan, the Republic of China.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterates that the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China are not affiliated to each other. The Chinese Communist regime has never ruled a free and democratic Taiwan. This is a long-standing fact and the cross-strait status recognized by the international community. No matter how the regime distorts Taiwan’s sovereign status, it cannot change the objective fact of our country’s existence.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that Russia violated the Charter of the United Nations by force and illegally invaded Ukraine, and China continued to use information warfare and military aircraft to harass Taiwan, endangering the security and stability of the Taiwan Strait and the Indo-Pacific region. This is a fact that violates international law and undermines the international order. The leaders of the two countries talked about “opposing hegemonism and bullying” and “maintaining the authority of the United Nations and the status of international law” by boasting about each other, which made the international community feel ironic and disdainful.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to point out that Taiwan is an important bastion for safeguarding democracy and freedom in the world. Our country is willing to interact with all countries that firmly defend the values of democracy and freedom. It also calls for global cooperation to resist the threat of authoritarianism. The Taiwan government and people are more determined to help others, and fulfill their responsibilities as members of the international community to jointly maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region and ensure global peace, stability and prosperity.
