China’s Foreign Ministry has warned the US that China has no room for compromise when it comes to safeguarding sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
No one should underestimate the strong resolve, determination and capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin, urging the US to not ‘stand against the 1.4 billion Chinese people’.
‘We urge the US side to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, be cautious in words and deeds on the Taiwan question, and refrain from sending any wrong signals to secessionists, so as not to seriously damage China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits,’ Wang said.
The US would come to Taiwan’s defence if the island faces a Chinese mainland incursion, US President Joe Biden confirmed a few days ago. Observers said the overall US policy toward the Taiwan question is becoming clearer, and that China should not interpret some of the US moves seeking cooperation with China as signs of softening.
