Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin met hours before the Winter Olympics officially opened on Friday night and declared that they are backing each other over standoffs on Ukraine and Taiwan with a promise to collaborate more against the West.
Russia voiced its support for China’s stance that democratically-governed Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and opposition to any form of independence for the island.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said China’s continued false claims the island is part of the People’s Republic of China were the same as the country’s habit of spreading fake news.
“It not only increases the Taiwanese people’s disgust at and loathing for the Chinese government’s arrogance and bullying, it also clearly shows all the world’s countries the sinister face of the Chinese Communist regime’s aggression, expansionism and damaging of peace.”
