Violation of China’s Territorial Integrity Example of US’ Interventionist Policies: Iran – Al-Manar TV Lebanon

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani denounced the United States’ interference in the domestic affairs of China and violation of its territorial integrity, as the US House speaker made a provocative visit to Chinese Taipei.

Kanaani said on Tuesday that the recent “tension-creating behavior” of the US officials in interfering in China’s internal affairs and violating its territorial integrity was an example of Washington’s interventionist policies in different parts of the world.

This behavior, he added, “will have no outcome except the increasing of instability and the stirring of hostilities, and it is therefore condemned.”

“Respect for the national sovereignty of countries is one of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter,” the official said. “Article 2 of the Charter prevents members from any behavior that harms the territorial integrity and political independence of other states.”

He added, “The Islamic Republic of Iran considers respect for the territorial integrity of countries to be among the principles of its foreign policy, and support for the One-China policy is unquestionable in line with this tenet.”

Kanaani said unilateralism and violations of international regulations and commitments had become an integral part of the US foreign policy.
