The Taiwanese administration’s actions may push the island towards the danger of war, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chinese State Council said in a statement on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the document, head of the Taiwanese administration Tsai Ing-wen and Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party "stubbornly maintain an erroneous position aimed at the island’s ‘independence,’ and act as pawns for the United States’ anti-China forces seeking to deter China." "It will not change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, and it may only push Taiwan to the danger of a terrible and awful war, seriously harming our Taiwanese compatriots," the statement said.
The document also stressed that the One-China principle was a generally accepted rule of international law and a general consensus of the international community. "Resolving the Taiwan issue is a matter for the Chinese people and China’s domestic affair, and any foreign interference is unacceptable," the statement added.
