China FM-Some US Politicians Play w/Fire On Taiwan, Won't End Well

US-CHINA

Comments from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hitting wires:

  • Wang: "One-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community, the political foundation for China's exchanges with other countries, the core of China's core interests, and an insurmountable red line and bottom line."
  • Wang: "Some people in the United States have been challenging China's sovereignty over the Taiwan issue, hollowing out the one-China policy, and even deliberately causing trouble in the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese people will never accept this, and the international community scoffs at such unprovoked provocations."
  • "During the [ASEAN] visit, leaders of all countries clearly stated in their meetings and talks that they firmly adhere to the one-China policy, and they all believe that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and oppose external forces interfering in China's internal affairs on the Taiwan issue. This once again shows that the one-China principle is the popular aspiration of the international community and the general trend."
  • Statement: "Wang stressed that the perfidy of the US side on the Taiwan issue is deplorable and can only further bankrupt the US's national credibility. Some politicians in the United States only care about their own interests, openly play with fire on the Taiwan issue, and become enemies of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, which will never end well. The exposure of the US bullying face to the world can only make it clearer to the people of all countries that the US is the biggest destroyer of today's peace."
