Beijing stresses Taiwan question is China’s internal affair and brooks no foreign interference

Reuters: US President Biden said during his visit to Viet Nam that he does not think China will invade Taiwan given the economic challenges that may reduce China’s capacity. What is the ministry’s response to this? The US and Viet Nam have also upgraded their diplomatic ties and signed deals on semiconductors and minerals. How does the ministry respond to these developments? Mao Ning: To answer your first question, Taiwan is part of China. The Taiwan question is China’s internal affair. Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese ourselves. It shall be decided by the Chinese and brooks no foreign interference. As to your second question, Viet Nam has stressed on multiple occasions that growing the China-Viet Nam comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership is its diplomatic priority and a top priority in the country’s foreign affairs. It is our view that the development of bilateral relations should not target any third party or harm regional peace, stability, development and prosperity. We ask the US to respect regional countries’ shared aspiration for stability, cooperation and development, abide by basic norms governing international relations, discard the hegemonic and Cold War mentality when dealing with relations with Asian countries. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
