China has issued a firm response to recent comments from former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Taiwan. Beijing stated clearly that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair and will not accept any foreign interference.
The statement came after Trump suggested in an interview that the U.S. might not defend Taiwan unless it paid more for its own security. Chinese officials did not address Trump's specific remarks directly. Instead, they reiterated a long-standing position.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson emphasized that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan has been a part of China since ancient times. The spokesperson called for other countries to strictly follow the "One-China" principle. This principle is a key rule in international relations that sees Taiwan as part of China.
The statement warned against any actions that could support what China views as separatist movements for Taiwan's independence. Beijing insists that maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is a common responsibility for the international community.
