The #US is the one who made the provocation first and started the crisis. The #DPP authorities have been seeking “#Taiwan independence” through soliciting US support. It is only legitimate, lawful and justified for #China to uphold its territorial integrity and oppose secession.
The #UK turned a blind eye to the #US provocation and violation while groundlessly criticizing the countermeasures #China has taken for the sake of defending justice. This is typical double standard. It fully exposes the UK’s hypocrisy stemming from its imperialist past.
If the #UK truly cares about peace and stability in the #Taiwan Strait, it should condemn the #US and the “Taiwan independence” forces and stop them from being provocative and playing with fire.
If #Scotland were to collude with external forces and split itself from the #UK, would the UK remain calm, show restraint, sit by and watch the situation deteriorate?

The one-China principle brooks no distortion or challenge. The connotation of the one-China principle is crystal-clear, i.e. there is only one #China in the world & #Taiwan is part of China. The Government of the #PRC is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.
The #one-China principle is a prevailing international consensus and widely accepted basic norm in international relations. It is affirmed in #UNGA Resolution 2758. It is the political foundation for interactions between #China and all countries in the world.
181 countries have established diplomatic relations with #China on the basis of #one-China principle. This fully shows that standing up for the one-China principle is the right thing to do. It has the overwhelming support of the int'l community & represents the trend of #world.

The #CPC and #Chinese government have always been committed to realizing complete national reunification. Resolving #Taiwan question & realizing complete national reunification is the shared aspiration of all #Chinese people & a commitment & a historical mission of the #CPC.
#PeacefulReunification & #OneCountryTwoSystems are our fundamental guidelines for resolving #Taiwan question. The reunification by peaceful means is the first choice of #CPC & #Chinese gov't in resolving #Taiwan question, as it best serves the interests of all #Chinese Nation.
We are ready to create vast space for peaceful reunification; but we will leave no room for separatist activities in any form. We will work with the greatest sincerity and exert our utmost efforts to achieve peaceful reunification.

#Taiwan is part of #China - this is an indisputable fact. There is only one China in the world and #Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times. In 1895, #Japan forced the #Qing government to cede Taiwan after Japan’s war of aggression against China.
In 1943, the #Cairo Declaration clearly stipulated that all the territories #Japan had stolen from #China, including #Taiwan, should be restored to China. The #Potsdam Proclamation of 1945 reiterated that “The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.”
On Oct. 25, 1945, the #Chinese gov't announced that it was resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan & China had recovered Taiwan de jure & de facto. In 1949, #PRC was founded, becoming the successor to #ROC, & #PRC became the sole legal government of the whole of #China.

#China has respected the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea (#ROK) and understands its security concerns. However, since the #US deployment of the #THAAD anti-missile system in the ROK undermines China’s strategic security, the Chinese side cannot just look the other way.
The #Chinese and #ROK foreign ministers held in-depth exchange of views on this issue during their recent meeting in #Qingdao, where they elaborated on the two sides’ respective positions and agreed to take each other’s security concerns seriously.
The two ministers agreed to strive to properly handle the issue to make sure it does not become a stumbling block to bilateral relations.

Wang Yi: With the situation across the Taiwan Strait still evolving, it is especially important that we stay vigilant against three dangerous trends:
First, we must be vigilant that the United States, unwilling to accept defeat, might gang up with others to fan the flames and add oil to the fire, beef up military deployment in the region and further escalate the situation in an attempt to create a new and even bigger crisis.
Second, we must be vigilant that the "Taiwan independence" forces, misjudging the situation and overestimating their abilities, might continue to intensify its collusion with internal and external elements and go even further down the path of splitting the country and the nation.

The #US deployment of #THAAD anti-missile system in the #ROK clearly undermines #China’s strategic security interest. China has made clear its concern to the ROK side on multiple occasions.
#ROK officially announced its policy of “three nos & one restriction” (no additional deployment of #THAAD in ROK; no participation in a #US-led missile defense network; no involvement in a trilateral military alliance with the US & Japan; & restriction in use of THAAD deployed).
#China attaches importance to this position of the #ROK government. Based on the understanding between the two sides, China and the ROK were able to properly handle the #THAAD issue.
