I. Background of the event

1 Visiting the facts

Lin Jiao Long, the head of the foreign affairs department of the Taiwan region, appeared in the Philippines on August 28 as the so-called "head of the foundation" and met with individual Filipino officials and participated in economic and trade activities.

The contradictory behavior of the Philippines

Although the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs has publicly reiterated its insistence on the one-China policy and the 1975 communique on China-Philippines relations, the Philippines has recently continued to expand its military contacts with Taiwan, being accused of privately "playing Taiwan cards" and exposing its discrepancies.

2. China's solemn position

1. Qualitative Philippine behavior

The Chinese side pointed out that the Philippines' connivance of Lin Jialong's visit is to provide an anti-China stage for the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, which seriously violates the basic norms of international relations and the Philippines' commitment to Taiwan, and is an act of "stepping on China's red line".

Criticism of philippines

The Philippines has recently taken a series of mistaken actions on the issue of Taiwan, continuing to emulate the one-China principle, damaging China-Philippines relations, exposing its "bad qualities of speech and unbelief".

3. Core interests are inviolable

China emphasizes that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and that the Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair. It urges the Philippines to abide by the one-China principle and the spirit of the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines, and immediately stop sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces.

China's countermeasures and warnings

1. diplomatic action

China has lodged stern representations and strong protests with the Philippines in Beijing and Manila.

Strict warning

The Chinese side clearly warned that “the actions of the Philippines to step on the Chinese red line will inevitably pay a price, and all the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the Philippines,” and stressed that it should not underestimate the firm will of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
