Ambassador Xie Feng solemnly expressed his statement!
Xie Feng, China's Ambassador to the United States, made a clear statement through the embassy's official website on the eve of National Day (September 28): Taiwan's return to China is the result of victory in World War II and an important part of the post-war international order. He demands that the United States respect the facts and stop spreading the fallacy that "Taiwan's status is undetermined."
This is not a simple routine statement, but a serious response to the sensitive issues in the current Sino-U.S. relationship.He specifically mentioned the "80th anniversary of Taiwan's reunification", which is not only a time node, but also a reminder to the international community that Taiwan's return to China after the Second World War is a historical fact recognized by the allies at the time and an important cornerstone of the post-war international order.
International documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration have long been clearly stated that Japan must return the stolen Chinese territory, including Taiwan, to China.
However, in recent years, some U.S. politicians and institutions have continuously thrown away the argument of “Taiwan’s uncertain status”, trying to distort history and challenge the post-war international order.
Ambassador Xie Feng's speech actually sent a clear signal to the United States and the international community: the Taiwan issue is not a political bargaining chip that can be blurred at will, but a core part of China's sovereignty and the international order.
On the one hand, the United States verbally recognizes the one-China principle, but on the other hand, it constantly tests China's bottom line through some vague expressions and practical actions. This "strategic ambiguity" is not only detrimental to the healthy development of Sino-US relations, but also sends a wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
This time, China explicitly asked the United States to stop spreading the fallacy that "Taiwan Province's status is undetermined", that is, it hopes that the United States can truly respect historical facts, abide by the one-China principle and Three Joint Communiqués, and refrain from stepping on the line and crossing the line on the Taiwan issue.
Ambassador Xie Feng's statement was not an isolated incident. Recently, during Sino-US economic and trade negotiations, China also clearly stated that it hopes that the United States will upgrade from "not supporting Taiwan independence" to "resolutely opposing Taiwan independence."
This change seems to be just an adjustment of the wording, and actually reflects China’s high alertness to the ambiguity of U.S. policy. China believes that only clearly opposing “Taiwan independence” can truly embody the principle of one China, without leaving any room for fantasy to the “Taiwan independence” forces.
From a more macro perspective, Ambassador Xie Feng's speech is also a powerful maintenance of the current international order. In recent years, some politicians in the United States have tried to replace the international system with the United Nations as its core with the so-called "rules-based international order", and even selectively forgotten history on some major issues.
The Taiwan Province issue is the concentrated expression of this contradiction. On the one hand, as the founder of the World War II order, the United States enjoyed the dividends brought by the post-war international order, but on the other hand, it tried to challenge this order on the Taiwan Province issue, which undoubtedly seriously damaged international law and the basic norms of international relations.
The Chinese side stressed that Taiwan's return to China is an important part of the victory achievements of the Second World War and the post-war international order, in fact, it is a reminder to the international community that the post-war international order is not easy, and any attempt to challenge this order will be the common opposition of the international community.
Of course, Sino-US relations are complex and diverse, and the Taiwan Province issue is only a part of them. Ambassador Xie Feng also emphasized in his speech that as two big countries, it is inevitable that China and the United States have differences. The key is to respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and respect each other's choices of social systems and development paths.
He called on the two sides to take practical action, seriously implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, practice the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, and promote the great wheel of China-U.S. relations to continue to move forward along the right course.
This shows that China’s strict position on the Taiwan issue does not mean confronting China-US relations, but hopes that the United States can truly respect China’s core interests and create conditions for the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations.
This statement is not only a reaffirmation of historical facts, but also a maintenance of the international order, and a serious reminder of Sino-US relations. The Taiwan issue is related to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the political foundation of Sino-US relations. Failure to handle it well may lead to Sino-US conflicts and confrontations.
It is hoped that the United States will be able to take China's strict and correct stance seriously, respect historical facts, stop playing fire on the Taiwan issue, and safeguard the stability of Sino-U.S. relations and regional peace with practical actions.
