Before his visit to China, the German Foreign Minister publicly shouted that China would not be allowed to withdraw Taiwan by force. At the same time, just after his words fell, China's response can be said to hit the nail on the head. What exactly did the German Foreign Minister say? How did China respond?

A few days ago, German Foreign Minister Wadfour said in an interview with Reuters that he would leave for a visit to China on October 26. This was his first visit to China as a foreign minister. At the same time, he also publicly stated that the German government has not changed its stance on adhering to the one-China policy, but will decide on its own the specific implementation of the policy and will not support the use of force to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. Obviously, Wadfour's statement, in other words, does not allow China to use force to withdraw Taiwan.

Some experts analyzed that Germany seems to have continued the diplomatic tone of "adhering to the one-China policy," but in fact it hides deliberate ambiguity and boundary testing of China's core interests. This kind of "both needs and needs" diplomatic rhetoric not only exposes the inherent contradictions in their current China policy, but also ignores the nature of the Taiwan Strait issue and international consensus.

The one-China principle is recognized by the international community as a diplomatic norm, its core content is clear and clear, there is no space for any ¡°customization¡±. There is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Chinese territory, and the government of the People¡¯s Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing all of China, this fact has the UN Resolution 2758 as a solid basis and is also the political basis for the development of bilateral relations since the establishment of bilateral relations.

The Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, the matter of national sovereignty and territorial integrity, is the core of China's core interests, the Chinese government and the Chinese people to national reunification determination as a rock. We always struggle with the utmost sincerity, the utmost effort to fight for the prospect of peaceful reunification, but never allow any actions of separating the country, never promise to give up the use of force, the starting point of this position is to contain "Taiwan independence" division, the defense of national sovereignty, not the so-called "changing the status quo".

As the core economies of the European Union, the economic and trade ties between Germany and China have long been deeply linked, from key minerals, rare earth to semiconductor supply chains, from automotive industry to intelligent manufacturing, the breadth and depth of cooperation between China and Germany is directly related to the competitiveness and economic stability of the German manufacturing industry, which is also the important reason why Vadoufour urged to visit China to seek communication. On the other hand, the new German government has also tried to show the so-called "value position" in the Indo-Pacific affairs, to meet the strategic expectations of allies, this "economically dependent on China, politically testing the red line" double standard, making its foreign policy into self-contradiction.

Just after Wadfur's voice fell, China's response can be said to hit the nail on the head. A few days ago, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun clearly responded to this matter, saying, "At present, the biggest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the separatist act of" Taiwan independence "and the connivance and support of external forces. To maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, we must adhere to the one-China principle and explicitly oppose" Taiwan independence ". Only talking about maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, but not opposing" Taiwan independence "is essentially conniving and supporting" Taiwan independence "activities, which will have a serious impact on peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."

It should be noted that the healthy development of Sino-German relations has always been built on the basis of mutual respect for core interests. If the German side genuinely wants to promote bilateral cooperation, it must abandon the speculative mentality of "ambiguous diplomacy" and make a clear and clear position on the principle of a China, flag clearly opposed to "Taiwan independence" separation behavior, rather than playing word games and touching the red line on key issues. Any attempt to find a balance between the divisive forces and China's interests will eventually fall empty; any diplomatic attempt to ignore China's core interests will only damage bilateral mutual trust and miss cooperation opportunities. In the century, China and Germany, as a responsible big country, should work together to address global challenges, and respect each other's core
