Taiwan’s ministry of foreign affairs criticized a joint declaration by China and Vietnam that mentioned Taiwan as a part of China and called it” a significant distortion of the facts,” according to Taiwan News.
Vietnam supported China’s say that” Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese place” during his visit on Tuesday, according to Taiwan News, citing Viet Nam News, and opposed “any dissident action” seeking Taiwan’s freedom.
The ministry responded to China and Vietnam’s joint statement by saying it” strongly condemns and firmly refutes the authoritarian regime of the Chinese Communist Party’s continued use of rhetoric that internationally denigrates Taiwan’s sovereignty.” Taiwan’s policy of defending its country’s sovereignty is unwavering and unwavering.
The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its commitment to Taiwan as a sovereign, independent country. The CCP has never ruled Taiwan, according to the ministry.
The ministry claimed that any claim that “distorts Taiwan’s sovereignty cannot alter the internationally recognized cross-strait status quo” cannot be made. According to Taiwan News, it urged the international community to” jointly counter China’s false claims and not condone China’s malicious attempts to deceive the world’s public opinion and undermine Taiwan’s national sovereignty.”
Since 1949, Taiwan has been governed independently. Taiwan is still considered a part of China’s territory, and the country demands that it be reunited with it, using force if necessary.
China’s President Xi Jinping put emphasis on the two nations ‘ efforts to “fight unilateral bullying” during his visit to Vietnam. The Chinese leader’s remarks were made in response to disruptions brought on by tariffs imposed by the US President Donald Trump.
Xi, who is currently touring Southeast Asia with stops in Malaysia and Cambodia, made his first stop in Vietnam in an effort to stabilise regional ties and lessen the impact of the US tariffs.
According to the Xinhua news agency, Xi met with Vietnamese general secretary To Lam and stated that both nations” jointly oppose unilateral bullying and uphold the stability of the global free trade system as well as industrial and supply chains.”
Xi urged both nations to increase high-level exchanges, strengthen strategic communication, and” jointly oppose hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism,” according to Chinese state media during his meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Hanoi.
Xi also urged the two countries to work together to promote an economic globalization that is more open, inclusive, balanced, and beneficial to all by calling on both sides to maintain the stability of the global free trade system and industrial and supply chains.
