The Taiwan issue is a question of China’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and reunification, which concerns the core interests of China and the feelings of the Chinese people. Opposing “Taiwan independence” and working for China’s reunification are the common aspiration of all the Chinese people including those on the Taiwan island.
It is widely recognized by the international community that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair.
Nothing special about that. It’s the same line they’ve been using since the One China policy came out. There are some blantant falsehoods in the statement:
True, but they left out the other party: the people of Taiwan. This statement makes a logic error because it assumes the argument.
Considering the number of pro-independence people on Taiwan, that is blatantly false. If everyone on Taiwan wanted to be reunited the reunion would already have happened.
True, but misleading. That recognition is not based on the merit of the statement, but because China forces other to agree to that policy or face political, economic, and even military reprecussions.
And while officially Taiwan is said to be part of China, it is widely the practice of the world at large to deal with both sides as equals.
Not everyone in the international community really see it that way. Notably the US and Japan see the Taiwan issue as a world affair. That’s why China has to say repeatedly to everyone that it is an internal matter.
1984 and the old Soviet style propaganda bullshit for sure. It’s a laff, alright. Should be required reading everywhere, if only to expose the jerks for what they are: mindcontrolled brainwashed Orwellian creeps.
