Taiwan’s Land Commission responded on April 18 to the remarks of Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng that cross-strait reunification is a historical process, saying that Taiwan has never been a part of the Chinese Communist Party, not accepting Le’s statement and calling on the mainland to return to pragmatic dialogue and communication as soon as possible to resolve differences.
Central News Agency reported on the 18th, Le Yucheng 16 interview with the Associated Press said “cross-strait reunification is a historical process”, but did not point out any point in time. As for the recent visit to Taiwan by former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd, Le Yucheng said “the Taiwan card is a dangerous card” and that the U.S. should not cross the line.
The Taiwan Land Commission said that the Republic of China is a sovereign state, Taiwan has never been part of the People’s Republic of China, and only the 23 million people of Taiwan have the right to decide on the future development of Taiwan. The firm defense of sovereignty and democracy can never be changed by any strong claims and actions. It is impossible to agree and accept Le Yucheng’s reaffirmation of China’s one-sided position on Taiwan.
A few days ago, former U.S. Senator Joe Biden led a delegation to Taiwan to meet and exchange views with President Tsai Ing-wen and political figures from all parties in Taiwan, conveying “Biden’s commitment to U.S.-Taiwan relations” and stating that “this is the strongest moment in the history of U.S.-Taiwan relations. “.
In response to the visit, Le Yucheng said that the Chinese Communist Party is firmly opposed to any form of official U.S.-Taiwan relations, whether at low or high levels, and that the “One China” principle is a red line for the Chinese Communist Party and will not allow any behavior that “crosses the line.
In response to Le Yucheng’s remarks, the Land Commission said that Taiwan and the U.S., including the international community, friendly relations, deepening cooperation, maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, is a responsible party to ensure the security and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region. The Chinese Communist authorities should face the current international concerns rationally and adjust their external actions that endanger the status quo of regional security, and should not repeatedly exert unwarranted pressure on Taiwan.
