The name China stands for a single country, whose political boundaries have over the past millenniums contrasted or expanded, but the term was never used for more than one country, even during the pre-Mongol rule of the several kingdoms, which were called regional dynasties of one intact land.
This means the term “Nationalist China” for the small breakaway island of Formosa or Taiwan, in contrast to “Communist China” which denotes the type of government on mainland, is neither politically correct nor morally right, whether or not the system of government changes in Beijing.
It is only indicative of outside meddling in the affairs of the Chinese people to try to divide them into small enclaves as Taiwanese, or Hong-Kongese, or for that matter Macanese and Cantonese.
In other words, breakaway Formosa has no other choice but to return one day to Beijing’s jurisdiction by summoning up the courage to tell the seditious US to stop meddling in inter-Chinese affairs.
The sooner the unification the better for both the Chinese people and for the free world, which wishes for a peaceful process devoid of any military measures.
The One-China policy, which is also recognized by the UN, should take practical shape in order to remove any pretext by the meddling Americans, who relish tension all over the world.
With this in mind, Beijing has called on the United States to strictly abide by the “One-China” principle when handling issues related to Taipei stressing that China will not compromise on its core interests.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily news briefing yesterday after US President Joe Biden said Washington would come to Taipei’s aid if it were to come under attack from China, claiming – though unconvincingly – that it had a commitment to defend the breakaway island.
Taipei “is an inalienable part of China’s territory,” and the Taiwan “issue is purely China’s internal affair, and no external interference is allowed,” Wang said, adding that no one should underestimate the Chinese people’s determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Wang also warned the US against sending “wrong signals” to secessionist elements in Taipei – as well as in Hong Kong – in order to avoid “seriously harming Sino-US ties and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”
When almost all world countries recognize that sovereignty of Beijing over Taipei, including the US, despite its meddling attempts, certain European states have also begun to follow Washington’s line by fishing in troubled waters by trying to encourage secessionist elements in Taiwan.
This is harmful for regional and world peace, since any armed confrontation between the US and China as the world’s two largest economies, might drag several other countries and ignite an unwarranted world war with disastrous results for even the Planet’s fragile ecology.
