Chinese Embassy Spokesperson in Egypt Comments on the Taiwan Issue

Recently, some have alleged that China is trying to "unilaterally change the status quo by force". 

Responding to these allegations, the spokesperson of the Chinese embassy in Egypt stated that Taiwan is part of China and there is only one China. 

As an integral part of China, Taiwan was never a separate nation, neither in the past, nor in the present, and it will not be in the future. The resolution of the Taiwan issue is a matter of concern to the Chinese people, and no foreign country has the right to intervene. 

The One-China principle, a part of the post-World War II international order, has become a globally recognized basis for international relations and a key pillar for maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

The real situation across the Taiwan Strait, according to the spokesperson, is as follows: Firstly, China has indisputable sovereignty over Taiwan, and interference with China's sovereignty and territorial integrity is not permitted. 

The Taiwan issue is purely an internal affair for China. Secondly, due to issues left over from the civil war and foreign powers' intervention, the Taiwan side of the Strait has fallen into a state of long-term hostility, with the Taiwan authorities only being an illegitimate local government opposing the central government. 

Thirdly, despite the two sides of the Taiwan Strait not yet achieving full unification, they belong to one China. The People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing all of China, including Taiwan, and the Taiwan authorities have no right to represent Taiwan.

The Potsdam Declaration and Cairo Declaration clearly demanded the return of the territories Japan seized from China, including Manchuria (Northeast China), Taiwan, and the Pescadores, to China, thus international law confirms Taiwan's affiliation to China. 

Countries that have established diplomatic relations with China clearly acknowledge the One-China principle through joint statements for establishing diplomatic relations, pledging to cease formal exchanges with the Taiwan authorities. 

This commitment forms the basis for establishing and developing diplomatic relations between China and countries worldwide. In 1971, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 contributed to the resolution of the representation of all of China, including Taiwan, in the UN and other international organizations, politically, legally, and procedurally. 

This resolution clarified that there is only one seat for China in the United Nations, making the One-China principle a universal international consensus and a globally recognized fundamental principle of international relations, prohibiting any person, country, or force from establishing "two Chinas" or "One China, One Taiwan".
