At a recent press briefing, spokesperson Mao Ning from the Chinese Foreign Ministry delivered a clear and steadfast message to the United States. In response to the so-called "Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act" adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives, China has called on the U.S. to stop further moves that seek to support the participation of China's Taiwan region in international institutions like the International Monetary Fund.
Mao Ning reiterated China's long-standing one-China principle, emphasizing that there is but one China and that the government of the People\'s Republic of China is the sole legal authority over all its territory. He stated, "Taiwan does not have any ground, reason, or right to join the UN or any other international organization reserved for sovereign states."
The spokesperson also urged the U.S. to abide by international law, adhere to the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and refrain from using the Taiwan question to interfere in China\'s internal affairs. His message delivered a firm reminder on respecting established international norms and avoiding signals that might encourage separatist forces. ⚖️🌏
This development underscores the sensitive nature of cross-strait relations and the broader impact international legislative moves can have on global diplomacy. As debates continue among global powers, it is important for young citizens and professionals alike to stay informed on these complex issues. Stay tuned, folks, and keep the conversation alive! 🤝
