Hey there! 🌏 Guess what? Countries around the world are rallying behind the one-China principle, especially after the new leader in the Taiwan region, Lai Ching-te, stepped into office on Monday.
First up, the Pacific island nation of Nauru 🌴 reaffirmed its firm support for the one-China principle just hours after Lai's assumption of office. In a statement, Nauru emphasized that there's only one China in the world, recognizing the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) as the sole government representing all of China. 🇨🇳
Nauru made it clear: they oppose the notion of \"Taiwan independence\" and any external interference in China's internal affairs. They stand firmly behind all efforts by the Chinese government to achieve national reunification. 🤝
Over in Central America, Honduras 🇭🇳 chimed in too! The Honduran Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying President Xiomara Castro and the government reaffirm their adherence to the one-China principle. They noted that more than 180 countries worldwide recognize this principle and that Honduras established diplomatic ties with the PRC based on it. 🌐
Meanwhile, Russia 🇷🇺 didn't hold back. On Monday, they accused the United States 🇺🇸 of escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, undermining stability in the Asia-Pacific region, and hindering China's peaceful reunification. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova pointed out that, fueled by Western countries led by the U.S., separatist forces on the Taiwan island have created an environment where cross-Strait relations are strained. 😓
It's clear that the international community is voicing strong support for the one-China principle and opposing moves towards \"Taiwan independence.\" 🌍✊
