In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly on the 24th (local time), Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (王毅) warned that “any attempt to block unification will be crushed under the wheel of history.” He also said that he opposed opposition to the camp, drawing ideological lines, and bullying, and aimed directly at the United States, which strengthens the mass environment by forming alliances. Wang had previously met with US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln to explain his opposition to Taiwan’s independence and to change his policy of pressure on China.

Director Wang said in a speech that day, “Taiwan has been a Chinese territory since ancient times, and the fact that the mainland and Taiwan belong to China has not changed until now. The principle Chinese is a fundamental rule of international relations and a common perception of the international community.” “Only when the country realizes complete unification can the Taiwan Strait truly achieve lasting peace,” he said.

Director Wang presented six arguments regarding the current international situation: peace, development, openness, cooperation, unity and fairness. “Protection is self-defeating, and disrupting the supply chain harms others and harms oneself,” he stressed. “(The international community) should collectively reject collective politics and oppose opposition to the camp,” he said. “There is no country in the world that is better than others,” he added.

Director Wang did not directly mention the United States, but much of his speech was aimed at the United States, which seeks to strengthen China’s encirclement by effectively excluding China from supply chains such as semiconductors and moving its allies.

Director Wang met with US Secretary of State Blincoln the day before and presented a more direct view on the Taiwan issue and current relations between the US and China. In a meeting with Blincoln at the United Nations headquarters in New York, he said, “The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests, and the United States has no right to interfere in China’s internal affairs.” We must express our opposition clearly. to the activities to share the independence of Taiwan,” he insisted. “I hope that the United States will correct the public perception and correct its policy that focuses on oppression and restraint on China,” he said.

In response, Secretary Blincoln emphasized that the United States is working to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait under the long-standing one-China policy, and emphasized that “maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is very important to regional and global .security and prosperity,” the US State Department said. “The United States remains open to cooperation with China of cross-interest,” Blincoln said, referring to the need to maintain open communication between the two countries and to responsibly manage bilateral relations during particularly sensitive times. , the State Department said. The US side did not reveal more specific details of the meeting, but explained that the focus of the meeting was the Taiwan issue.

This is the first time the two have spoken face to face since Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last month. It seems that the main purpose of this meeting was to confirm each other’s views and demands on the Taiwan issue and prevent conflict at a time when tensions in the Taiwan Strait have risen due to President Joe Biden’s recent comments on the defense of Taiwan. In addition, the intention is to create an atmosphere for the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders, which is expected to take place on the occasion of the G20 summit in November.
