China has issued a fiery rebuke against the U.S., Japan, and the Republic of Korea (ROK) following their joint statement on the Taiwan region and maritime affairs, calling it “blatant interference” in its internal matters. 🌏⚡️
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun doubled down on China’s stance during a press briefing Tuesday, emphasizing that Taiwan has been an inseparable part of Chinese territory since ancient times. “The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair—no outside forces get a vote here,” Guo stated, in what felt like a diplomatic mic drop. 🎤💥
The spokesperson accused the three nations of emboldening “Taiwan independence” separatists through their rhetoric, warning that such actions threaten peace across the Taiwan Strait. “Imagine your group project getting hijacked by outsiders who don’t even attend your school—that’s basically what’s happening,” Guo metaphorically clapped back. 📚✋
On the South China Sea, Guo stressed China’s commitment to resolving disputes “like adults at a negotiation table” through dialogue, while urging external players to “stop stirring the pot.” 🍜🛑
The one-China principle remains Beijing’s non-negotiable red line, with Guo urging countries to “read the room” and avoid provocative moves. Will this geopolitical drama cool down—or escalate? Stay tuned. 🔥📡
