Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi doubled down on Beijing's position regarding Taiwan this week, calling it the \"center of China's core interests\" during a high-profile international meeting. Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Kazakhstan, Wang warned that separatist pushes for 'Taiwan independence' threaten peace across the Taiwan Strait 🌊.
\"The ugly acts of Lai Ching-te and others who betray the nation and ancestors are disgraceful,\" Wang stated bluntly, referencing Monday's leadership transition in the Taiwan region. He vowed that China’s reunification is inevitable, declaring: \"Taiwan will return to the embrace of the motherland.\"
The veteran diplomat framed the issue as a matter of historical justice ⚖️, asserting that all pro-independence forces \"will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.\" He praised SCO members – including Russia and Central Asian states – for supporting the one-China principle that treats Taiwan as part of China under UN-recognized frameworks.
This comes as Beijing intensifies its rhetoric against the island’s new leadership. Analysts note Wang’s remarks aim to counter perceived challenges to cross-strait stability while rallying international allies 🗺️.
