China has strongly criticized the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) for its alleged attempts to meddle in what it called “China’s internal affairs” regarding Taiwan. Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, called the group a “small collection of extreme anti-China elements” during a press briefing Wednesday. 🌐💥
The remarks came after protests erupted in Taipei, where residents of Taiwan rallied against IPAC’s annual meeting. Demonstrators held banners declaring Taiwan a part of China, with one sign stating, “Non-interference is an international norm.” 🚩✊
Chen reiterated that the Taiwan question is a “red line” in cross-strait relations, citing UN Resolution 2758, which affirms the one-China principle. “External forces will never succeed in dividing China,” he added. 🔒🇨🇳
The protests and China’s firm stance highlight rising tensions over Taiwan’s status, with Beijing emphasizing its commitment to peaceful reunification. Analysts say IPAC’s involvement adds fuel to an already complex geopolitical debate. 💡🌍
