With high-level talks on the horizon, the spotlight is back on the relationship between the world's two biggest economies. 🇨🇳🇺🇸
During a press briefing this Thursday, Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, made it crystal clear: the Taiwan question isn't just a talking point—it concerns China's core interests and serves as the very foundation of China-US relations.
This comes as observers speculate about what will be the top priority during the upcoming China-US heads-of-state meeting. For the Chinese mainland, the "ground rules" are simple but firm. 📝
Lin emphasized that for these relations to stay stable, sound, and sustainable, it is necessary to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques. In short, honoring the commitments made by past US administrations on the Taiwan question is a non-negotiable prerequisite for a healthy partnership.
In a digitally connected world where global stability impacts everyone, keeping these diplomatic lines clear is key. We'll be keeping a close watch on these cross-strait ties and international developments! ✨🌍
